What is the Lifeline Health Plan?

The Lifeline Health Plan is a low-cost medical plan aimed at uninsured patients who have difficulty qualifying for affordable health insurance. The plan should NOT replace health insurance.

Why Are We Doing This?

We believe quality health care should be affordable for everyone. With this health plan, our patients would be able to afford the quality health care they deserve at a fraction of the cost.

Who Can Enroll?

This is ONLY for uninsured patients.

How To Enroll

Visit one of our four clinic locations across Georgia to pick up the simple one-page enrollment form. This form will need to be filled out annually.

COST

The Lifeline Health Plan requires an annual fee of $500 paid by cash or credit card at the time of enrollment. We do not accept checks.
