Worksite Wellness LA’s (WWLA) Healthcare Access project focuses on Medi-Cal enrollments in Los Angeles for newly arrived immigrants and refugees. WWLA Certified Enrollment Counselors help these newly resettled families complete Medi-Cal applications, for which they typically qualify. Once full-scope Medi-Cal is obtained, WWLA helps immigrants adapt to their newly gained coverage, which includes primary care, dental care, behavioral health, prescription drugs, medical supplies, and more.

Healthcare Access: Medi-Cal Redetermination Project
Worksite Wellness LA's (WWLA) Healthcare Access project will support and focus on Medi-Cal health plan retention - as well as new-member enrollments. In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. Congress instituted a continuous coverage policy for all programs, like Medi-Cal, whereby annual re-enrollment requirements were suspended. Now, three years later as discontinuances began on June 1, 2023, placing many Medi-cal recipients at risk, it is crucial for low income and immigrant Medi-Cal members, to re-enroll.
