Why Should Physicians Participate?
Physician participation strengthens a coordinated network of care while helping providers manage, track, and share the responsibility of charitable care throughout our community.
WHY PARTICIPATE
Top 10 Reasons
01
MANAGE
KAPA allows you and your group to efficiently manage and track the charity care that you have always provided. 02
CHOICE
KAPA allows you to define the amount of charity care that you are able and willing to provide. 03
NETWORK
KAPA creates a whole network of providers and healthcare services that are automatically available to charity patients. 04
SCREENING
KAPA screens potential charity care patients before they are referred to you, verifying that they meet financial, residential, and healthcare need criteria. 05
ELIGIBILITY
KAPA charity care patients are eligible for services for a specific period of time and only as long as the criteria continues to be met. Patients are normally enrolled for 90–180 days depending on treatment plan as determined by a KAPA volunteer physician. 06
RECOGNITION
KAPA tracks the dollar value of the charity care that you provide so that your efforts can be appropriately recognized by our community and used as a powerful tool to advance issues of importance to providers. 07
EQUITY
KAPA allows for an equitable distribution of services by physicians, hospitals, and other providers when attending to the needs of the underserved in our community. 08
BALANCE
KAPA prevents any singular physician, physician group, hospital, or other provider from being asked to provide more than a fair share of charity care. 09
COMMUNITY
KAPA creates an infrastructure which allows for our entire community, businesses, city and county governments, media, and educational institutions to support the provision of charity healthcare services.

Join a Community of Care
Knoxville Area Project Access is a broad community effort to provide access and coordinate needed healthcare services for those who are least able to obtain such services. KAPA brings together a network of healthcare providers committed to serving East Tennessee residents who are without coverage under private or government-sponsored health insurance plans, have an income at or below 200% of the federal poverty level, and have a medical need. KAPA offers a full continuum of healthcare services without charge to those who qualify. Since 2006, participating hospitals, physicians, and medical professionals have helped make access to care possible for thousands of East Tennessee residents.
