Facilitating Access to Core Healthcare Services
The Medical Program offered by St. Johns County Social Services assists uninsured individuals who are either actively employed or living with a disability and coping with progressive or life-limiting illnesses. Eligible participants may receive coverage for inpatient physician services, including hospital-based care. The program also offers access to specialty physician services for diagnosing and managing advanced or complex medical conditions.
Beyond inpatient and specialist care, the program extends coverage to various outpatient services. These include physical therapy, diagnostic imaging such as X-rays and scans, and qualified home health care services.
Please note that the St. Johns County Medical Program does not cover all medical conditions or circumstances. For additional information about covered services, it is strongly recommended that you contact the department directly.
