Company History
On August 1, 1995, the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors established the Santa Clara County Health Authority. As a public agency, separate and distinct from the county, the Health Authority was charged with providing quality medical care to Medi-Cal recipients in Santa Clara County. Subsequently in 1997, the Health Authority created Santa Clara Family Health Plan, as the community-based health plan in the new Medi-Cal managed care environment.
Santa Clara County is the first county in the nation to commit to providing health coverage for its estimated 71,000 uninsured children. Through a groundbreaking comprehensive health insurance package and aggressive outreach program called the Children's Health Initiative, more than 90,000 of those uninsured children have applied for coverage since the program's inception in 2001, and the rate of applications remains steady, showing the great need for children's health insurance in the State's fourth largest county.
The Children's Health Initiative (CHI) reaches out to uninsured children through three health plans: Medi-Cal, Healthy Families and the new Healthy Kids program.
In December 2006, we launched our newest product, Health Generations, with delivers Medicare to seniors and the disabled by means of an innovative, comprehensive managed care service.
