Hi there, I’m a resident of LA county.
Just would like to apply personally as a first time client/member to be, also as part of the lower income bracket, single.
Can you help, guide and walk me through different health plan option that best suits me?…
I hope to get a good, decent and best health plan for me. I am just so confused and don’t know where to start and who to contact to in all of these insurance buying/canvassing and decide what works best for me, of course with a budget friendly plan, because I’m not getting any younger too.
I need to take big, smart decisions in investing my money and health to the right and beneficial health insurance, because I believe that this health matter is long overdue and I need the right people to help me.
I hope to hear a favorable response from you soon. Thank you. 🙏🏽🙌🏼😌🤞🏽

I saw a commercial for LA CARE, there offering new subsidized help being offered by the state of California?
Do I qualify for that?
The Federal Government offers subsidies up to 400% of Federal Poverty Level FPL. California now offers up to 600% of FPL
Here’s a FPL Income chart
The best way to find out, is just get an instant quote and subsidy calculation, no obligation.
If this plan only has 30 days for long term or substance abuse care, which plan has a 60 day of care?
This question is again beyond our pay grade. Check with the facility that you wish to go to.
Check our webpage on drug abuse.
1st thing, let’s check the 2020 Guide & Handbook
I’m sorry, but your question on 30 or 60 days coverage is beyond our pay grade… Check page 32 of the member handbook and have your facility check with LA Care.
