F&CS Healthcare Navigators provide free and unbiased assistance to clients across the state who need affordable health insurance. Navigators assist clients with selecting and applying for an insurance plan through the Marketplace, TennCare, and/or CoverKids.
The Health Assist program provides under and uninsured Tennesseans with information and referral to low and no-cost, community-based health care resources (including medical, dental, vision, prescription, mental health, and other resources). Specialists also screen all callers for eligibility for publicly funded health insurance programs.
F&CS provides fee-based, professional interpreter services in nearly 30 languages and dialects for healthcare and social service providers in Middle Tennessee and their patients and clients. Services are offered in person and via videoconference and telephone. Fees are paid to F&CS by the contracting agency and are free to the client.
