Reach Out and Read
What is Reach Out and Read?
Reach Out and Read is a national pediatric early literacy program that prepares America's youngest children to succeed in school by partnering with doctors to prescribe books and encourage families to read together. Doctors and nurses are trained to advise parents about the importance of reading aloud and to give new books to children at pediatric well child visits from 6 months through 5 years of age, with a special focus on children growing up in poverty and medically underserved areas.
The Reach Out and Read Model
- Educate parents. In the exam room at each of our pediatric clinics, the pediatrician or nurse practitioner encourages parents to read aloud to their young children and offers age-appropriate tips.
- Gift children with free books. At well-child visits, the pediatrician or nurse practitioner gives every child 6 months through 5 years of age a new, developmentally and culturally-appropriate children's book to take home and keep.
- Volunteers make reading fun! In the waiting room, displays and gently-used books create a literacy-rich environment. Volunteer readers engage the children with books, modeling for the parents the pleasures and techniques of reading aloud.
The Reach Out and Read Program at TCC occurs at: S. Mark Taper Foundation, Vasek Polak, Cesar Chavez Elementary School, and Hamilton Middle School.

3. Uses and Disclosures That Require Your Written Authorization
We will obtain your written authorization before we:
- Use or disclose your PHI for marketing purposes (other than face-to-face communications or gifts of nominal value)
- Sell your PHI
- Use or disclose psychotherapy notes (with limited exceptions permitted by law)

TCC may contact you for fundraising efforts in support of our charitable mission. You have the right to opt out of receiving fundraising communications. To opt out, contact our Privacy Officer by phone at (844) 822-4646, by email, or by writing to the address listed in Section 9, and include "fundraising opt-out" in your request. Opting out will not affect your treatment or payment for services.
5. Substance Use Disorder Records (42 CFR Part 2)
If TCC provides substance use disorder (SUD) services, records of that treatment may be subject to additional federal confidentiality protections under 42 CFR Part 2. Those records generally may not be disclosed without your specific written consent, except in narrow circumstances (medical emergency, qualifying court order, authorized research, audits and evaluations, reports of suspected child abuse). Contact our Privacy Officer if you would like details on how Part 2 protections apply to your records.
6. Minors' Rights Under California Law
California law gives minors additional rights with respect to certain categories of care — including reproductive health, mental health, and substance use services. In those cases, the minor may control access to and disclosure of the related PHI, and TCC may not share that information with a parent or guardian without the minor's consent. Parents, guardians, and minors should ask their care team how these rules apply to specific services.

- Request restrictions — Ask us to limit how we use or share your information. We will say "yes" to a request to restrict disclosure to a health plan if you have paid for the service in full out of pocket.
- Confidential communications — Request that we contact you at a specific phone, address, or email (e.g., at work rather than home).
- Accounting of disclosures — Request a list of certain disclosures of your PHI made in the last six years (excluding routine disclosures for treatment, payment, and health care operations).
- Paper copy of this Notice — Request a paper copy at any time, even if you received the Notice electronically.

