During the season of giving, we think of our client Helena. Helena applied to Medi-Cal on her own, only to find out months later that she was not eligible. Unsure of next steps, she called our office for help. One of our Health Access Specialists took the call and offered her an appointment. During the screening process our staff found out that she had initially been denied due to income and that she had breast cancer. Our Health Access Specialist was able to determine due to a recent change of income, Helena would now be eligible for Medi-Cal and had the case expedited. Two weeks later, the case was granted and Helena was able to get the help she so greatly needed.

Sometimes we find ourselves in need of the help of others. As CHI strives to achieve their vision of healthcare for all, you can be a part of that vision by donating.

Rosa and Gustavo came to us frustrated that no one could help them address their healthcare concerns. They had applied to Medi-Cal but were denied due to having too many assets. Sadly, due to the pandemic, they both lost their jobs and employer-based insurance. Not knowing what to do, they came to CHI. Considering Rosa and Gustavo were 64 years old, our team helped to enroll them in a Gold 80 plan to help cover the costs of their doctor visits and began the conversation on Medicare. They now feel prepared and that they are enrolled in a plan that fits their needs.

As we near the holidays, you can help us by making a donation. The Doctors Company is matching the first of $2,500 donated through the Give Guide so that we can make an even greater impact on the community.

There are times that life poses challenges that we are not always ready for. A new client to CHI, Yosef was looking for health insurance options since his part time job does not offer him coverage. Yosef was recently injured and lost partial vision in his eye. Around the same time of the injury, he found out his wife was pregnant and did not have health insurance coverage either. Jazmin, one of CHI’s Health Access Specialists, assisted Yosef and his wife with applying for Medi-Cal coverage. Due to their situation, Jazmin was able to request that the case be expedited and their coverage was granted within a week.

Families like Yosef depend on CHI. Please consider donating to help make a lasting impact in our community.

Medical bills can be overwhelming to anyone especially if you are on a fixed income. Elizabeth is on Medicare and was receiving a multitude of bills she was not able to afford so she reached out our Health Access Specialist Jose to see if there was another plan that would better suit her needs. Jose reviewed her coverage and discovered that her insurance was not being billed properly. He was able to assist her with contacting the providers to give them the correct insurance information. Her bills were decreased significantly which was a huge relief to Elizabeth!

CHI not only assists with enrolling in health insurance, but our staff help you navigate all aspects of the health care system. Please make a donation to CHI so we can continue to provide the necessary services to our most vulnerable community members.
