BCCTP Medi-Cal Change in 2026!
Pausa de inscripción
Starting January 1, 2026, some new BCCTP adult applicants will no longer qualify for full scope BCCTP Medi-Cal coverage based on their immigration status. However, eligible applicants may still receive limited scope BCCTP Medi-Cal to cover treatment for breast and cervical cancer.
BCCTP Medi-Cal Changes in 2027!
Retroactive Coverage
Starting January 1, 2027, BCCTP retroactive Medi-Cal coverage will be reduced from 90 days to 60 days. If you are eligible, Retroactive Medi-Cal coverage may cover the cost of medical services and treatment you received right before you applied for BCCTP. Contact us if you want to apply for Retroactive Medi-Cal.
Pago por servicio
Starting January 1, 2027, some BCCTP applicants will receive care through Fee-For-Service (FFS) Medi-Cal instead of through a health plan. To learn more about this change, visit the Fee-for-Service Transition | Medi-Cal page.

Can I get BCCTP coverage?
You may be eligible for BCCTP if you:
- vive en California;
- Tengo cáncer de mama y/o cuello uterino y necesito tratamiento
- Your monthly paycheck (gross income) is less than $2,660 before taxes are taken out for a household size of one (1) person.
Note: The monthly income limit changes based on the number of people in your household. If you are unsure if your income would make you eligible, but you meet the other criteria, you should apply.
If you are age 65 or older, or have other health coverage, you may still qualify.
Your monthly income helps us decide if you can get and keep your BCCTP Medi-Cal coverage. The number of people in your family who live with you when you apply also matters.

Here is a video that tells you about the different types of income: What is Income?
For BCCTP, the family size is the total number of persons in the home which includes the applicant, spouse, and their children under 21 years of age.
Here are two examples of individuals who can get BCCTP Medi-Cal coverage:
Ejemplo 1:
Vivo con mi cónyuge y mi hijo de 21 años. Recibo $1,000 cada mes del Seguro Estatal de Incapacidad (SDI). Mi cónyuge también recibe $1,500 cada mes del Seguro Social. Mi hijo de 21 años recibe $3,500 cada mes de su trabajo.
In this situation, the income that counts is mine and my spouse’s. Our 21-year-old child’s income does not count.
My Income: $1,000
My Spouse’s Income + $1,500
My 21-Year-Old Child’s Income Does not count
Total Income for my household size of 2 is $2,500
Ejemplo 2:
I live with my spouse, my 28-year-old child, and my two young grandchildren. I do not work or receive any income. My spouse works and gets $1,800 each month. My 28-year-old child works and gets $1,500 each month from their job.
In this situation, only my husband’s income matters. Our 28-year-old child’s income does not count.
My Income: $0
My Spouse’s Income + $1,800
My 28-Year-Old Child’s Income Does not count
Total Income for my household size of 2 for BCCTP: $1,800
