Chapter 15 — MENTAL HEALTH SERVICE

SEC. 15.23. MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES FOR INDIGENT AND UNINSURED.

San Francisco Administrative Code · 2025 edition · ingested 2026-07-08 · San Francisco

(a) Findings. The City and County of San Francisco is committed to protecting public mental health services for indigent and uninsured mentally ill residents of San Francisco. If timely, effective and coordinated mental health treatment is not provided to indigent and uninsured residents who are not seriously mentally ill, those residents are at risk of becoming seriously mentally ill and hence requiring more expensive and comprehensive mental health care from San Francisco.

(b) Standards. The Department shall provide a single standard of mental health services access and care for indigent and uninsured residents of the City and County of San Francisco and Medi-Cal beneficiaries who are residents of the City and County of San Francisco.
