As Nevada's federally designated primary care association, GBPCA promotes access to affordable, comprehensive & quality health care for Nevada's underserved populations. Across the nation there is a community health center movement. We support & advocate on behalf of the centers, tribal clinics and other health care safety net providers throughout our state.
Introducing the UDS
Mapper In a period of
health system reform and safety net expansion, it is essential that
health center organizations and partners have access to tools and data
that can assist in evaluating the geographic reach, penetration, and
growth of the Section 330-funded Health Center Program and its
relationship to other federally-linked health resources. As such, HRSA
has worked with the Robert Graham Center and John Snow, Inc. to develop
a mapping and support tool driven primarily from data within the
Uniform Data System (UDS). The UDS Mapper is part of the HealthLandscape
online mapping platform. Find a NACHC Training to fit your needs.

Premiums for the Federally-administered Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan (PCIP) will drop as much as 40 percent in 18 States, and eligibility standards will be eased in 23 States and the District of Columbia to ensure more Americans with pre-existing conditions have access to affordable health insurance. The Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan was created under the Affordable Care Act and serves as a bridge to 2014 when insurers will no longer be allowed to deny coverage to people with any pre-existing condition, like cancer, diabetes, and asthma. To further enhance the program, beginning this fall, HHS will begin paying agents and brokers for successfully connecting eligible people with the PCIP program. HHS is also working with insurers to notify people about the PCIP option in their State when their application for health insurance is denied. The program covers a broad range of health benefits and is designed as a bridge for people with pre-existing conditions who cannot obtain health insurance coverage in today’s private insurance market. In 2014, all Americans – regardless of their health status – will have access to affordable coverage either through their employer or through new competitive marketplaces called Exchanges, and insurers will be prohibited from charging more or denying coverage to anyone based on their health status. For more information, including eligibility, plan benefits and rates, as well as information on how to apply, visit www.pcip.gov and click on "Find Your State." Then select your State from a map of the United States or from the drop-down menu.To find a chart showing changes to PCIP premiums in the States with Federally-administered PCIP programs, visit www.HealthCare.gov/news/factsheets/pcip05312011a.html.The PCIP Call Center is open from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Eastern Time.
