Medi-Cal
Medi-Cal is California’s Medicaid healthcare program. This program pays for a variety of medical services for children and adults with limited income and resources.
You can apply for Medi-Cal benefits regardless of sex, race, religion, color, national origin, sexual orientation, marital status, age, disability or veteran status. If you are found (or determined) eligible, you can get Medi-Cal as long as you continue to meet the eligibility requirements.
