Financial Assistance

Health care coverage helps pay for important services when you get sick or injured. But if you’re not insured through your job, Medicare, or Medicaid, how do you find an affordable plan? Westside Family Healthcare’s certified assisters can help you find the right plan for free, and you may qualify for a tax credit that makes it easier to afford than you think.

Westside Family Healthcare offers free, expert help to guide you through your health coverage options. Our certified enrollment specialists can help you: 

Westside assists patients with Medicaid applications through the Delaware Division of Social Services (DSS). Our certified specialists help you complete and submit your application to determine eligibility. Delaware Medicaid and CHIP eligibility renewals restarted on April 1, 2024. Over a 12-month period, the state will process renewals based on recipients’ annual renewal date. Some recipients will be required to complete a renewal packet to verify their eligibility for Medicaid coverage.

If you have questions or need help with the Medicaid renewal process, or have been denied Medicaid, our enrollment specialists are here to help. If you no longer qualify for Medicaid, you may be eligible for other coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace.

These state programs connect patients with specialists at reduced cost and cover some cancer screenings at no cost. The programs are not health insurance, but make care more affordable.

Medication assistance programs help patients who cannot afford their prescription medications. Many pharmaceutical companies offer free or discounted medicine for people who are uninsured or underinsured. Each program has its own eligibility requirements, and you may need to provide current proof of income.

A helpful resource for finding medication assistance programs is NeedyMeds, which offers up-to-date information on discounts, savings programs and affordable medication options.
