Education & Intake

We believe in personal empowerment through education and peer support. Therefore, the first step in the program is an educational session to ensure that clients better understand the virus as well as treatment. At intake, care coordination staff assist linkage to medical care and your treatment plan, including referrals and access to certain Tulsa CARES programs.

Benefits Application and Enrollment

Care coordination staff assist clients with completing necessary paperwork for Medicaid, Medicare, and the Tobacco Tax Program as well as screening and enrollment of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits.

Testing & Linkage to Care

After intake, clients are sent to a local lab partner for testing which helps our providers prescribe the best individualized medication regimen. Thanks to medical advancements, treatment has a 98% cure rate.

HCV Drug Assistance

Tulsa CARES staff and/or partners will work with clients to complete a patient assistance application to cover HCV medication when no other pay source is available. Tulsa CARES also maintains agreements with local pharmacies and offers co-pay assistance to eligible clients.
