Medi-Cal

Medi-Cal is a program that offers health coverage for children and adults with limited income and resources. Find out if you qualify for Medi-Cal.

There are two common ways to receive Medi-Cal benefits:

Medi-Cal which is administered directly by the state. This is usually referred to as Medi-Cal Fee-For-Service (FFS) or traditional Medi-Cal.
Medi-Cal benefits which are administered by a third-party insurance plan that your county has chosen to administer those benefits for its residents. This is referred to as Medi-Cal HMO or Managed Medi-Cal.

Typically, once you sign up for Medi-Cal, you are enrolled in a traditional Medi-Cal FFS plan for the first 30 days, and then the state transitions you to one of the Managed Medi-Cal plans available in your county. Most counties in California are now using Managed Medi-Cal plans.
