“Health Net is committed to helping organizations that serve
low-income individuals residing in Los Angeles County,” said
Patricia Clarey, Health Net’s state health plan and regulatory
relations officer.
“We are grateful to Health Net for this grant,” said Mitch Katz,
M.D., director of the Los Angeles County Department of Health
Services. “We expect it will help Los Angeles County residents
better understand the health coverage and service options available
from the many doctors’ offices, clinics, hospitals and federally
qualified health centers within the county.”
“One of the critical measures of our success is the accurate
enrollment of patients into the right programs, and this grant will
help us enhance the training that’s necessary to do so,” said Lynn
Kersey, executive director of MCHA. “Residents are eligible for My
Health LA if they are uninsured, ineligible for publicly funded
health insurance, age 6 and older, have an income at or below 138
percent of the Federal Poverty Level and are a resident of Los
Angeles County.”
