Medi-Cal

Medi-Cal is California’s Medicaid program, providing free or low-cost health coverage to eligible individuals, including low-income families, seniors, people with disabilities, and pregnant women. Funded jointly by the state and federal government, it covers a wide range of services such as doctor visits, hospital care, prescription drugs, dental care, and mental health services. Eligibility is based on income, household size, and other factors. Medi-Cal aims to improve access to essential healthcare for underserved populations, promoting health equity and financial protection against high medical costs.
