Service Area: Clinics - ATP or Free Care
Funding Sources Specialization
Service Description: The following information
discusses how to access and apply for free and
low cost health care through the Ability to Pay
(ATP) and Pre-Payment Program (PPP). Also,
attached is a list of the County Hospitals,
Comprehensive Health Centers, a list of the
county and private clinics, whether they take
Medi-Cal, ATP, or PPP, and the medical services
that they provide.
More information can be obtained through the
Inter Net www.peoplesguide.org. Which has a lot
of general information on services throughout
L.A. County. Information on our of state services
can be obtained through the web site for the
American Public Human Service Association at
www. aphsa.org.
In an emergency, it is a legal and ethical duty for
every clinic or hospital emergency room to provide
emergency care regardless of immigration status or
ability to pay. Many private hospitals plan ways to
avoid this obligation, but you can get urgent help by
asking persistently. Emergency rooms also must
arrange for translators if necessary.
Ability to Pay (ATP) and Free Care The County provides free or low-cost health services to anyone, including low-income people who are not eligible
for Medi-Cal or who have medical expenses that Medi-Cal, Medicare, and private insurance will not fully cover. One
plan is called the Prepayment/ATP (“Ability to Pay”) plan.
21
Service Area: Clinics - ATP or Free Care
Funding Sources Specialization
Ability to Pay (ATP) and Free Care – continued The county has also contracted with clinics called
“partners” who have to provide free care for you if you meet the ATP standards. If you are on GR you should automatically qualify. If you qualify for free care, you
cannot be forced to pay any fee by a county clinic or hospital. You should receive the same quality of care as
those who pay
How Do I Use Free Care of ATP? For clinic care, you must apply every six months. The screener will figure out what you must pay, if anything, for each visit. You can get free clinic care if your total net adjusted monthly income after deductions is below the following:
Family Size Net Income
1 $901 2 $1001 3 $1201
4 $1401 5 $1601
6 $1701
For hospital care, you must apply each time you are admitted to a county hospital. Your application may be used for a stay of up to 30 days. If you are hospitalized longer, you must complete another application. You can get free hospital care if your total net adjusted monthly income after deductions is below the following:
Family Size Net Income
1 $616 2 $766 3 $951 4 $1116 5 $1276 6 $1431
If your monthly income is higher than those shown on the tables, you will have to pay some money for services. The higher your income is, the more you will have to pay.
22
Service Area: Clinics - ATP or Free Care
Funding Sources Specialization
How Do I Apply? To apply for ATP, you must make an appointment for a financial screening at a county hospital or clinic that has an ATP worker. For free care at “partner” clinics, you see the screener at that clinic. (See County Health Care Facilities).
At those clinics, you can sign a simple form called a “Certificate of Indigency” if you qualify for free care, and it is good for 6 months. Sometimes you will be able to be seen the dame day, but may have to wait. Be sure to tell the worker if your need for care is urgent. You do not have to wait for your financial screening to get care. If you qualify for Medi-Cal, you will be asked to apply for benefits and provide proof that you are not eligible or are only eligible for restricted benefits before an ATP application will be taken. Be very firm about your right to apply for free care and be sure to ask for ATP at County or “partner” facilities. If it is your first visit to that hospital or clinic, they should give you a written notice regarding available plans, including ATP, to reduce the cost of your medical care. If you do not receive this notice at your first visit, ask for one. If the worker or the clinic screener you see tells you that you do not qualify for ATP or free care and you do not agree, ask to meet with the worker’s supervisor within 10 working days. If you were found ineligible once, you may reapply. If you are unable to keep your appointment, call the ATP worker immediately or you may be billed for the full cost of any treatment you have already received. Even if you do not qualify for ATP, you still have a chance to pay a low-cost fee for the services within 7 days.

Service Area: Clinics - ATP or Free Care
Funding Sources Specialization
Pre-Payment Plan If you don’t qualify for completely free care, you can still get low cost health care through the ATP-Prepayment plan. You do not have to prove your income, family size, or resources if you pay the following standard fees within seven days of treatment. Remember that, if you do not pay these fees, you will be billed for the amount:
• $30 at all County Comprehensive Care Centers and Public Health Centers; for prenatal visits, the first seven cost $30 and remaining visits are free.
• $40 at all County Hospital Outpatient Clinics; for prenatal visits, the first seven cost $30 each and remaining visits are free.
• $45 at County Comprehensive Health Urgicenters.
• $60 at County Hospital Emergency Rooms. Most County Clinic “Partners” also charge on a sliding scale for those patients who don’t qualify for free care.
What Else Should I Know? If you have any questions about your care, need referrals, or have a complaint, call the County Health Line: 1-800-427-8700. You can also call the Health Consumer Center: 1-800-896-3203, on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or Friday between 9:00 am and 4:30 pm. If you get free clinic care, you receive free medicines. If you receive clinic care at low cost, you receive “critical medicines” at no extra cost. Non-citizens with restricted Medi-Cal coverage can apply for ATP to cover non-emergency care. Before using ATP, you must use any other medical benefits you have such as private insurance, or outpatient Medicare. ATP will cover your
deductible for private insurance but will not cover inpatient Medicare deductibles and Medi-Cal “share of cost”.
