District Cares Specialty Benefits
The Health Care District of Palm Beach County administers the District Cares specialty benefits for eligible patients of the C. L. Brumback Primary Care and Dental Centers. The specialty benefits are available to uninsured residents of Palm Beach County who do not qualify for any other public assistance health coverage program and who meet income and residency requirements. You will meet with a financial counselor who will assist you in applying for Medicaid and/or marketplace programs/products.

Their primary care provider will coordinate comprehensive patient treatment with a team of care providers based on a patient’s individual medical needs. Care will move seamlessly as needed between primary care providers, medical specialists, hospitals and other services.
