Using Your Medi-Cal Coverage

When you qualify for Medi-Cal, you will receive a packet in the mail with health plans you can choose from. If you do not choose a health plan within 30 days, Medi-Cal will choose a plan for you. Your choices will depend on the county you live in. To see the plans available in your county, visit the Medi-Cal Managed Care Health Plan Directory.  

You can start using your coverage even before you’ve chosen your Medi-Cal health plan.  Here are some ways you can get the care you need before enrolling in a health plan
