ແຜ່ນພັບສຸຂະພາບພຶດຕິກຳໃໝ່ສຳລັບສະມາຊິກ Medi-Cal​​  

DHCS is pleased to announce the release of a new brochure, “Your Guide to Medi-Cal Behavioral Health Services: What’s Covered and How to Get Care,” which is now available in both English and Spanish. This comprehensive, easy-to-read resource is designed to help Medi-Cal members understand and access behavioral health services available to them, including mental health and substance use disorder services, for both youth and adults. Key features include an overview of non-specialty mental health services for mild conditions like anxiety and stress, specialty mental health services for more serious conditions like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, and substance use disorder services, including counseling, withdrawal management, medications, and recovery services, for both mild and more serious conditions.​​  

The brochure also includes information specific to providing culturally responsive care for American Indian/Alaska Native members, as well as helpful tools, such as crisis lines, mobile apps, and contact information to enable Medi-Cal members to connect with support more easily. Please email Medi.Cal.Benefits@dhcs.ca.gov if you have any questions.​​ 

ການສົ່ງແຈ້ງການຂອງ Medi-Cal ໄປໃຫ້ຜູ້ເຂົ້າເມືອງທີ່ເປັນຜູ້ໃຫຍ່ບາງຄົນ​​ 

On November 7, DHCS will begin mailing a General Information Notice and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) to Medi-Cal members who have no immigration status or an unverified immigration status, or certain non-immigrant visa holders who are active on full-scope Medi-Cal. The purpose of the notice is to inform members of changes to coverage affecting this population, including the elimination of dental services, effective July 1, 2026. Members will receive the General Information Notice and FAQ in their preferred language and alternative format, if applicable. Medi-Cal members can contact the Telephone Service Center at (800) 541-5555 if they have any questions.​​ 

Effective January 1, 2026, Medi-Cal members who enrolled in full-scope Medi-Cal due to the Medi-Cal adult expansion will retain their full-scope coverage; however, new applicants who do not have satisfactory immigration status and are aged 19 and older and not pregnant or within the one-year postpartum will only be eligible for restricted-scope Medi-Cal. Applicants and members must provide proof of their immigration status to ensure the correct scope of Medi-Cal coverage is granted. Copies of the notices are available in Medi-Cal Eligibility Division Information Letter I 25-22.​​
