What is the Sandoval County Health Care Assistance Program?

The Sandoval County Health Care Assistance Program (HCAP) is a program that provides health care services to low-income residents of Sandoval County and can show proof that they have resided in the County for 90 consecutive days. The person may qualify for health care services provided through HCAP if they are at or below 185% of the current Federal Poverty Guidelines.

The health care services available to eligible persons are as follows:

Ambulance
Inpatient Hospital Services – No Emergency Room Visits
Outpatient Behavioral Health Services
Outpatient Primary Care Services (includes audiology)
Senior Safety Essential, such as pain relief/balance support footwear and shower grab bars
Pharmacy – Prescriptions and Medications per Medicaid formulary. Excluded are all Schedule 2 medications and special $5.00 prescriptions
Cremations

Individuals who meet all eligibility criteria are eligible for the fiscal year which is July 1 through June 30. Individuals must apply each fiscal year to determine their eligibility for HCAP. All payments for services covered under HCAP are paid to the provider not the individual. HCAP pays only a portion of the cost, not the billed amount and may change the amount paid from one fiscal year to the next based on funding. Payments are never made to the person only to the service provider.
