Frequently asked questions

How many medicaid resources are available in California?

OneClickMentalHealth lists verified medicaid resources across California. The full count and current listings are shown above. New providers are added and verified on an ongoing basis.

Are these medicaid services free?

Most listings on OneClickMentalHealth are free or low-cost. Each resource page shows pricing or fee structure when known. Many providers offer sliding-scale fees based on income, accept Medicaid, or are funded by federal, state, or county programs.

How do I know if I'm eligible?

Eligibility varies by provider — common factors include income, insurance, residency, age, and the type of service needed. Call the listed phone number; most intake staff can tell you in a few minutes whether you qualify and what to bring.

What if I'm in crisis right now?

If you or someone you love is in immediate danger, call 911. For mental health emergencies, call or text 988 — the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — for free, 24/7, confidential support in English and Spanish (Spanish: press 2). Veterans can press 1.

Do these services accept insurance or Medicaid?

Many do. Open any resource page to see accepted insurance plans when reported, or call to confirm. If you don't have insurance, ask about sliding-scale fees, charity care, or county-funded programs — many providers serve uninsured patients.
