Healthy Way LA
Healthy Way LA (HWLA) is a free public health care program available to underinsured or uninsured, low-income residents of Los Angeles (LA) County. The program is a Low Income Health Program (LIHP) approved under the 1115 Waiver.〔California department of health care services. (n.d.). Low Income Health Program. Retrieved from ()〕 HWLA helps to narrow the large gap in access to health care among low-income populations by extending health care insurance to uninsured LA County residents living at 0 percent to 133 percent of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL).〔Healthy Way LA Los Angeles County. (2011). HWLA Matched Enrollment and Eligibility. Retrieved from ()〕 Individuals eligible for HWLA are assigned to a medical home within the LA County Department of Health Services (LADHS) or its partners, thus gaining access to continuous primary care, preventive and specialty services, mental health services, and other support systems.〔Los Angeles County Health Services. (n.d.). Healthy Way LA. Retrieved from ()〕 Currently, HWLA is one of the few sources of coordinated health care for disadvantaged adults without dependents in LA County.
==History==
California’s LIHP is a health care coverage program for low-income, uninsured adults. The program began in 2010 and is an extension of the original 2007 Coverage Initiative from the previous Section 1115 Medicaid Waiver.〔(Low Income Health Program (LIHP). (2012). Retrieved from )〕〔(Expanding coverage: Low income health program. (2013) Retrieved from )〕 LIHPs operate at the local level and are administered by the LADHS.6 As the country awaits the full implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) in 2014, LIHPs in California assist counties in providing insurance for their uninsured population.〔Cross, J.

HWLA is the local LIHP for those eligible in LA County.〔Cross, J. (2011, November 17). Transitioning ryan white clients to healthy way la. Retrieved from ()〕 It began enrollment in 2007 in accordance with the terms of the previous Section 1115 Medicaid Waiver, as part of the “Coverage Initiative” for low-income uninsured adults.〔Healthy way la infrastructure components and workflow. (2008, June 23). Retrieved from ()〕 HWLA provides health care coverage expansion to uninsured individuals and attempts to stabilize safety net provider systems.〔Cross, J. (2011, November 17). Transitioning ryan white clients to healthy way la. Retrieved from ()〕 With the insurance mandate included in the PPACA, HWLA is scheduled to end upon the implementation of the PPACA in 2014.〔Cross, J. (2011, November 17).

HWLA and other LIHPs receive funding from California’s “Bridge to Reform” Section 1115 Medicaid Demonstration Waiver. The waiver produces up to $7.7 billion in federal matching funds for Medicaid available over 5 years.〔Kaiser commission on medicaid and the uninsured. (2011, October). Retrieved from ()〕 LIHPs have two program components: the Medicaid Coverage Expansion (MCE) and the Health Care Coverage Initiative (HCCI). Each county has the option of either choosing to cover only MCE individuals who are below 133 percent of FPL or both MCE and HCCI adults who have family incomes between 133 percent and 200 percent of FPL (or a lower limit determined by the county).8 When the PPACA’s health care coverage expansions come into effect, MCE adults will transition to Medicaid with 100 percent of federal matching. Most HCCI adults will be covered under Covered California, the State’s Health Benefit Exchange.〔Kaiser commission on medicaid and the uninsured. (2011, October).
