• Remember: Emergency and hospital care are covered by restricted‑scope Medi-Cal, not Healthy Partners

Healthy Partners provides primary and preventive care at the Sacramento County Health Center.
Healthy Partners is not health insurance.

Services include:

• Primary care
• Basic diagnostic testing
• Preventive care to detect problems early and support overall health
• Limited specialty care (not guaranteed; depends on provider and funding availability)
• Limited advanced diagnostic testing

When specialty care is approved:

• It is short‑term
• Focuses on diagnosis, stabilizing health, and reducing risk of hospitalization

Healthy Partners does not cover:

• Emergency or hospital care (covered by restricted‑scope Medi-Cal)
• Long‑term specialty treatments (for example, chemotherapy or physical therapy)
• Services covered by other programs (Every Woman Counts, Ryan White/HIV, etc.)
