Kern Family Health Care was chosen by more Healthy Families Program members in Kern County than any other health plan in 2009!

How the Plan Works

  • Each member chooses a Primary Care Provider (PCP) listed in our Provider Directory. This doctor will help with all of your child’s health care needs.
  • Each time your child needs health services, you make an appointment with the PCP you choose and present your child’s KFHC ID card.
  • If your child needs specialty care, KFHC will refer you to a KFHC specialist.
  • Prescription drugs are covered. Visit any pharmacy listed in our Provider Directory and show your child’s KFHC ID card.
