Healthcare Access Program (HAP)

The County of Santa Clara Health System (CSCHS) is committed to providing quality medical services regardless of a patient’s ability to pay.

Our Healthcare Access Program (HAP) offers emergency and other medically necessary services and supplies at low or no cost to qualified patients. Both uninsured patients and insured patients with high out-of-pocket medical expenses may qualify. Applicants will also be screened for Medi-Cal, Medi-Cal presumptive eligibility, Covered California, and other public healthcare coverage programs.

A patient may be eligible for the HAP if they have family income below 650% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) AND fit into one of the following categories:

  1. The patient does not have health insurance (or another third-party source of payment for medically necessary services or supplies); OR
  2. The patient has health insurance but has incurred annual out-of-pocket costs at CSCHS that are higher than 10% of the patient’s current family income or family income over the past 12 months, whichever is lower; OR
  3. The patient has health insurance but they and/or their family members have paid annual out-of-pocket medical expenses that are higher than 10% of the patient’s family income.

A patient who meets one of the above categories and whose family income is at or below 400% of the FPL is eligible for 100% discounted medically necessary services or supplies. A patient who is a Santa Clara County resident and whose family income is above 400% but below 450%, 550%, or 650% of the FPL is eligible for discounts of 70%, 50%, or 25%, respectively.
