Upon enrollment in Healthy San Francisco
IMPORTANT: The chart above is designed to give users an idea of what their Participant Fee, paid four times a year, may be. The exact cost to you to participate in Healthy San Francisco will be determined by the Application Assistor at the time the application is completed.
If after enrolling in the program your income or household size changes, then please contact Healthy San Francisco Customer Service to determine if your Participation Fee should be decreased or increased. For example, the participation fee may decrease based on decreases in income/liquid assets and/or increases in the number of people in your household.
POINT OF SERVICE FEES
In addition to the Participant Fee, some program Participants may pay a Point of Service Fee to their clinic at the time services are received. For example, an additional fee will be paid each time a Participant visits a physician, emergency room, or picks up a prescription. The amount of the Point of Service Fee depends on the Medical Home and household income of the program Participant. If a Participant's income is below a certain amount, that Participant will not pay a Point of Service Fee for most services.
