The County Medical Services Program (CMSP) was established in 1982 to provide medical and dental coverage to individuals aged 21-64 that are not eligible for Medi-Cal. The medical benefits CMSP clients receive include many of those covered by Medi-Cal, with the exception of pregnancy-related services, long-term care, and services provided by chiropractors, acupuncturists, and psychologists.

CMSP Eligibility is limited to County residents with net non-exempt income at or below the 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. CMSP eligibility is also limited to single people with $2000 or less in countable property or couples with $3000 or less in countable property. Contact the County if you have questions about what is exempt and what is countable for income and property.

Applications are accepted during business hours at our main Eureka office at 929 Koster Street or the outstations located in Garberville at 727 Cedar Street or in Hoopa at 1200 Airport Road (office is located at the K'IMA:W Medical Center). An applicant is evaluated for Medi-Cal before being evaluated for CMSP, because a person cannot get CMSP if they are eligible for Medi-Cal. You may choose to be interviewed or to complete the entire process by mail. You can request an application by calling (707) 268-3471 at any time.
