Individuals may receive primary care for up to 10 months if they also attend a financial literacy course or health coaching. The financial literacy course or health coaching is provided by a qualifying non-profit. The goal of the pilot is two-fold. First help those in poverty learn financial literacy or health practices that will benefit them long-term. Second, provide access to primary care to those that may not have any access to health care. Only three health districts will participate in the program in the first year.
