Many patients come to Lifelong Medical Care uninsured and are unaware that they are eligible for low- to no-cost medical, vision and dental coverage programs. Programs like: Family PACT, CARE, AIM, CMSP and/or insurances such as Medi-cal, Medicare, Senior HMO's, Healthy Families, Healthy Kids, and Group Care. In order to ensure health services coverage for as many patients as possible and assist people in knowing about these and other programs, the Member Services Department was developed. Member Services Department started seven years ago for Lifelong Medical Care. Each year, Member Services has grown not only in staff, but also in knowledge and in understanding of all the constant changes in health care.

Many communities have clinics that charge little or nothing for dental care. They are usually run by nonprofits, community health centers, dental schools and local health departments, and they often rely on grants, donations and public funding. Some serve everyone on a sliding fee scale, while others focus on children, seniors or people without insurance. Every clinic sets its own rules, so call ahead and ask what you qualify for.
