California low income health program enrollment


















The LIHP began enrollment in 10 counties on July 1, and as of this summer, 50 counties were participating. As of the most recent enrollment reports, , Californians have been enrolled in LIHP across the state. The US Census Bureau reported this week that while poverty remains at record high levels, more Americans are getting health care coverage. Thanks to programs like LIHP and other provisions of the Affordable Care Act, falling on hard times no longer means you and your family must lose health coverage or suffer from lack of access to care.

Sometimes it is hard to find out costs. There may also be more than one charge, such as one charge from the doctor and another from the hospital or clinic. Ask if there is a discount for people who pay with cash or credit card and ask if you can make payments. Every hospital must provide a list of its 25 most common procedures. These include inpatient services, like hip surgery, as well as outpatient services, like cataract surgery or a colonoscopy. The law says that a hospital must give you a written estimate of hospital charges if you do not have insurance.

The hospital must also give you information on financial aid programs and charity care. Skip to Main Content. Translate Accessibility Contact Us. Edit Tab Based on Income.
