Welcome to the California Department of Health Care Services 

Other Coverage

Other Coverage is responsible for the identification of all health insurance belonging to Medi-Cal beneficiaries as well as maintaining the automated Health Insurance System.

Other Coverage identifies health insurance resources through referrals from county offices and the Social Security Administration.  This information is also obtained by conducting information exchanges with various health insurance companies.  When the health insurance information is received, our system is updated to ensure that Medi-Cal is the payer of last resort.

 Any questions about immediate needs concerning health insurance changes should be directed to:

The Special Assignment and Support Group’s Toll Free Number at 1-800-952-5294.
