Health Insurance for Individuals, Families, Seniors, Self Employed and Small Businesses

The California Department of Health Services (DHS) oversees the Medi-Cal program. Medi-Cal is California's Medicaid health care program and is supported by federal and state tax dollars. This program pays for a variety of medical services for people with limited income and resources and/or disabled individuals regardless of any preexisting health condition. If you are eligible, you can receive Medi-Cal benefits as long as you continue to meet the eligibility requirements.

Medi-Cal is managed through your local county welfare/social services department. Contact your County Department of Public Social Services for current eligibility information or see the "Resources" section under DHS for related Medi-Cal contacts.
