Frequently Asked Questions

The Medical Safety Net (MSN, formerly the MSI program) is Orange County’s safety-net program for lawful Orange County residents between the ages of 19 and 64 with income from 138% up to 200% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) who do not have any other health coverage to pay for their urgent medical needs. The MSN Program delivers care through a partnership between the County of Orange and the private medical community. MSN provides for services that are medically necessary to protect life, prevent significant disability, or prevent the serious deterioration of health. The Medical Safety Net Program does not provide comprehensive health coverage, primary, or preventive care. Most individuals who meet the eligibility criteria for the MSN Program qualify for financial assistance to purchase comprehensive, commercial health coverage through Covered California – California’s online health insurance marketplace. Please contact Covered California at 800-300-1506 for more information on available plans and the next open enrollment period. MSN Website.
