HealthReach

HealthReach services are available to everyone, regardless of ability to pay. We bill all of the major insurance companies, Medicare and MaineCare. We also establish payment plans when needed. Through funding from the U.S. Bureau of Primary Health Care, we also offer an Affordable Care Program based on income and family size to assist with the cost of health center services. In addition, through the HealthReach Navigator Program, patients receive assistance with identifying and applying for other programs that help with the cost of health care and medications.
