Ventura County’s Medi-Cal Plan is Making it Easy for Members to Access Prescriptions and Transportation During the Fires
CAMARILLO, Calif., November 9, 2018 – During the fires, Gold Coast Health Plan (GCHP) members can get their prescriptions filled, receive necessary oxygen, and have their transportation needs met.
The Plan, which has nearly 200,000 Medi-Cal members throughout Ventura County, has lifted restrictions on refills so that those who evacuated their homes without their medications can have their prescriptions filled.
