  • Established in 1987, D.C. Chartered Health Plan, Inc., (Chartered) is a private sector, minority-owned and operated managed care organization, currently participating in the District of Columbia Medicaid Managed Care Program. Chartered's 20 year mission has been to enhance access to high quality health care services in underserved areas throughout its diverse communities. In 1990, a sister company, Rapid Trans, was incorporated to schedule, manage and transport Chartered's Medicaid members to and from their medical appointments. In 1992, Chartered established its first staff model primary care provider site. On March 25, 1995, Chartered opened a 15,000 square foot, state of the art, and comprehensive health care center. The Chartered Family Health Center provides pediatric, internal medicine, family practice, OB/GYN, podiatry, allergy, WIC, radiology, laboratory and pharmacy services. On May 17, 2000, Chartered was purchased by DC Health Systems, Inc., a DC-based healthcare services company, owned by Jeffrey Thompson, the financier who successfully secured the start-up capital to launch Chartered in 1987. Chartered has maintained strong financial viability and has enhanced its financial position significantly from 1998 to present. With its fiscal strength and the corporate commitment of its owner, Chartered is in a dominant financial position to continue to develop its infrastructure and health care delivery systems that will result in better service delivery to its current and future members. Through the collaboration of its employees, providers and community based organizations; Chartered delivers care in a culturally sensitive and caring manner. Chartered is committed to the philosophy of quality improvement and its primary goals have been customer service and health outcomes improvement as well as systems and operations integration improvement. As a result, Chartered became accredited by the National Committee of Quality Assurance (NCQA) in April 2007. Currently, Chartered enrolls over 38,000 TANF, SCHIP and 50-64 beneficiaries and over 21,000 Alliance/uninsured recipients. Tamara A.
