The California Medi-Cal Assistance Program is California’s Medicaid program serving low-income individuals, including families, seniors, persons with disabilities, etc. It helps pay for medical expenses for people with disabilities and others who qualify. Apply by mail, in person (County Social Services Office) or online (Covered California Website).
Your child can possibly qualify for Medi-Cal even if you are not low-income by submitting an institutional deeming waiver (HCBS-DD) to your local Department of Public Social Services completed by your partnered regional center. You have to be a qualified client of the regional center to be even considered for a waiver.
