Insurance Enrollment Assistance – Call 253-722-2154 to set up an appointment with one of our insurance navigators. If someone has had a qualifying life change like loss of job/insurance they can call to determine what kind of insurance they can get. There are also programs that can help with insurance premiums that they can be referred to. Here is the information page: https://www.commhealth.org/patient-resources/insurance-enrollment-assistance/
Covid-19 Drive Thru testing – By appointment only, call 253-722-2161. We are offering testing to anyone who needs it, they do not have to be a current Community Health Care patient. If they need a test prior to a medical or dental procedure, or have symptoms we can test them, call and our customer service staff can walk them through the process. We are testing at the Hilltop, Eastside, Lakewood and Spanaway clinics and TPCHD is also referring clients to us. I’ve watched the process and from check in to completed test and driving away takes about 3 minutes!
Medical, Dental, Pharmacy and Behavioral Health are open for regular patient care – same appointment line, 253-722-2161. We are doing tele-health and in-person appointments depending on the situation. We are accepting new patients. Immunizations were down in April by 42% compared to last year, which could lead to outbreaks of other diseases like measles. Chronic conditions or acute illnesses are being treated and help to prevent emergency health situations.
