HEALTH INSURANCE INFORMATION
The UCSD Youth HIV Program case managers review all health insurance options for youth including private and public health insurance assistance.
Some options are:
Medi-Cal is California's state and federally funded Medicaid program for low income individuals. If you're under 21, Medi-Cal only counts the money you earn for yourself, not what your parents earn. Medi-Cal services are confidential.
