The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) provides multiple options for individuals and families without health insurance. It introduces regulations aimed at expanding health coverage to those previously ineligible. California's Medi-Cal program has also undergone significant changes, extending coverage to a broader population. The Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services offers support for enrolling in health insurance programs like Medi-Cal, Covered California, and the Kaiser Community Health Care Program. Our Navigators can assess your eligibility for these programs over the phone, making the enrollment process simpler and more convenient for you.

Already enrolled in Medi-Cal or Covered CA? Need help navigating this complex system? We can help. Please call us for more information at (562) 570-7979. We offer assistance in English, Spanish, and Khmer (Cambodian). The Health Access (HA) program assists individuals with enrolling in health coverage programs such as Medi-Cal, Covered California, and the Kaiser Community Health Care Program. 

Please note that the HA program does not collect or store information about immigration status. However, immigration status may be used by individual health coverage programs to determine eligibility.
