The Washtenaw Health Plan (WHP) provides access to medically necessary care including primary care, specialty care, hospitalizations, emergency care and prescription drugs for qualified Washtenaw County residents who don't have access to health insurance.  Every WHP Member has a Primary Care Provider (PCP) who provides direct care and helps coordinate any other health services that are needed.  Attention New WHP Members:  Make an appointment with your PCP for a new patient physical as soon as possible. 

Here is a list of Primary Care Providers who see WHP Members:
