Healthcare Access Program

HAP

 

No one should skip care or prescriptions because of cost. The Healthcare Access Program (HAP) helps low‑ to moderate‑income individuals and families pay for the medical care they need but cannot afford.

We support community members who:

• Have Medicare, Covered-Caifornia, employer‑based insurance, or are uninsured

• Do not qualify for Medi‑Cal or still have high out‑of‑pocket costs

• Live in the South Bay area of Los Angeles County

• Are struggling to pay medical, hospital, or prescription bills

You do not need to have a chronic illness to qualify.

What HAP Helps Pay For

We may be able to help with:

• Medication costs (including brand‑name and specialty prescriptions)

• Eye prescriptions and vision‑related medications

• Hospital and ER visit bills

• Urgent care visits

• Surgery costs (inpatient and outpatient)

• Outpatient procedures, diagnostic tests, and imaging (X‑rays, CT, MRI, lab work, etc.)

• Doctor visit co‑pays, co‑insurance, and deductibles

• Insurance premiums and other health‑related costs on a case‑by‑case basis

Our goal is to provide some financial relief with medical bills to help support your financial well being. ​

How the Program Works

1. Simple screening

   • Call our office or complete the short referral/registration form below.

   • We review your income, household size, and medical needs to see if you qualify.

2. Financial assistance

   • If eligible, HAP can pay some or all of your approved medical and prescription costs, up to program limits.

   • We prioritize urgent needs, recent bills, and situations where a bill is preventing you from getting care.

3. Enrollment and coverage help

   • We help you apply for affordable coverage such as Medi‑Cal, Covered California, and prescription assistance programs.

   • Our team works with you to lower your ongoing costs, not just one bill.

We work directly with clients, caseworkers, clinics, hospitals, and pharmacies whenever possible.
