The CHP Health Center is a comprehensive medical practice - a Federally Qualified Health Center - and is the only primary care provider in Berkshire County that is accessible to all people, regardless of insurance status, immigrant status, or ability to pay. We provide preventive, acute and ongoing medical care for infants, children, adults and elders. We provide full, 24-hour medical coverage for our patients, 365 days a year.
 Members of our Provider Team of physicians and nurse practitioners are certified in Internal Medicine, Pediatrics and Family Practice. Each patient chooses one of these providers to be their Primary Care Provider, and the entire staff is available to meet the many health care needs of patients:
- well baby care
- adolescent health care
- gynecological care
- ongoing care for medical problems
- immunizations
- patient and parent education
- referrals for specialty care and mental health care
- same day sick visits
- nutrition and wellness counseling
- after-hours coverage by a local physician
The CHP Health Center accepts more than 100 different health insurance plans, including Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Health New England, Tufts, Aetna, Cigna and CDPHP. We also accept MassHealth, BMC Healthnet and Medicare. We are able to provide free care and reduced-price care for those who qualify. And our bottom line policy is that we always provide care regardless of the ability to pay.
The CHP Health Center also provides other important services such as nutrition counseling, enrollment assistance for insurance plans, interpreter and translation services, affordable prescription programs, and flexible appointment scheduling.

Patient Assistance, Referrals and Translation Services
Our Patient Assistance Coordinators work with patients to apply for state and federal medical plans, as well as process referrals for insurance coverage.
These Coordinators also provide Spanish medical interpreting for medical visits, as well as assistance with communications concerning referrals and insurance. For non-English speaking patients who do not speak Spanish, we use a telephone interpreter service to assure effective communication.

Our Prescription Assistance Coordinator assists with applications to pharmaceutical companies for patients without prescription coverage. These companies provide medicine to eligible people for free or reduced cost on an ongoing basis.
