We Cover LA County
Health Care LA, IPA (HCLA IPA) is a not-for-profit network of Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and Community Health Centers (CHCs). For more than 30 years, we have been a stable, respected force guiding health centers to better care delivery and patients to better health. Our priority is to drive quality, whole-patient, value-based health care in a way that ensures care access and equity within our diverse, underserved communities.
We address not only members' medical needs but also social determinants like housing, transportation, and resource and food insecurity that impede them from accessing care.
We work with a wide variety of health insurers to encompass coverage for all patient demographics within LA County.
We care for more Medi-Cal beneficiaries than any other Independent Physician Association in the entire state of California.

Network Benefits
HCLA IPA guides and supports our network of health centers to deliver quality, accessible health care by:
Coordinating care and expanding access to specialized programs to improve health and wellbeing.
Removing barriers to care by addressing complex social determinants that impact community health.
Focusing on whole-person care, not just each patient's current medical condition.
Reinvesting in our health center partners by providing new income streams and grants and mobilizing community resources.
This approach greatly expands access, ensures care equity, and advances health and wellness for underserved, at-risk, and vulnerable patient populations.
We Support and Collaborate with Stable Medical Homes
Our partner health centers provide reliable comprehensive, quality primary care within their communities, effectively serving as medical homes. You can think of a medical home like a healthcare supermarket where patients and their families can go—close to their work and home lives—to get the care and services they need to sustain better health. This centralized care is the most critical component of a healthcare safety net and demands expertise, reach, and resources that private physician offices and smaller medical practices cannot supply on their own. Healthcare LA, IPA works on multiple fronts to help by:
Building partnerships with local specialists, hospitals, and community resources, enabling our medical homes to coordinate comprehensive whole-person care.
Leveraging grants and additional funding streams to support program, technological, and operational innovations that improve care access, quality, and efficiency.
Together with our partner health centers, we've built a sustainable medical home model that ensures all of our members in Los Angeles County have access to stable, compassionate, and effective care.
