Program Overview

GHPP provides health coverage for Californians 21 years of age and

older who have specific genetic diseases including cystic fibrosis,

hemophilia, sickle cell disease, and certain neurological and

metabolic diseases. GHPP also serves children under the age of 21

with GHPP-eligible medical conditions who are not financially

eligible for CCS. The program is administered statewide through the

GHPP office in Sacramento.

Although there are no maximum income eligibility requirements,

families with adjusted gross income (AGI) exceeding 200 percent of

the federal income guidelines pay an enrollment fee and treatment

costs based on a sliding fee scale for family size and income.
