LOS ANGELES COUNTY RESIDENTS CAN GET NEEDED MEDICAL CARE AT NO-COST OR AT LOW-COST AT LOS ANGELES COUNTY HOSPITALS AND CLINICS .
You do not need to pay in advance, and you must be unable to pay the full cost of your medical care. You must have charges which Medi-Cal, Medicare, private insurance, or other medical benefits won't cover.
Ability to Pay Plan (ATP) and Outpatient Reduced-Cost Simplified Application (ORSA) --Under these plans, you can get medical care, including prenatal and maternity services, at County hospitals and clinics at no-cost or at low-cost. If you get medical care at no cost under ATP/ORSA, you can get medicines at no cost. If you get clinic care at lower cost, you get medicines at no extra cost. Although you can get these plans at any County medical center, you can apply for them only at specified centers.

Child Delivery Plan --This plan covers labor and delivery service for pregnant women at County hospitals. For herself, each mother must pay $2,000 within seven days after she leaves the hospital. For her baby, each mother must apply for Medi-Cal.
Kidney Dialysis, Tuberculosis, and Post Polio Plans --Special low-cost plans cover these services. Apply for them at the center where the treatment is given.
No Extra Cost Medicines --All clinic patients can get medicines at no extra cost for emergency and public health services.
If you are not a County resident, you may still be able to receive a discount on the medical care you receive at County hospitals or hospital-based clinics under the Out-of-County Discount Payment Plan (OOC/DPP) described on the How To Get No-Cost or Low-Cost Medical Care At County Hospitals Flyer.
