Tulare County Health & Human Services Agency

Tulare County Health & Human Services Agency (HHSA) provides a wide array of services and programs that make it easy to sign up for healthcare coverage. The open enrollment period is November 1 through January 31; you can find out if you're eligible for Medi-Cal, and, if not, decide which ACA plan and options work best for you and your family. Since the enactment of the Affordable Care Act, there has been an increase of 34% of Tulare County residents who have enrolled in Medi-Cal. Medi-Cal provides a core set of health benefits that now includes dental care and expanded mental health and substance abuse disorder services to better meet the needs of eligible individuals. Although ACA open enrollment ends January 31, you can apply for Medi-Cal at any time of the year, not just during open enrollment.
