Question 4

I am no longer eligible for Medi-Cal, what should I do?"

Accepted Answer

If you get a Medi-Cal Notice of Action telling you that you or a member of your household no longer qualifies for Medi-Cal due to changes in income or your household, you may enroll in a health plan through Covered California, but you must act fast.
 
You only have 60 days from the date listed in the Medi-Cal Notice of Action to enroll in Covered California under special enrollment. To avoid a gap in your health coverage, let us help you select a new plan before your Medi-Cal coverage ends. We can also tell you if you qualify for financial help to lower your costs.
