The Eligibility On Site (EOS) program provides participating facilities with on-site Medi-Cal certification options on a full- or part-time basis. Eligible patients can be interviewed and enrolled on-site, either before treatment or after discharge, cutting red tape and securing appropriate reimbursements much more quickly. EOS now outstations 49 eligibility specialists at 58 provider locations in Los Angeles and Orange counties.

How the Program Works

The county eligibility specialist takes and processes all Medi-Cal applications on site at the contracted provider facility. The contracted provider screens and refers potentially eligible patients to the county. HASC interfaces with county management on behalf of providers to ensure EOS is effective.

Program Cost

Providers pay HASC management fees per assigned county staff. Providers are invoiced quarterly in advance and payment is due within 15 days.
