Services
The Children’s Clinic, “Serving Children and Their Families,” provides care for the most underserved children, youth, and adults in the community. To be eligible for services, a child or adult must be uninsured, underinsured, or receive Medi-Cal, Healthy Families, Healthy Kids or Medicare. Families may be asked to contribute to their care according to a sliding fee scale, yet no one is refused care due to the inability to pay. TCC is a Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) which has a process and materials that it provides patients and their families on the role of the medical home, which include the following:
- TCC is responsible for coordinating patient care across multiple settings.
- Instructions on obtaining care and clinical advice during office hours and when the office is closed.
- To obtain care and clinical advice during and after office hours, call (562) 933-0400, 24 hours a day/7 days a week.
- TCC functions most effectively as a medical home if patients/families provide a complete medical history and information about care obtained outside of our clinic system.
- TCC Care Teams give patients and their families access to evidence-based care and self-management.
- TCC’s Medical Legal Partnership program provides our patients with access to needed legal services and advocacy.
