Riverside
County
developed
the
Medically
Indigent
Services
Program
(MISP)
in 1983
to provide
assistance
for
the
health
needs
of adults
between
the
ages
of 21
and
64 years. This
program
was
designed
to cover
acute
illnesses
and
medical
care
to prevent
disability. The
goal
of the
program
is to
reduce
costly
hospitalization
and
increase
the
ability
to work.
MISP
is
not
an
insurance. It
is
to
meet
the
immediate
needs
of
adults
who
suffer
traumas
or
have
other
emergent
needs. Although
the
provision
of
indigent
medical
services
is
mandated
by
the
State
of
California,
the
Riverside
County
Board
of
Supervisors
directs
the
eligibility
criteria
and
scope
of
services
covered.
