My Health LA (abbreviated MHLA) is a no-cost health care program for low-income Los Angeles County residents, designed to benefit between 400,000 and 700,000 LA County residents who are ineligible for Medi-Cal, most of those being undocumented immigrants. [1] [2]
The program establishes a network of community clinics who provide primary care needs for enrolled patients under the medical home model, with incentives to providers to coordinate care and manage utilization. [3] [4] The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors allocated US$55,000,000 in annual funding to support the program. [5]
The program, which was launched on October 1, 2014, is administered by the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services. [2] MHLA succeeded the County's previous program, Healthy Way LA. As of September 2016, MHLA has enrolled 147,314 patients. [6]
