Safety Net Health Care Providers Cannot Keep Up With Demand

Custom HealthCare, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Virginia Farm Bureau Federation, which has been offering insurance services to individuals and businesses since 1973.

Richmond, VA (prHWY.com) July 6, 2012 - Richmond, Virginia - Houston, Texas is a glaring example of the growing health insurance dilemma in the United States. The metropolitan area has one of the highest rates of uninsured residents in the country, with one in three residents lacking coverage. The situation in Houston is so dire, in fact, that the safety net health care providers, a network of 23 community and school-based centers offering services to those without insurance coverage, cannot keep up with the demand despite its capability to service 300,000 patients. The overwhelming demand forces the county hospital district's call center to turn away about 400 people every single day.

Further compounding the problem is reluctance on the part of some Houston health care providers to take on patients with Medicaid. According to the Texas Medical Association, one-third of physicians were willing to accept new patients with Medicaid in 2012, whereas 42% took on patients with Medicaid coverage in 2010. Fortunately, Custom HealthCare offers affordable insurance in Virginia coverage to help Virginia residents avoid the same fate.
