If you cannot commit to being a Coverage Ambassador, you can still use and share the resources we created to inform your community about health coverage options.
What is a Coverage Ambassador?
Coverage Ambassadors are people who help people in their community find, better understand, or keep their health coverage.
Anyone can become a Coverage Ambassador. If you decide to become one, you will be empowered to:

Engage – Provide community members with helpful tools to use when reaching out to members. When requested, give feedback on outreach materials and Medi-Cal member messaging.
-
Provide Consistency – Help to share valuable information, so Medi-Cal members are not confused.
Who are Coverage Ambassadors?

-
Coverage Ambassador roles: Stay up to date on the latest information, and communicate with Medi-Cal members about their health coverage.
