The Hemostasis and Thrombosis Center cares for patients with different types of insurance. This includes commercial, state and federal insurance. Learn more about insurance agreements that are accepted at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.
- Healthy Families
- Medi-Cal
- California Children’s Services (CCS)
- Genetically Handicapped Persons Program (GHPP)
A child’s diagnosis and family income is one of the qualifications for CCS. An adult's diagnosis and personal income is one of the qualifications for GHPP.
When a patient has a primary and secondary (supplemental) insurance usually most, if not all, of their medical costs are covered. But sometimes a patient or their family will have to pay part of the medical costs based on how much money they make.
For patients who cannot get state or federal insurance, the Healthcare Reform Act allows people with pre-existing conditions apply to get commercial insurance.
Under Age 21
Many of our patients under age of 21 have Medi-Cal or Healthy Families insurance as well as California Children’s Services (CCS). For these patients, Medi-Cal or Healthy Families act as their main insurance. CCS is used as a secondary (supplemental insurance) for a specific health condition, such as hemophilia or von Willebrand Disease.
Age 21 and Older
Patients who are 21 and older need to apply for the adult version of CCS, Genetically Handicapped Persons Program (GHPP).
