DHCS Launches New Medi-Cal website for members

 

The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) launched a new online experience at my.medi-cal.ca.gov to help current Medi-Cal members and potential new members quickly find the information they need about Medi-Cal. These accessible and mobile-friendly pages are written in clear, plain language and supported in multiple languages to better serve California’s diverse communities

 

Medi-Cal renewal is ongoing.  If your local Medi-Cal office sends you a renewal form in a yellow envelope or asks for more information, please respond immediately. Otherwise, you and your family may lose your health coverage. You can expect to receive their renewal packet two months before your renewal due date.

Even if you don't think you're eligible, complete the Medi-Cal renewal form.  Medi-Cal income limits are different for kids. They may qualify even if the adults in the house do not.
