Through this program, MCHA provides one-on-one education and assistance to low income people seeking quality health coverage and access to services. MCHA educates people about health coverage options, helps them enroll in or renew their coverage, and works to ensure they are able to use it with clinics, doctors, hospitals, pharmacies and other access points. The greatest need we serve, however, is troubleshooting, or fixing the health coverage when its not working, when clients must switch health programs, or when they have trouble getting the health care they need. We use this knowledge of health coverage issues people face to engage in broader advocacy to improve health delivery systems. 399811 Health Coverage Training. MCHA is the organization that government agencies and other organizations turn to for accurate and up-to-date information on health care programs. MCHAs trainings help agency staff learn the intricacies of how health care programs are supposed to work and what to do when they don't. This covers enrollment, renewals, and troubleshooting for every available low-income health care program in the county and state. We accept What do I do? calls from clinics, schools, social service agencies and teach how to navigate the most difficult situations imaginable; at times we work the difficult case situations ourselves. 11641 4587143 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 2 0 true 61 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 10 9 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X X X Lynn Kersey 2137494261 350 S Bixel St No 150 Los Angeles CA 90017 Lynn Kersey MA MPH Executive Dir. 60.00 0.00 X X 127458 0 16820 Jody Marasigan Dir. of Finance 40.00 0.00 112605 0 27305 Susan Fogel JD Chairperson 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Gail S Hayek Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Robert Fellmeth JD Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Miller Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Robert Newman JD Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Pat Phillips JD Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Gary Richwald MD MPH Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Stephanie Talavera Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Diane Santana Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 240063 44125 2 false false false 0 4866018 4866018 Training Fees 900099 1500 1500 1500 8 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Other Revenue 900099 26845 26845 26845 4894371 28345 8 0 0 0 0 144278 138506 5772 0 2888880 2824872 60822 3186 185335 177920 7415 529664 518322 11076 266 230507 221286 8990 231 0 0 18000 2945 15055 0 0 0 0 0 0 8396 8396 0 144781 144097 684 20366 18070 2296 0 0 4137 4137 0 0 33520 8182 25338 Subcontractors 186559 186559 Supplies 116091 111361 4730 Telephone 97432 94702 2648 82 Contract services 47775 47775 125864 92546 33237 81 4781585 4587143 190596 3846 48562 106486 4783 0 792319 775967 658 658 0 0 0 0 7946 55778 55311 55311 0 0 0 0 0 0 854268 938889 175065 149129 182483 180254 357548 329383 X -148975 15551 645695 593955 496720 609506 854268 938889 112786 X false true X true false X 4225939 4566658 3965794 5029295 4866018 22653704 0 0 4225939 4566658 3965794 5029295 4866018 22653704 0 22653704 4 13 21 8 46 0 6600 9945 8032 33264 26845 84686 22738436 0.99630 0.99730 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false false false false true 2000 true 250 false true 5000 false false 7250 false false Part II-B, Line 1i - Other Activities Description Advocacy efforts educating the public, including lawmakers, to address improvements in programs affecting low income pregnant women and children, through email and social media alerts, meetings and letters.
