AGENCY:
Funding Amount: $500,000. There
will be an additional supplement of
$500,000 to this grant in FY 2007.
SUMMARY: The Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services has awarded a
supplemental grant entitled ‘‘Increasing
Access to Health Care for Bucks County
Residents’’ to the Bucks County Health
Improvement Project, Inc., 1201
Langhorne-Newton Road, Langhorne,
PA 19047. The project period is
September 10, 2002 through September
9, 2008. The Bucks County Health
Improvement Project (BCHIP) proposes
to provide 3 ongoing major programs,
which were initiated under the parent
grant. These include continuation and
expansion of: The adult health clinic
which has served over 3,274 patients
having 9,200 visits; the dental program
for needy children and adults; and the
Cardiovascular Risk Reduction program.
Through these programs, BCHIP
provides health and dental services for
vulnerable populations, including
under-insured and recent immigrants.
These BCHIP health services for the
indigent and uninsured have helped
meet fundamental physical, dental, and
mental health needs for residents,
including immigrant groups, who are
otherwise without resources for needed

care. There is concern that without
additional supplemental funding,
provision of these vital health care
services in Bucks County would be at
risk. An additional 2 years of funding
will permit BCHIP to follow-on with
several of their major, demonstrated
successful programs delivering
community care and outreach to
targeted groups with serious unmet
needs.
Furthermore, the BCHIP consortium
of public and private hospitals and
outpatient health and dental providers
has collaborated over the past 15 years
to develop an impressively efficient
administrative framework for the
donation, provision and coverage of a
wide array of health services for the
medically indigent. Additional funding
will further foster the improvement and
expansion of their model for
administering health care through
multiple programs to the needy. Over
the past 2 years, BCHIP leaders have
been sharing their administrative model
and experience with other health U.S.
organizations and communities,
including a ‘‘Communities Joined in
Action’’ conference in New Orleans and
quarterly Pennsylvania State Health
Improvement Plan (SHIP) meetings.
They plan to continue to offer guidance
to providers and health organizations
gleaned from their expanding, ongoing
service programs under requested
supplemental funding.
This award is made based on the
authority granted by section 1110 of the
Social Security Act, which authorizes
appropriations each fiscal year for
grants to pay for part of the cost of
research or demonstration projects that
will improve the administration and
effectiveness of programs.
