Open Enrollment Open House
With the annual open enrollment period for health insurance coming soon, we're hosting a weekly series of Thursday evening open houses at HELPcare Clinic in Austin so area residents can explore the cost savings and improved access to primary care they can get through membership.
During our informal Open Enrollment Open House sessions, HELPcare Clinic staff will be available to provide tours and answer your questions about our affordable membership program, which includes
- $0 charge for primary care office visits, including wellness, prevention and acute care
- $0 charge for more than 100 diagnostic lab test as needed
- $0 charge for your first two generic prescription medications
- $0 charge for metabolic health coaching to help you address underlying causes of disease.
Open Enrollment Open House will run from 5-8 p.m. on the following Thursdays:
- October 12
- October 19
- October 26
- November 2
- November 9
You'll also have an opportunity to discuss how your open enrollment choices can save you money that could help offset your membership dues, and will get a copy of our educational booklet, Saving Through Membership.
