These premiums are not taxable on the federal return but I have not yet found a California reference.
My guess is that if the programs are mandatory (as HIPP/HIPP programs often are, to reduce state Medicaid costs), that the reimbursed premiums would not be taxable in CA.
Of course, you cannot use this amount as a medical deduction on your return.
