SAN MATEO, CA--(Marketwired - Jan 6, 2014) - Seeking better ways to screen and enroll uninsured patients, four leading California community clinic organizations, serving more than 50,000 patients annually, have selected PointCarePA, a web-based, mobile-friendly patient screening, enrollment, and reporting technology. The software is provided by PointCare, a patient advocacy-focused company whose clients have screened more than a half-million patients. The four organizations, East Valley Community Health Center, Mendocino Coast Clinics, Mountain Valleys Health Centers, and Clinica Monsenor Oscar A. Romero, will use PointCarePA to provide clinic staff with instant access to screening, enrollment and reporting tools and health coverage options for their uninsured patients.

 "Our community members continue to face uncertainty and confusion when it comes to signing up for health insurance," said Sheral Thorlaksson, COO of Mountain Valleys Health Centers, which serves patients in Lassen, Shasta, Siskiyou, and Modoc Counties. "Now is the time to use the most advanced tools to educate and enroll these patients. With PointCarePA, our staff can quickly provide patients with enrollment information and help them through the entire process."
