Why Choose Ventura County Health Care Plan?

Our Health Plan was developed specifically for the residents of Ventura County and is the only plan to be designated the "Community Provider Plan". This means your premium cost will be lower if you select VCHCP.

How the Plan Works

• You take your child to the primary care or specialist doctor of your choice.
• Your primary care physician is not required to obtain prior approval from the health plan in order for you to obtain specialist services.
• You will receive a Healthy Families Member ID Card for medical services and prescriptions.
• Your child's primary care doctor is the best one to arrange for specialist and hospital care when necessary.
• Female members can see an OB/GYN doctor without having to be referred by their primary care doctor.
• Prescription drugs are available from most pharmacies in your community, including Long's, CVS, Rite Aid, Medicine Shoppe, Costco, Vons, K-Mart, and many neighborhood pharmacies.
• Wherever you live in Ventura County, we have 24-hour urgent care and emergency facilities close by.
• Emergency follow-up care will be provided by your child's primary care doctor.
• You can call one of our Member Services representatives any time you have questions.
