What is Medi-Cal?

Asked a year ago
Medi-Cal is a government-sponsored program that provides affordable healthcare coverage for low-income individuals and families in California. Administered by the California Department of Health Care Services, Medi-Cal offers comprehensive medical services, such as doctor visits, hospital care, prescription drugs, and preventive care, to eligible residents. It serves a wide range of individuals, including children, pregnant women, disabled individuals, and seniors. Medi-Cal ensures that individuals who cannot afford private health insurance or do not have access to employer-sponsored coverage have access to necessary healthcare services. The program operates on an income-based eligibility system, so individuals with limited income and few assets may qualify. Through Medi-Cal, Californians gain access to essential healthcare services, promoting health and well-being for those in need.
