What Is WV CONNECT?
WV CONNECT is not a health insurance plan or an insurance company. This program was designed specifically for WORKING WEST VIRGINIANS to fund primary and preventive health services and expand access to care for the working uninsured. As a member of this program, you are part of a Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH). It is an approach to providing comprehensive primary care for children, youth and adults. Team-based care is an essential component of PCMH and is inclusive of physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and other health professionals. A medical home offers preventive, acute and chronic health services that are coordinated for patients and families by provider-directed care teams. Care within a medical home is accessible, family-centered, continuous, coordinated and culturally effective.
