Health Insurance Assistance Program

Health Care is a Right for All, Not a Privilege for Some

The Health Insurance Assistance Program (HIAP) is an intensive enrollment and case-management program that helps uninsured people and families successfully apply for available health insurance and nutrition assistance programs like Medi-Cal, Covered California, and CalFresh (food stamps). The program provides individuals and families with education about and assistance with the application process, case management to ensure successful initial enrollment and annual renewal assistance.

The Health Insurance Assistance Program has certified enrollment guides stationed at all of our health centers. HIAP works closely with the local Department of Human and Social Services, as well as other program administrators. The program's goal is to increase the number of insured Californians so that they have access to quality health care and nutritious foods.

How do HIAP services work?

• HIAP offers affordable healthcare services to all patients. We accept most insurance plans, and our enrollment counselors can help uninsured or underinsured individuals apply for eligible benefits.
• You may enroll in a qualified health plan through Covered California and Medi-Cal with the help of our certified counselors.
• Additionally, we offer healthcare services at a highly discounted rate based on your income and family size if you don’t qualify for public or private insurance. Click here to learn more.
