Medi-Cal Members: Here’s What You Need to Know to Keep Covered
Attention—In April, the state of California started the renewal process for Medi-Cal members. If you have Medi-Cal, you will need to renew your health coverage. Over the next year, all Medi-Cal members will get important updates to avoid losing health coverage. Medi-Cal covers doctor visits, In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS), hospital stays, dental care, well-child, immunizations, prescription drugs, mental health services, and more. To ensure that you keep yourself and your family covered through Medi-Cal, here’s what you need to do:- Make sure your information is up to date
- Look for information in the mail
- Automatic renewal notification: If you receive a notice saying your local Medi-Cal office is able to renew your Medi-Cal automatically, you don’t need to do anything else.
- Renewal form: You will receive a renewal form in a yellow envelope if your local Medi-Cal office cannot automatically renew your Medi-Cal. You must complete this and submit any additional information requested to keep your coverage.
- If you get a renewal package, complete and return it promptly
- Income information
- Proof of identity
- Proof of address
- If you are no longer covered by Medi-Cal
