Health Care Access

The Health Consumer Center helps people enroll and stay enrolled in public and private health insurance programs. We help hold insurers and health care systems accountable for covering and providing needed medical services, equipment, and medications. And we help clients who are financially harmed by erroneous or unlawful medical bills and medical debt collections.

The Affordable Care Act:

Advocating for your rights and understanding your obligations under the Affordable Care Act and Covered California.

Public Health Insurance:

Addressing problems in obtaining or maintaining Medi-Cal, Denti-Cal, Medicare, In-Home Supportive Services, Paratransit, and county health programs.

Private Health Insurance:

Addressing problems in obtaining or maintaining private health insurance, as well as issues with medical bills, health services, treatment, prescriptions, procedures, and medical transportation.

Through Medical-Legal Partnerships with Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Highland Hospital, we connect with families in the health care setting, helping them pursue legal remedies for issues impacting their health and the health of their children. These can include substandard housing, loss of public assistance, and domestic violence.
