Medical Care

PHP’s CHART (Community Health Access Resource Team) services program furnishes a complete range of medical care to low income individuals who are uninsured and not served by public programs. PHP Family Service Coordinators who are all Certified Application Assistants screen clients for eligibility for MediCal or other insurance programs. Those who qualify for insurance are helped with application submittals and referred to participating health care providers. For those who do not qualify and cannot be referred to public programs, services are arranged to be provided free of charge or at low cost by local volunteer professionals. Local doctors, pharmacies, and labs; furnish free and/or discounted services to PHP clients. PHP staff helps to arrange appointments to participating providers and may provide transportation when alternative transportation is not available.

To qualify for medical assistance individuals and families must have a household income at or below 250% of Federal poverty level (click here for income eligibility table) or be experiencing a current financial crisis. To request further information or to make an appointment, contact PHP’s Family Service Advocate at the Family Resource Center at your child’s school.

MediCal Enrollment & Renewal

There is no longer a need to travel to Santa Maria or Lompoc to enroll or renew. PHP is a Certified Enrollment Entity and staff members are Certified Enrollment Counselors. We can enroll and renew qualified applicants in MediCal at any of PHP’s local Family Resource Centers. Enrollment requires documentation of household income which must be at or below 138% of Federal Poverty level. For Income Eligibility for MediCal, click here. Each person in an income qualifying household may be enrolled in MediCal as long as they have documentation of legal U.S. residency. NOTE: Not all household members need to be documented residents in order for the other income qualified and documented residents to qualify for assistance.

To enroll in or renew MediCal, you may contact PHP’s Family Service Advocate at the Family Resource Center at your child’s school.
