Medi-Cal

Is a state health insurance program for low-income families, seniors, and adults with disabilities. The Medi-Cal program pays for medical, dental, and prescription medicine for eligible recipients. Once eligibility is established by the department, a representative from the Central Coast Alliance for Health, the local managed health care plan, provides eligible recipients with assistance accessing physicians and covered medical services and providers.

To streamline your Medi-Cal renewal process, we recommend utilizing our user-friendly online platform BenefitsCal.
