• Timeliness - clinical appointments are just another visit to your private doctor
• Privacy – between your doctor and you
• Affordability – all clients benefit financially paying either nothing for services received or minimal amounts for some services.
• Convenience – services are accessed based on the clients’ preference
• Medication – as mentioned before, people accessing care through HCJ receive their antiretroviral medication through the existing GOJ mechanism whereby they do not pay for these medications.

When clients onboard to HCJ, they are assessed through the use of a socio-economic screening tool. Clients are categorized as either reimbursable or non-reimbursable: the reimbursable client accesses all services (clinical, laboratory and psychological) free of cost; the non-reimbursable client benefit from reduced laboratory and psychological fees – lab fees for instance can cost as little as 10% of average costs in the private sector.

No. All clients who access treatment and care through HCJ have access to free case management services once they consent to case management – through case management we guide clients through their treatment experience; adherence to medication, health education, risk prevention and so on. And we also link persons to psychological care through our psychotherapeutic partner.

Quite simple – send an email to info@healthconnectja.com, call us on 1-876-669-7349 or WhatsApp us at 876-308-0180 and our administrative officers will guide them through the onboarding process.

Onboarding consists of a few short activities including contract signing; despite this clinicians and laboratories have onboarded in as little as two weeks.

For the private clinicians, HCJ provides many adjunct services including screening, contact tracing, surveillance and case management services. Case management includes the day-to-day monitoring of client appointments to minimize persons missing their appointments or falling off their treatment, provision of health education to clients as well as assisting clients to remain adherent to their medication.
