Medi Cal Contact & Enrollment Info
Medi Cal Support
We are sorry. We had to cut back on the massive number of Medi Cal webpages we were maintaining for Medi Cal, as we are not authorized Medi Cal brokers nor do we get any compensation for our time, research or website costs.
Please review the contact links below, general & technical information on Medi Cal, other pages on our website, Medi Cal Webpages current and archived (our most popular webpage, even more so than the ones for companies we are appointed for was how to fill out Medi-Cal redetermination forms) and direct your questions to the Medi Cal HMO’s or Medi Cal personnel that do get the support and compensation to help you.
If you do want our expertise and not wait on endless hold, we do tutoring, research and education for a fee.

Message we got though Facebook from a Medi Cal employee
I’ve seen your replies on the dhcs medi-cal posts…just wanted to say thanks and they’re greatly appreciated…
I also checked out your website and love all the resources!!!
Sincerely,
A medi-cal managed care ombudsman, hahahahaha
Btw, what I love most is the part where you say we CANNOT approve/terminate/reinstate Medi-Cal eligibility; alter aid codes, change/update addresses, change/update name or initiate inter-county transfers…
I wish OUR website made that clear! Seems half of our beneficiary’s demand we do that…and expedite it