Become a New Patient
Welcome to TCC Family Health. Here's how to start care with us.
No one is denied care at TCC based on inability to pay. We accept most insurance plans including Medi-Cal, Medicare, and Covered California. Uninsured patients pay on our sliding fee scale based on income.
Who We Serve
TCC welcomes patients of all ages — from newborns through seniors — regardless of insurance status or income. We are a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) serving Greater Long Beach and surrounding communities since 1939.
How to Become a Patient
- Call us or walk in. Call (844) 822-4646 Monday–Friday to schedule a new-patient visit, or walk into any of our 16 locations during open hours.
- Complete the new-patient intake. You can download and fill out our intake paperwork in advance (English or Spanish), or complete it in-clinic before your first visit. [Draft — link to intake PDF once available.]
- Bring required documents to your first visit (see "What to Bring" below).
- Meet your care team. At your first visit we'll review your history, screen for preventive care needs, and connect you to any additional services you may qualify for (dental, behavioral health, nutrition, legal).
- Set up the myChart patient portal. After your visit you'll get a code to activate myChart to message your provider, request refills, and see lab results.
What to Bring to Your First Visit
- Photo ID (driver's license, passport, consular card, school ID, or any government ID).
- Insurance card if you have coverage (Medi-Cal, Medicare, Covered California, private, PPO/HMO).
- Proof of income if uninsured and applying for our sliding fee scale (pay stub, tax return, or self-declaration form — we'll help).
- List of current medications, including over-the-counter, vitamins, and supplements.
- Prior medical records if available (we can also request them for you).
- For children: immunization records and any school forms that need completion.
What to Expect
Plan for your first visit to take 60–90 minutes. A medical assistant will start by updating your health history, measuring vitals, and reviewing medications. Your provider will then meet with you for a physical exam and to discuss your care plan. If you need services we don't offer on-site, we'll refer or connect you on the spot.
Language Support
Free interpretation is available at every visit. We have in-person staff who speak Spanish, Khmer, Tagalog, and Vietnamese, and a 24/7 phone interpretation service for any other language. Let us know when you schedule which language you prefer.
Accessibility
All TCC health centers are wheelchair accessible. Let us know at scheduling if you need additional accommodations — large-print materials, sign language interpretation, or extra time.
Questions?
Call (844) 822-4646 or email info@tccfamilyhealth.org.
Get Help with Costs
Care you can afford, regardless of insurance or income.
No one is denied care at TCC Family Health due to inability to pay. As a Federally Qualified Health Center, we are required to offer a sliding fee discount program for patients at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level.

How to Apply
- Ask at check-in. Tell any front-desk staff you'd like to apply for the sliding fee program.
- Complete a short application. We'll ask about household size and income. You can bring documentation (pay stubs, tax return, SSA letter) or use our self-declaration form.
- Get your sliding-scale tier. Approvals are typically same-day. Your tier applies for 12 months across all TCC services.

Good Faith Estimate (No Surprises Act)
Your right to know expected charges before care.
Under the federal No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) of expected charges for non-emergency medical services if you are uninsured or choose not to use insurance.
Your Right to a Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining how much your medical care will cost.
- Under the law, health care providers must give patients who do not have insurance — or who are not using insurance — an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
- You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
- Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
- If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
- Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
How to Request a Good Faith Estimate at TCC
Call (844) 822-4646 and ask for a Good Faith Estimate, or request one at check-in for any scheduled service. We'll provide it in writing within the timeframes required by law.
If You Receive a Bill More Than $400 Higher Than Your Estimate
You may be eligible to dispute the bill through the federal Patient-Provider Dispute Resolution process. To start a dispute:
- Initiate the dispute within 120 days of the date on the original bill.
- There is a $25 fee to use the dispute process.
- Visit cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.

Pharmacy & Prescriptions
Affordable medications for TCC patients.
340B Drug Pricing Program
TCC Family Health participates in the federal 340B Drug Pricing Program, which allows us to purchase outpatient medications at significant discounts. We pass these savings on to our patients — especially those who are uninsured, underinsured, or paying on the sliding fee scale — so cost is not a barrier to staying on treatment.
Getting Prescriptions Filled
- On-site pharmacy at select TCC locations for eligible patients. Ask your care team where to pick up.
- 340B contract pharmacies — we partner with community pharmacies that can fill TCC prescriptions at 340B-discounted prices for eligible patients.
- Any pharmacy — TCC prescriptions can be filled at any licensed pharmacy you choose using your insurance.
Refill Requests
The easiest way to request a refill is through myChart. You can also:
- Call your TCC clinic and leave a message for your care team
- Ask your pharmacy to send a refill request to TCC
- Bring your medication bottle to any visit
Please allow 2 business days for refill requests. Controlled substances require an appointment.
Medication Assistance
If a medication your provider prescribes is not affordable, let us know. We can:
- Switch to a lower-cost alternative when clinically appropriate
- Apply to manufacturer patient assistance programs on your behalf
- Connect you with SingleCare, GoodRx, or similar discount programs
- Use our sliding fee scale for on-site pharmacy dispensing
Medication Counseling
Pharmacists are available to review your medications, check for interactions, and answer questions. Ask at check-in or call the pharmacy directly.
Safe Disposal
Bring unused medications to any TCC clinic for safe disposal, or use a drug take-back location at DEA's drug disposal locator.
