Ready, set, renew!

It’s time for some of your patients to renew their Medi-Cal benefits. As states begin to recommence Medi-Cal renewals, we want to ensure you have the information needed to help your Medi-Cal patients renew their healthcare coverage. Some patients have never had to renew their coverage at all, while other patients may have forgotten the process entirely.

We’re here to help.

What steps do my patients need to take?

• Ready: Patient gets their documents ready.
• Set: Patient ensures their form is all set.
• Renew: Patient sends renewal form:
  • Via phone: Call your local county office.
  • Via mail: Send to your local county office.
  • Via in person: Patient can find their local county office by visiting https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/medi-cal/Pages/CountyOffices.aspx.
