Medi-Cal

The eligibility information below will give you an idea of whether you may be eligible to receive Medi-Cal coverage. However, eligibility for Medi-Cal can only be fully evaluated by an Eligibility Worker. When you apply, your Eligibility Worker will explain the requirements that apply to your situation.

ELIGIBILITY

Eligibility for Medi-Cal is based on a number of factors:
Tax Household, income, citizenship/residency status, and in some cases property. Your income cannot make you ineligible for Medi-Cal, but you may have a share of cost. A share of cost is an amount that you pay before Medi-Cal pays for medical expenses.

There are Medi-Cal Programs that may eliminate your share of cost. Your worker will determine whether you qualify for these programs.

In some cases real and personal property that you own must be within program limits, but the home that you live in is exempt.

Individuals without satisfactory immigration status may qualify for Medi-Cal coverage limited to emergency and pregnancy related services.

Individuals with one of the following specific health care needs may qualify for a special Medi-Cal Program: Dialysis, Tuberculosis services, TPN (intravenous, nutrition) services, certain services for minors and nursing facility coverage.
