The Access Partnership: Expanding Outpatient Health Care Access for Uninsured Patients at One Academic Medical Center
TAP-FA is an innovative charity care model operationalizing a financial assistance policy for individuals with financial need who are ineligible for subsidized insurance. In the absence of federal policies to expand access to care for immigrants in this population, academic medical centers have an opportunity to address this gap. The TAP-FA model provides a blueprint for the provision of inclusive and equitable care for patients without access to insurance and could be implemented at other academic medical centers.
