The
California Health Care Options
(HCO) Presentations are educational
and informational sessions offered
to Medi-Cal eligible persons
at County welfare offices, clinics
and hospitals. They provide the
tools with which to make an informed
decision about managed health
care.
No appointment is necessary and all services are free. Medi-Cal participants
and applicants may be referred by County Eligibility Workers, by the
HCO Call Center (1-800-430-4263) or by the informing packet materials
they receive in the mail. Customer service is available to answer questions,
assist with the paperwork or accept enrollment/ disenrollment forms.

Healthy Way LA (HWLA), a no cost health care program available to Los Angeles
County residents, was created to expand health care coverage to eligible, low-income
uninsured residents of LA County, by which patients are assigned to a "medical home"
at DHS Comprehensive Health Centers or Community Partner. Benefits include all primary
and preventive care services, access to specialty services, access to mental health
services, 24/7 customer service and nurse advice lines and improved access to
appointments. HWLA enrollees will also be issued a card identifying their participation
in the program.
Participants must be:
- Los Angeles County Residents
- Adults ages 19-64 years old
- Citizens or legal resident 5 + years
- Not pregnant and not eligible for Medi-Cal
- Income at or below 133% FPL.

The
Medi-Cal program pays for medical
care for some people whose savings
and income are too low for them
to be able to pay for their own
care. Those people, in turn,
may be required to pay the medical
care costs back to Medi-Cal from
what they owned when they died.
The amount repaid can then be
used to pay for care for others
who need it.
