Privacy

When you apply for Medi-Cal, your personal information is kept private. The state only uses your information to find out if you qualify. The federal government funds some of Medi-Cal, and the state must share some of your information with the US Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, a federal agency within the United States Department of Health and Human Services. Federal laws and policies provide some protections of people’s personal information.

If you are 26 – 49 years old and qualify:

Until December 31, 2023 - You will get emergency Medi-Cal.
