Millions of Californians Have Lost Their Medi-Cal Coverage. Take Action to Keep Your Coverage

Take action to keep your coverage! Local Medi-Cal offices review each member’s eligibility once a year or when someone reports changes to their household. Everyone’s renewal date is different.

Millions of people have lost their Medi-Cal coverage since redeterminations resumed earlier this year, seniors and those with disabilities have experienced higher rates of disenrollment. Stay alert and informed!  Keep an eye out for any mail sent to you from your county Medi-Cal office. If you recently moved, make sure to update your address on the Medi-Cal website or by calling your local office.

In June 2023, more than 200,000 people lost their Medi-Cal coverage because they did not return the information that was needed to process their new applications. People who did not return their redetermination packet during the month of June have until the end of September 30, 2023, to get their coverage restored. We are still working on the final numbers of people who lost their Medi-Cal coverage in July, but we do know that more than 34,000 people in Los Angeles County alone lost their coverage.
