Access to quality health care for every eligible child and adult

Background

Access to quality health care for every eligible child and adult is a fundamental goal of the Department of Human Assistance.

County Medically Indigent Services Program (CMISP)

The CMISP program provides medically necessary care to all eligible indigents who are residents of Sacramento County.

All recipients of General Assistance (GA) are automatically eligible for CMISP Clinic Services. Other persons who need to apply for CMISP may do so at the time they request medical services.

Medi-Cal and Healthy Families programs

The Medi-Cal and Healthy Families programs provide no-cost or low-cost health insurance for adults who are aged (65 years or older), blind, disabled, pregnant, or in a long-term facility; for children who are under 21 years of age; or for families with children who receive CalWORKs and/or are deprived of support or care because at least one of their parents is unemployed/underemployed, absent, deceased, or incapacitated.

(916) 874-3100 or (209) 744-0499 (for those in 209 area code)

Services provided by the Medi-Cal Service Center are for cases managed by Sacramento County only.

If you are receiving only Medi-Cal benefits from the Department of Human Assistance, you will not have to come to the Medi-Cal Office anymore. Just call the Medi-Cal Service Center with all your Medi-Cal needs. Anyone who answers the Medi-Cal Service Center line can help you immediately.

If you are receiving CalWORKs, please contact your CalWORKs worker to resolve your issue.

The Medi-Cal Service Center is available to assist Medi-Cal only clients.
