Our Employee Health Connection (EHC) is a plan whereby an employer can offer a shared, affordable medical benefit to their employees.
How the program works:

• Eligible employees: Those who are not eligible for the company’s offered health insurance plan or those whose company offers no health plan, and are under certain income levels.
• Costs: Patients will pay a $10 copay at the time of their office visit at Three Streams. The participating employer will pay $35 billed after the visit.
• Caps: There is a $540 employer cap per year. Once the employer has reached this cap, they are no longer responsible for additional costs. (12 visits per year)
• Once the cap is reached, the employee will be required to pay full price for additional visits, or provide proof of household income to qualify for our discounted sliding scale.
• The plan provides a visit with a medical practitioner, either MD, PA or Nurse Practitioner.
• If needed, enrollment in our Medication Assistance Program and fees will be covered.
• Comprehensive Annual Preventive Health Exam
• Free in-house lab collection
