What is Medi-Cal?
Medi-Cal is California’s version of the federal Medicaid program. The program provides health insurance to low-income Californians.
This insurance can be used to pay for surgeries, medication, general care, and several other medical services.
In addition to improving access to medical care, enrollment in Medi-Cal automatically qualifies participants for other forms of assistance,
such as the California LifeLine program. With California LifeLine enrollment, Medi-Cal participants may be eligible
to get a free cell phone from participating providers like LTE Wireless.
