• California Drug Savings Card — You and your family have access to this California-wide Prescription Assistance Program (PAP). All Californians are eligible to get pharmacy discounts that may provide savings on prescriptions not covered by your health insurance or Medicare Part D. The program may also be used instead of your insurance coverage when it offers greater savings than your copay, which is the case more often than you think!
• Medi-Cal — Medi-Cal is California's Medicaid program which provides health care services for low-income individuals including families with children, seniors, persons with disabilities, foster care, pregnant women, and low-income people with specific diseases such as tuberculosis, breast cancer or HIV/AIDS.
• MCAP — MCAP provides pregnant women with comprehensive coverage for a low cost with no copayments or deductibles for its covered services. MCAP is for middle-income families who do not have health insurance and whose income is too high for no-cost Medi-Cal.
• Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) — California families with uninsured children can receive health insurance through CHIP. To qualify, a child must be age 18 or younger, a California resident and a U.S citizen or legal permanent resident.
