ACHES & PAINS Healthcare Voucher Program
ACHES and PAINS healthcare vouchers can help Grand County residents get the care they need, close to home. If you are uninsured (or under-insured for mental health) and depending on your income level, vouchers can cover costs of some doctor visits, mental health visits, and prescriptions, plus well-child exams for children and acute or preventative dental visits for children and pregnant women. Supportive service vouchers are also available, to support needs such as gas or hotel stays for health appointments.

How to Apply
Voucher program applications are available at most Grand County medical, dental, and mental health providers, who can pre-screen you to see if you qualify. Depending on the type of voucher you need, vouchers are for people without insurance or who are under-insured (for mental health needs only.) Applications must be completed before your appointment.
To see if your income qualifies for vouchers, check this chart.
Once your application is complete, your provider will request a voucher for your appointment(s). Your provider will send your bill directly to the Grand County Rural Health Network for payment.
To see if you qualify or to learn more, contact your local provider, school nurse, or Grand County Rural Health Network at vouchers@gcruralhealth.org or by calling: 970-725-3477.
