Before your Medi-Cal coverage is terminated, the county must check to see if you qualify for Medi-Cal under a different program.  If you are eligible for another Medi-Cal program, the county will put you in that program after it looks at any information needed to decide if you qualify for that program.​​  

There are different ways to qualify for Medi-Cal.  If the county cannot determine whether you will remain eligible for Medi-Cal with the information they have, the county may send you paperwork or ask you for additional information to decide if you still qualify for Medi-Cal.  You may be asked to give income and tax information, or other information that will help the county decide if you can keep your Medi-Cal or can get other financial help to buy low-cost health insurance through Covered California.  If the county decides that you are no longer eligible for Medi-Cal, you will get a Notice of Action and information about how to appeal if you disagree with the decision.​​

If you are not on Medi-Cal, you or someone on your behalf should contact your county social services office and tell them that you want to enroll in the Medi-Cal program for FFY and need “retroactive coverage” to pay for medical services you received.  Make sure to tell the county that you are a FFY and ask for Form MC 250A.  If you need to pay for medical services you received anytime during the three months before you applied for Medi-Cal, make sure you check the box at the top of the MC 250A asking for “retroactive coverage.”​​
