Health & Human services

Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, there are many options available for uninsured individuals and families. Additionally, there are many new provisions expanding health coverage to those not previously eligible in the past. The Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services offers enrollment assistance with many health insurance programs such as Medi-Cal and Covered CA. Our Navigators can determine program qualifications quickly over the phone.
