Maple Ave., Pasadena, 91103 (626) 256-1600 GETTING FREE OR LOW-COST CARE The County provides free or low-cost health services to people who can show proof that they live in L.A. County including low-income people who are not eligible for Medi-Cal or who have medical expenses that Medi-Cal, Medicare, and private insur- ance will not fully cover. Many people qualify for free care under the "Healthy Way LA" (HWLA) program. If not, you may qualify for free or low cost care under the " Ability To Pay" (ATP) plan. County hospitals and clinics also offer a payment program called "Pre-payment". The county contracts with over 100 community clinics called "Community Partners" who provide free clinic care for you if your income is low (see charts in next column.) If you qualify for free care, you should not be asked to pay any fee by a community clinic, county clinic or hospital. You should receive the same quality of care as those who pay. 1. Do I Qualify for Free Care, under ATP or Healthy Way LA? You can get free hospital and clinic care if you get General Relief, or through HWLA or ATP, if your gross monthly income (after special deductions) is below the following chart: # in Family Income 1 $1274 2 $1720 3 $2165 4 $2611 5 $3056 6 $3502 (As of 2013) If your income is higher than these amounts and you receive care at a County facility you may have to pay a reduced rate for services, depending upon your income. 2. How Do I Apply for HWLA or ATP? HWLA: Apply for HWLA at a county or com- munity partner clinic. If you are a US citizen or a Legal Permanent Resident between the ages of 19 and 64 you may qualify for free care which includes outpatient, specialty, hospital care and medications. If you are an undocumented immigrant or are younger then 19 or over 65 you may still qualify for free care under ATP at a county clinic or Healthy Way LA Unmatched at a community clinic. Note: If you are potentially eligible for Medi-Cal, you may be asked to apply for Medi-Cal first. Healthy Way LA Healthy Way LA (HWLA) is a no cost health program that provides health care coverage to low-income uninsured adult citizens and certain legal residents. You may be eligible for HWLA if: • You are a Los Angeles County resident. • You are between 19 and 64 years of age. • You are not pregnant. • You have no health care coverage • You have been a legal permanent resident for at least 5 years or you are a United States Citizen. (Some other legal residents called "Qualified Immigrants may apply.) • You meet monthly income limits. (see above for income limits)
