Caring for California residents for five decades, Medi-Cal is a health care program that provides free or affordable medical coverage for children, adults, and senior citizens who have low incomes and limited resources.
If you or a loved one is eligible for this health care program in California, you can enjoy a range of services in accordance with the Affordable Care Act that enjoins all Medi-Cal plans to provide the essential health benefits, including these general services:
For patients with full Medi-Cal benefits, vision benefits are included.
Available for children and adults, the dental benefits cover the following services:
For an appointment, contact a Med-Cal health care provider, which you can find by checking the online directory of the California Department of Health Care Services website.
Are you wondering who can get Medi-Cal benefits? In general, Medi-Cal is a program that is intended for families with children, adults with low income, pregnant women, people with disabilities, elderly, former foster youth (up to 26 years old), and children in foster care.
But even though you have a house, a spouse, and a job, you may qualify for Medi-Cal services. Before you apply for one, you have to check first if you are eligible. Here are the categories identified as eligible patients under the Medi-Cal program:
For more information regarding your eligibility, you can contact your county eligibility worker.
Looking for information on Medi-Cal application procedures? You can apply personally in the social services office of your county or in a hospital or health clinic where Medi-Cal county eligibility workers are based.
Typically, here are the steps you need to take to apply for the Medi-Cal program:
Contact or visit the social services office of your county to request for sending a Medi-Cal application to your home address. If you have an urgent need or medical emergency, you will have to fill out the form and bring it to the nearest social services office in your county. Inform the office that you are in need of immediate medical attention. Your Medi-Cal application will then be processed as soon as possible.
Make sure you answer all entries and check out the list of required documents for Medi-Cal applications.
This step is applicable to if you have unpaid medical bills within 3 months before you apply for Medi-Cal, and you need funding assistance for those bills. If you have paid the bills already, you can ask for reimbursement.
You can do so personally or via mail to the county social services office.
It may take a maximum of 45 days to process your application. It may take longer (90 days) if your Medi-Cal application is based on disability.
The letter will inform you whether your Medi-Cal application is approved or declined. However, if you have not received a feedback about your application after 45 days, contact the county social services office.
If you need more information regarding Medi-Cal applications, call the social services office in your county.

Diabetes is a growing problem in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, over 29 million Americans have diabetes, and 86 million more are pre-diabetic. Diabetes can lead to a number of health problems, including heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, and blindness. In this blog post, we will discuss some tips on how to reduce your risk of developing diabetes.
The symptoms of diabetes can be difficult to manage. In addition, the disease is becoming more common among ethnic minorities and women in California; this trend should not go unnoticed by healthcare providers!
The major risk factors for heart disease include high blood pressure (hypertension), obesity/weight gain caused primarily through consumption excessive calories which leads into Kidney Failure or Amputations if left unchecked.. One out six adult californians aged 65 plus have type two DM while 2 million adults statewide report having been diagnosed with it making up 1 out 12 citizens here-a serious matter indeed
The California Department of Public Health strives to ensure that all Californians have the opportunity for a healthy life by promoting physical activity, smoking cessation programs and nutritious food options. To achieve this goal they are working on creating statewide networks dedicated towards preventing type 2 diabetes through evidence-based lifestyle change initiatives which include things like increasing exercise or decreasing calories intake among other techniques.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States. Every year, Heart disease kills more people than cancer. That is why it is so important to learn how to keep your heart healthy. There are many things that you can do to reduce your risk of heart disease, including eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. In this blog post, we will discuss some tips for preventing heart disease.
The sad reality is that one out of three California residents will die from cardiovascular disease. In 2014, there were 78 000 deaths due to CVD in the state which makes it a major cause for concern among public health officials who are working hard on many initiatives and activities designed specifically towards improving this alarming statistic.
Here are some tips on how to remain heart healthy and prevent a number of health conditions.
To reduce your risk of heart disease, it’s important to stay active and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Maintaining an exercise routine is one way you can do this! The American Heart Association recommends at least 150 minutes per week (or 60 minute sessions 3-5 times each) spent doing something like walking or cycling every day with additional time reserved for outdoor activities such as taking walks outside work hours when possible.
This will help keep blood flowing properly while also lowering stress levels which have been linked to increased inflammation within our bodies—a major trigger behind chronic illnesses including cancer along side other diseases from diabetes.
Heart disease is a serious problem in the United States, but it is preventable. By following the tips listed above, you can reduce your risk of developing heart disease. If you have any questions about how to prevent heart disease, please speak with your doctor or healthcare provider. Thanks for reading!

If you are a resident of California, it is important to be aware of the healthcare coverage options available to you. In this blog post, we will provide a comprehensive overview of the different types of coverage available in the Golden State. We will also discuss the eligibility requirements for each type of coverage, and highlight some of the benefits and drawbacks of each option. So whether you are uninsured and looking for coverage, or you are simply trying to learn more about your options, this blog post is for you!
California has three main types of healthcare coverage. They are private insurance plans, government-sponsored programs like Medicare and Medi-Cal as well as HMOs or “health maintenance organizations” which provide preventive care at low cost but limit access to emergency services unless you pay extra for them
The following list includes all these options along with their regulating agency so that you can find out more information if necessary!
Health insurance is a great way to protect yourself from the cost of medical care. It can cover everything from routine visits, emergencies and hospitalization if you need it! However there are two types: group policies which may be purchased by employers or associations such as AARP; individual/family plans where consumers buy their own coverage but could face higher monthly premiums because they’re not covered by an employer’s program.
Health plans can be purchased either as “group” or individual/family policies, with the different types being governed by laws in California. For more information about these options visit the DMHC web page: http://www.dmhc.ca.gov/
If you’re an employee of a company that has its own health insurance, then it’s important to know the differences between self-insured and other types. Self-insured plans do not have minimum coverages like hospitalization or major surgery; they also can refuse payments for services rendered if there is no profit margin available (this includes dental). The best way? Consult with HR about what kind would work well based on your needs before signing anything!
Medi-Cal is a great way to get healthcare coverage without paying for it yourself. This state program covers lower income people in California, including families and single adults who cannot afford private insurance or out of pocket costs like deductibles that might be required if they need major medical treatment (which we all know can happen at any time). The Medi-Cal care organizations provide this benefit through managed care plans which cover not only procedures but also office visits with doctors as well! You don’t have pay anything extra – instead getting covered by an organization just makes sense since you’re already receiving their service freebie.
Middle-income pregnant women who are not covered by insurance or receiving public assistance can get quality healthcare services through MCAP. This program provides low cost health coverage with no deductibles, co payments that meet certain guidelines for income level eligibility requirements to apply
The Middle Class Access Plan (MCAP) was founded in 1996 because we believe everyone should have access affordable preventive care at least once during their lifetime whether they’re working full time versus juggling three jobs just trying make ends meet; graduates college then helping out around the house while also doing some casual laboring on weekends.
