In February 2014 we began piloting a Premium Assistance Program. Premium Assistance participants earn below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level, which previously qualified them for 100% discounted services with hospital systems and other health care providers. As of January 1, 2014, however, they are required to pay premiums, deductibles, co-insurance, and prescription costs, placing private insurance out of reach for many of them. Project Access NOW leverages the tax credits and cost sharing reductions available to participants to pay the balance of the premiums for the medical and dental plans they have selected. Our volunteer network supports program participants by writing off the remaining out of pocket expenses, which are often a bigger barrier than the premium payments themselves. 363 people were enrolled in Premium Assistance during this fiscal year. Starting in February of 2015 we began a pilot project to provide health insurance outreach and enrollment activities targeting low-income families. Now we are able to combine many of our strategies to make sure that everyone we touch gets access to the care they need whether it is through Medicaid, the Health Insurance Exchange or our Classic Program. From February 2015 to June 2015, 2,235 people were enrolled in health insurance coverage. Outreach and Enrollment Assisters knocked on over 54,000 doors in low income neighborhoods and nearly 40,000 homes in those areas received direct mail information about insurance enrollment. 652760 Community Assistance - Many times, when low-income people are discharged from a hospital stay or emergency room visit, they face barriers that can stand in the way of their recovery. With the C3 Community Assistance Program, we support discharge planners, social workers, and care managers to connect low-income patients to the resources they need for a safe discharge. These resources may include transportation, temporary housing, and medication assistance. Providence Health & Services has been our development partner with this initiative and we expect expansion to other hospital systems. Accomplishments for this program through June 30, 2015, which began providing service in November of 2014 are as follows:Distinct clients served 2,857Medication costs $121,429Total cost of services provided $324,741 433168 Donated Care Coordination Services - Nationally known as the Pathways Community HUB, the Pathways model focuses on connecting people in need to critical resources and paying for the outcome of actually connecting to a resource, not just making a referral. For over three years, Project Access NOW has been working with a number of social service organizations in the Rockwood neighborhood of East Multnomah County. Rockwood has a great richness in racial, ethnic, and religious diversity, but it is a highly distressed area with increasing crime, dense poverty, and decreasing success in education, employment, and access to healthy food. Partner organizations in the Rockwood Pathways Project are committed to working collaboratively to improve the health of this community by creating a cross-sector system that holistically meets the needs of a family or individual through supported, equitable, and appropriate connection to care and services. The data collected is then used to identify system inequities and enable the community to make the changes needed to ensure our systems benefit the people they serve. From March June 2015 we have been building the infrastructure to launch this project in the fall of 2015. A smaller Pathways Project known as Screen and Intervene has connected families with children from Providence Health & Service Residency Clinics to a variety of resources to address food insecurity. 45 children and their families were connected to food, social service and other resources during this fiscal year. 216041 104636 2070727 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true true true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 10 0 true 20 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 17 17 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false OR X X Linda Nilsen-Solares 5033456553 PO Box 10953 Portland OR 97296 X Adriana Linares Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Eddie Bell Board Member 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michelle Kelly Treasurer 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Brenda Durbin Board Member 0.75 0.00 X 0 0 0 Katie Iverson Chair Elect 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Brant Norquist Board Member 1.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 Howard Klink Board Member 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Judith Woodruff Board Member 1.75 0.00 X 0 0 0 Paulina Menchaca Board Member 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Adam Nemer Board Member 0.75 0.00 X 0 0 0 Marie Napolitano Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Arturo Peraza Board Member 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 Liz Rabiner Lippoff Board Chair 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Joe Ichter Secretary 1.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Kari Stanley Vice Chair 1.75 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Larlene Dunsmuir Mkt & Dev Chair 1.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Dianne Danowski Smith Board Member 1.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 Linda Nilsen-Solares Executive Director 40.00 0.00 X 91978 0 2646 91978 2646 0 false false false 0 76736 95367 3309988 9311 3482091 Pharmacy Bridge 624100 104636 104636 104636 153 153 0 0 0 0 16410 76736 43023 -26613 -26613 0 0 0 3560267 104636 -26460 0 0 0 0 94624 51829 23712 19083 0 653782 560649 46043 47090 10186 8891 1213 82 78453 65597 5827 7029 63338 52893 5402 5043 0 0 12411 12411 0 0 0 101510 96451 5057 2 32307 31906 374 27 22065 9400 11295 1370 57205 48810 5738 2657 0 40549 35798 4434 317 8677 7646 1031 0 10570 5337 4780 453 0 0 40972 40547 314 111 4626 4626 Cmty Premium Assistance Prog 354530 354530 Medication, Medical Supplies a 291869 291869 Client Services 257039 257039 Client Navigation 103581 103581 58536 47954 6834 3748 2296830 2070727 139091 87012 138823 863011 96078 124231 166752 738811 15963 20579 0 0 0 0 8508 34248 181128 78063 128939 103065 0 0 0 0 29382 66405 584445 1950350 74986 173545 994 18623 21538 93609 196077 X 372436 683570 118400 1070703 490836 1754273 584445 1950350 1263437 X false true X true false X 937147 989896 1137194 1509890 3482091 8056218 0 0 937147 989896 1137194 1509890 3482091 8056218 0 8056218 454 352 52 68 153 1079 0 3431 5890 8169 48985 66475 8123772 0.99170 0.98650 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 7165 7165 173963 78063 95900 103065 Accrued Vacation 21538 21538 X 3635803 75536 75536 3560267 3560267 2372366 75536 75536 2296830 2296830 Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Organization could be subject to income tax on unrelated business income.
