RIHCA - Rhode Island Health Center Association

Outreach and Enrollment

The goal of the Outreach and Enrollment program is to assist families, individuals and health centers to gain access to services and resources available in the community. The program works with special populations in targeted areas designing, coordinating, and implementing outreach activities and facilitating access to specific services.

The Outreach and Enrollment Program works to increase RIte Care enrollment at member community health centers through state-level advocacy and community based strategies. RIHCA assists health centers in ensuring that any individual in the community who is eligible for RIte Care is enrolled and able to use the available services.

About RIte Care

RIte Care provides families on the Family Independence Program and eligible uninsured pregnant women, parents, and children up to age 19 with comprehensive health coverage. Families receive most of their health care through one of three participating Health Plans: Neighborhood Health Plan of Rhode Island, United Healthcare of New England and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of RI.

If you have a family with children under the age of 19 or are pregnant, there are RIte Care application assistants, called Family Resource Counselors, available at the health centers and other locations throughout the state who can assist you with your RIte Care application.
