Private Health Insurance vs. Public Health Insurance

Private health insurance can be offered through an employer or can be purchased by individuals. If you are employed, you will have options provided by your employer and can apply or make changes during the annual open enrollment period. Public health insurance is insurance that is subsidized or paid for entirely by public (government) funds (MediCal).

If you are not employed, then you can always apply for public health insurance, MediCal at www.coveredca.com.

If you have any questions regarding private or public health insurance such as MediCal, GHPP and/or CCS, please contact the office at (626)765-6656 or email us at omar@hemosocal.org.
