| Enrollment Patients can be enrolled into Project Access by visiting one of the area's six low-cost, primary-care clinics (Guadalupe, Hunter Health, the Health Department, GraceMed Health, Center for Health and Wellness and Good Samaritan). The Social and Rehabilitation Services area office has co-located six full-time eligibility specialists, one at each clinic. The SRS eligibility specialists enroll patients, gather income verification, and assess patients' eligibility for state programs including Medicaid and S-CHIP (Healthwave in Kansas).
Patients may also be enrolled at the request of a participating physician who has an eligible patient already established on his/her caseload or at the request of a number of the area's primary care residency programs affiliated with the University of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita. Currently, 40 percent of patients are enrolled into Project Access through the six clinics; the other 60 percent are enrolled at the request of physicians in private practice or within the residency programs.
