Welcome to Blaine County Indigent Services. This department assists Blaine County residents with the payment of medical and some non medical expenses. Assistance from Blaine County is required to be a last resort. All counties in Idaho, including Blaine County, require repayment of any taxpayer funds used to assist a county resident under Idaho law.

Before assistance can be provided, however, certain requirements will have to be met and the applicant must appear for an interview.

Applicants must be prepared to provide personal information regarding living situation, income, assets of all types, insurance, resources, and much more. Once this information has been gathered, a thorough investigation will be conducted to substantiate the data and then make a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners for approval or denial. Any approvals will also include an Order to reimburse the county and the applicant will be required to sign a reimbursement agreement.

Mission Statement: The Mission of Blaine County Emergency Communications is to enhance the quality of life in our community by providing the highest level of professional emergency communication services to protect life and property. This is accomplished through teamwork, integrity and a commitment to excellence.
