Health Care

Medi-Cal is the name for the Federal Medicaid Program in California. If you have limited income, the Medi-Cal Program provides comprehensive health coverage to you and your family for free or low-cost. If you need health benefits, you can apply for Medi-Cal anytime throughout the year online or through Covered California.

a new law in California allows adults aged 26-49, regardless of immigration status, to qualify for full-scope Medi-Cal, that includes: Doctor Visits, Hospitalization, Prescription, and preventive care. With full-scope Medi-Cal, aged, blind, and disabled individuals can apply for the In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) program. IHSS provides in-home assistance as an alternative to out-of-home care and enables recipients to remain safely in their own homes. Apply for Medi-Cal now at BenefitsCal.com." />

Medi-Cal provides comprehensive health coverage for children and families. Depending on income and family size, you and your family may be eligible to free or low-cost Medi-Cal.

If you are pregnant, Medi-Cal may provide you with free or low-cost health care coverage during your pregnancy.

If you reside in a nursing home (also known as long-term care facility) or need nursing home care, Medi-Cal could pay for all or part of the care and services you receive.

The Medi-Cal program must seek repayment from the estates of certain deceased Medi-Cal beneficiaries. Repayment only applies to benefits received by these beneficiaries on or after their 55th birthday and those who owned assets at the time of death. If a deceased beneficiary owns nothing when they die, nothing will be owed.
