Care Delivery System. We are looking to ready our system to be the provider of choice for our patients, our uninsured parents have not had a wide choice of Health Care Providers but Health Insurance provides them with that choice, we want them to choose us. A recent survey indicated that 60 of lowincome individuals who are uninsured would change their provider if they were given the choice to do so so we are responding to that challenge and integrating the service we offer throughout our Delivery System so we do a better job to coordinate the care our patients need, were working to improve quality and capacity to increase access to care, were enhancing our Patients Experience by shortening waiting times and increasing our efficiency in Customer Service and these are exactly the items that barbara is at the Health Department working on today. Our second role is more citywide in nature and related to our mission to protect and promote the health of all san franciscans, were maximizing en
Uninsured who need the most outreach. San francisco applied for an Education Grant and was not awarded the grant due to our significant process in reaching out to our uninsured, it identified those special populations that are most likely to be uninsured and may require special outreach, young adults are critical to Health Reforms success, younger healthier people are critical to balance out the older who are often sicker and help keep costs down for the whole system and will eventually lower prices overall. Latino and asian adults with a specific focus on chinese adults, information from covered california will be available only in english and spanish and not chinese so this will require a local effort, residents of the southeast corridor and Small Business small proprietors and other businesses, the final is messaging, and this is the simple three step message that weve been saying all along, new opportunities for Health Insurance coverage are coming and we are here to help you.

Demographics, ethnicity, lgbt or not, do you have a sense . We do, and i will 19 thousand 500 of them are largely going to be undocumented residents we anticipate. They may be other people who are not subject to the mandate because of hardship or other reasons but largely undocumented. The 15 thousand 500 will likely be those that are at the highly end of the healthy San Francisco limit, it cares for people up to 500 of poverty and those who are medi cal eligible will be able to apply to medi cal without no cost to thel, so that will be an easy decision, as the income gets higher, the cost sharing gets higher. What percentage will be lgbt . I do not have that percentage. Thank you. Within the department of Public Health, we really have a twofold focus on Health Reform implementation.

Mandate. Eligibility does not equal an enrollment and people will have to actively enroll into Health Insurance to get the coverage they are entitled to, so of the 40 thousand 500 we think are eligible, about 25 thousand will access insurance. This is based on a 62. 5 rate of retention that we currently experience in the healthy San Francisco program, so we have anticipate hated our retention rate which is quite good for our program will translate into Health Insurance enrollment. This leaves about 15 thousand 500 who represent those who may be eligible but do not enroll in Health Insurance. And they might not enroll for any number of reasons, enrollment is complex, they may choose to pay the penalty rather than enroll in insurance, they may choose to pay the penalty rather than enroll in insurance, this group plus the 29 that are not already in sf path are the individuals we will have to focus our outreach efforts on.
