What Services Are Available Through Access Dupage
For each of the services, Access DuPage enrollees typically pay a modest fee.
- Access DuPage assigns each enrolled member to a primary care physician or a clinic that provides ongoing primary care. Copayments tend to cost no more than fifteen dollars for primary care services.
- If an Access DuPage primary care provider recommends that an enrollee see a specialist, Access DuPage will attempt to find a specialist to treat them. Most specialty care is provided for copayments ranging from five to fifteen dollars, although some providers may charge higher rates, and some specialty care may not be provided at reduced cost, at the decision of the specialist.
- Most lab and x-ray services ordered by the primary care doctor or referred specialists are covered by the program and available at a local hospital for a five dollar copayment per test.
- Most prescription drugs ordered by the primary care physician or referred specialists are covered by the program and available at select DuPage County pharmacies for copayments ranging from ten dollars to fifty dollars. Generic medications covered by Access DuPage should cost no more than ten dollars and may be less expensive if patients frequent pharmacies offering lower cost pharmacy programs.
