Tencon Health Plan

Tencon_LogoTencon Health Plan is a community sponsored, non-profit corporation that helps uninsured adults living in our ten county service area, receive medically necessary health care services.

Medically necessary services include physician and specialist visits, outpatient lab tests and x-rays, and prescriptions from a list of covered medications. It does not cost you anything to participate in the Tencon Health Plan, but some services require a small co-pay of $5.00 or $10.00.

Once you are enrolled in the Tencon Health Plan, you will be asked to select a physician from a list of participating primary care doctors. You will also receive a membership handbook that will give you information about how to use the plan services. Once you receive your Tencon Health Plan ID Card in the mail (about 2 weeks after you enroll), you may begin receiving program services.

  • Be a resident of the District Health Department #10 service area

  • Be a citizen of the United States or a legal alien
