CalAIM: Transforming Medi-Cal

Happy family

Medi-Cal provides low-cost or free health insurance to millions of Californians, including those who are lower-income, pregnant, older, or with disabilities. California is transforming the Medi-Cal program to ensure that Californians get the care they need to live healthier lives. Medi-Cal members will have access to new and improved services, and receive well-rounded care that goes beyond the doctor’s office or hospital and addresses their physical and mental health needs. Learn about the new Medi-Cal initiatives.

What does Medi-Cal Transformation mean for members?

Doctor talking to patient

These changes will create a more coordinated, person-centered, and equitable health system that works for everyone, accounting for your race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, disability, immigration status, health needs or where you live.

Over time, Medi-Cal will help members address their health-related social needs and provide those with long-term needs better integrated and coordinated care.

No matter where members seek care – at the doctor, the dentist, with a social worker, or at a community center – you’ll be connected to the quality care you need.

What is Medi-Cal and how do I know if I am eligible?

Medi-Cal offers low-cost or free health insurance to Californians with lower incomes. Medi-Cal Coverage includes:

  • Doctor visits
  • Prescriptions
  • Dental and vision care
  • Mental health services
  • Substance use treatment
  • And more

For many people who qualify for Medi-Cal, there is no cost – no premium, no co-pay, and no out-of-pocket cost. For others, there may be some low-cost premiums and co-pays. Learn more about Medi-Cal and special programs at www.coveredca.com or Medi-Cal Resources.
