ABOUT  MEDICAL  SERVICES  PROJECT

The concept behind MSP is very easy.  Registered nurses in participating school districts and some county health departments identify uninsured children who meet eligibility criteria and schedule appointments for them with participating Medical Services Project providers who have agreed to provide care for uninsured children for a specific amount of appointments each month.  The providers also agree to accept an assigned fee of either $5 or $10 from the child’s family as payment-in-full for the office visit.

Specialists have also joined MSP’s efforts by providing services beyond primary health care. Children may also receive diagnostic laboratory services and prescription medication through MSP.  When funding is available, eyeglasses are provided to eligible children at no cost.

Parents/guardians of the child are required to fill out a simple one page application.
