About Us
Health Plan of San Mateo (HPSM) is a non-profit, county-organized health system serving a diverse and underserved population in San Mateo County. For over three decades, we’ve been dedicated to ensuring that “healthy is for everyone.” We go beyond just providing medical care — we foster partnerships, social supports, and community programs to improve the overall well-being of our members.
We manage four core health plans tailored to differing needs, including Medi-Cal, Medicare–Medi-Cal (CareAdvantage), in-home care, and specialized local access programs. Our integrated provider network includes primary care, specialists, behavioral health, and dental, so our members have access to comprehensive care
We believe in transparency, local accountability, and community-based governance. All our Commission and committee meetings are open to the public, and we actively reinvest in the community through innovative programs that address not just health, but the social factors that influence it
