Welcome
For Project Access Northwest, opening doors means removing the logistical and financial barriers to specialty medical care for patients and physicians.
A Model of Care that Works
Project Access screens all patient referrals to ensure that appropriate tests and paperwork are completed BEFORE the uninsured patient goes to see a specialist. By arranging for the necessary laboratory and imaging services as well as qualified interpreters, we remove the barriers that prevent patients from keeping their appointments with medical specialists. More than 95% of Project Access patients keep their appointments, compared to fewer than 70% in typical uninsured populations.
Who Volunteers?
Nearly 1,100 healthcare specialists currently volunteer with Project Access Northwest.
Based on the principal of sharing the load of caring for the uninsured across a broad section of the provider community, providers commit to seeing a discrete number of uninsured each year.
A growing number of administrative volunteers are working with Case Management and in Administration.

Who Do We Serve?
Our patients, all of whom are uninsured or underinsured, are referred to us for specialty care from safety net primary care providers throughout King and Snohomish counties.
Our patients live at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty level. A third of our patients speak a language other than English.
