Affordable & Accessible Medication Support at CCHC
Getting medications can sometimes be a challenge. At Comprehensive Community Health Centers (CCHC), we make it a priority to help patients overcome any barriers that may prevent them from obtaining or taking the prescriptions that support their health. Our providers prescribe all necessary medications, and our care teams work closely with partner pharmacies to ensure you can access them safely, affordably, and without unnecessary stress.
As a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), we proudly support patients throughout Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley—whether you have insurance or not. Our staff members speak English, Spanish, Armenian, and additional languages to ensure every patient understands their treatment plan and how to take their medications correctly.

Insurance, Coverage & Referral Limitations
Please note that insurance plans may limit the pharmacy locations available for prescription pickup. While CCHC strives to consider convenience for our patients, the final decision is often determined by your insurance provider – not CCHC.
We encourage patients to contact their insurance carrier if they wish to explore different pharmacy options. CCHC may contact your plan as a courtesy when time permits, but this is not an obligation. Regardless of your coverage or financial situation, our team is always here to guide you and help point you in the right direction.
