Medi-Cal disregards property for individuals whose eligibility is determined using Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI). Property limits still apply to certain other Medi-Cal programs. For an overview of Medi-Cal property rules, click here: Medi-Cal General Property Limitations (MC 007).
Children may be eligible for Medi-Cal regardless of citizenship or immigration status, if they meet all the other eligibility requirements. Adults may be eligible for Medi-Cal coverage of emergency and pregnancy related medical care regardless of citizenship or immigration status, if they meet all the other eligibility requirements.
Other Programs
Individuals with incomes above the MAGI Medi-Cal income limits:
may qualify for subsidies to reduce monthly health insurance premium costs or reduce out-of-pocket costs (such as co-pays and deductibles).
may qualify for Non-MAGI Medi-Cal with or without a Share of Cost.
The Medi-Cal Access Program (MCAP) provides low cost comprehensive health insurance coverage to eligible pregnant women. MCAP is for middle-income families who do not have health insurance and whose income is too high for no-cost Medi-Cal. The program is also available to women who have other health insurance plans that do not cover maternity services or with a maternity-only deductible or copayment greater than $500. For additional information regarding the MCAP program, please visit the website, http://mcap.dhcs.ca.gov/ or call 1-800-433-2611.
