Medi-Cal
What is Medi-Cal?
Medi-Cal is a no-cost or low-cost public health insurance program that provides needed health care services for low-income individuals and families in California.
Individuals and families who meet particular eligibility requirements, such as California residency, income and property (in certain circumstances), are potentially eligible for no-cost or low-cost Medi-Cal benefits. Applicants who meet income and other eligibility requirements can receive Medi-Cal regardless of age, gender, disability, or household composition. If you are a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident, you may qualify for full Medi-Cal benefits regardless of age. You may also qualify for full Medi-Cal benefits regardless of immigration status if you are under the age of 26 years old or, as of May 1, 2022, over the age of 50 years old.
