Local doctors, dentists, counselors, pharmacies, hospitals, and labs furnish free or pre-negotiated low cost services to clients referred by People Helping People.  Often times, clients and PHP share discounted costs and clients may pay their share of costs to PHP or the provider on an installment plan.

Children’s Dental Fund

According to the California Department of Health, dental disease is the greatest unmet health need in the State.

Five local dentists, including Dr. Williams Turk pictured above, donate more than $20,000 in dental treatments each year to children referred by PHP.  PHP and the dentists have a predetermined fee scheduled based upon 50% of average insurance reimbursement rates.  PHP qualifies families, pre-approves services and schedules appointments for children from families earning up to 250% of federal poverty standards. Families pay an $8 appointment fee to PHP and then 50%-100% of the dentist’s fees in 12 installments determined on a sliding scale based upon income.

Insurance Enrollment

(MediCal/Healthy Families/Healthy Kids Eligibility and Insurance)
PHP conducts ongoing outreach to identify and enroll families in these State sponsored medical and dental health insurance programs. Income standards for these programs are established by the State and vary with family size.
