Description
Launched in 2005 as Bridges to Care Plus, Project Access Nashville Specialty Care provides a coordinated system of care to low-income, uninsured residents of Davidson County, which links patients to a network of community-based medical clinics, volunteer physician specialists, collaborating hospitals, and ancillary partners. Qualified patients are assigned a primary medical home at one of the primary care clinics in the Project Access/Safety Net Consortium of Middle Tennessee network. When a patient requires specialty care, a referral is sent to PANSC. A PANSC care coordinator will verify eligibility, collect medical records, make the initial appointment, and coordinate care with the clinic, patient, and volunteer specialist. PANSC also assists with and tracks any needed follow-up visits, ancillary services (such as laboratory, imaging, and diagnostic testing), and interpreting services. If required, participating hospitals provide services at no charge.
