Medi-Cal in Stanislaus County FAQs

Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about Medi-Cal in Stanislaus County:

Who is eligible for Medi-Cal in Stanislaus County?

Medi-Cal is available to Stanislaus County residents who are U.S. citizens, permanent residents, legal aliens, or U.S. nationals.

There are several ways to qualify for the program.

First, you can qualify based on Income. To see the income limits, see our post on Medi-Cal income limits.

Also, you can qualify because you meet certain requirements that relate to your health or age. You are eligible to receive Medi-Cal benefits if you are:

• Over the age of 65
• Blind or disabled
• Pregnant
• In a nursing or intermediate care home
• Under the age of 21
• A refugee living in the U.S. temporarily

As a parent or guardian relative of a child who is under the age of 21, you may be eligible for Medi-Cal if you’re taking care of the child because the parents:

• Have died
• Do not live with the child
• Are incapacitated
• Are not employed

Additionally, you may also qualify for Medi-Cal benefits if you are already enrolled and receiving benefits from one of the following programs:

• CalFresh
• SSI/SSP
• CalWorks (AFDC)
• Refugee Assistance
• Foster Care or Adoption Assistance Program

How do I Apply for Medi-Cal in Stanislaus County?

There are three ways to apply for Medi-Cal in Stanislaus County:

• Online at BenefitsCal.
• Online through Covered California, at or by calling 1-800-300-1506.
• You can apply by phone. Call CSA at 1-877-652-0734 to have an application mailed to you.
• Apply in person at one of the CSA office locations listed above.

Is it safe to apply for Medi-Cal through Covered California?

Yes. Medi-Cal and Covered California use the same application.

This means that once you apply using CoveredCA.com, you’ll find out which program you qualify for. Some households qualify for both.

What Happens After I apply for Medi-Cal?

Here’s what happens after you apply for Medi-Cal in Stanislaus County:

Your Medi-Cal application will be reviewed by the CSA to determine if you qualify.

This could take up to 45 days.

To check on the status of your application, contact your Local CSA office (see list of locations above).

If the CSA determines you qualify and are approved for Medi-Cal, you will receive a packet in the mail with your Medi-Cal ID card.

Once you receive your Medi-Cal card, which is also known as a Benefit Identification Card (BIC), you can start using your Medi-Cal benefits.

You Must Choose a Health Plan

After you are approved for Medi-Cal, you must choose a health care plan and/or provider within 30 days of receiving your packet.

If you do not choose a plan and/or provider within 30 days, one will be assigned to you.

How do I see a specialist under Medi-Cal?

If you need to see a specialist, your primary care physician (PCP) will refer you.

The services must be approved before you receive them. This is also known as a referral.

However, you do not need a referral for the following:

• PCP visits
• Network Certified Nurse Midwife OB/GYN visits
• Urgent or emergency care visits
• Family planning
• Basic prenatal care from a provider who works with your health plan
• HIV testing and counseling (only minors 12 years or older)
• Treatment for sexually transmitted infections (only minors 12 years or older)

Additionally, minors also do not need a referral for:

• Outpatient mental health for:
  – Sexual or physical abuse
  – When you may hurt yourself or others
• Pregnancy care
• Sexual assault care
• Drug and alcohol abuse treatment

Additionally, depending on how you qualify for Medi-Cal, the program may pay for all of these services (full-scope Medi-Cal) or just some of them (partial-scope Medi-Cal).

Are there any co-pays, premiums, or out-of-pocket expenses for Medi-Cal?

It depends. If you have a SOC or Share of Cost, you will need to pay that amount each month to your provider.

However, there are no other co-payment, premiums, or out-of-pocket expenses if you see and receive Medi-Cal-covered benefits through a Medi-Cal provider.

What is Medi-Cal Share of Cost?

If you make too much money to qualify for free Medi-Cal, you will have a Share of Cost payment.

A Share of Cost (also referred to as a SOC) is the amount of money an individual is responsible to pay towards their medical-related services, supplies, or equipment before Medi-Cal will begin to pay.

You only pay your Share of Cost in the month(s) you receive medical-related services, supplies, or equipment, including prescriptions and In-Home Supportive
Services.

After you meet your Share of Cost, Medi-Cal pays for your care for the rest of that month.
