About Us: What's New: Mayor Newsom Announces Plan To Care For San Francisco’s Uninsured
San Francisco Health Plan Will Administer SF Health Access Program
In a report released June 2006, the Universal Healthcare Council presented its recommendations for the development and implementation of the San Francisco Health Access Program (SF HAP). Unlike the City and County’s previous efforts to serve the uninsured, the HAP is not health insurance – because it is not portable beyond the City and County. Rather, the Health Access Program will provide a primary medical home, allowing a greater focus on preventive care, as well as specialty care, urgent and emergency care, laboratory, inpatient hospitalization, radiology, and pharmaceuticals. It will be administered by the San Francisco Health Plan, the city-sponsored health plan that currently provides care for 50,000 San Franciscans.
SF HAP has a Phase One implementation goal of July 2007.
