Healthcare Assistance for the Uninsured in the EUP


What is CHAC?

The Community Health Access Coalition (CHAC) is a non-profit, volunteer organization coordinating access to healthcare for uninsured residents of Chippewa, Luce and Mackinac Counties in the Eastern Upper Peninsula of Michigan (EUP).  

Why was CHAC established?

CHAC was established in response to the 3700 uninsured residents in the EUP.  These individuals fall into the "healthcare access gap”.  They do not have access to an employee sponsored health plan, yet they do not qualify for state funded programs. 

What does CHAC do?

CHAC fills the "heathcare access gap" for residents of the EUP.   CHAC helps connect uninsured individuals with access to healthcare services such as primary care, certain specialty care, the top ten lab tests, certain blood work, chest x-ray's, radiology and pharmaceuticals.  (CHAC is not a health insurance policy.)

Are You Eligible for CHAC Services?

CHAC Eligibility Requirements are clear and the Enrollment process is simple.  We have specially trained Enrollment Volunteers to help you every step of the way.  Contact your local CHAC office and we will help you determine if you are eligible for CHAC healthcare services.  If you are eligible, we will schedule an appointment for you to come into the office to enroll.

CHAC Is Here For You!

Wherever you are in the Eastern Upper Pensinsula of Michigan, CHAC has a convenient location for you.  Contact the office closest to you today and obtain the healthcare coverage that is waiting for you.
