Medi-Cal is one of the best insurance programs offered by Government which is affordable and effective as well. There are multiple criteria You need to fulfil to get qualified for the program. The applicant must go through the Medi-Cal Eligibility Check conducted by the county.
You need to fill up a form to check Your Medi-Cal Eligibility and county will inform if You are eligible. I have mentioned all the important criteria given by Department of Healthcare Services that You can check to determine Your eligibility.
Medi-Cal Eligibility Checker Tool
I have developed this tool based on the information and eligibility criteria provided by the California Department of Healthcare Services. You can use this Medi-Cal Eligibility Checker tool to check Your Medi-Cal Eligibility by Yourself.

Medi-Cal Eligibility Check
You can check Your Medi-Cal Eligibility by using multiple ways but I’ll recommend to use only two of them as they are highly credible. One is Automated Eligibility Verification System (AEVS) and second is Calling Your County.
The AEVS system is built for the Medi-Cal members to check their Medi-Cal eligibility for past 12 months. The fresh Medi-Cal applicants should call their county to determine their eligibility.
Checking Your Medi-Cal eligibility is the first step You need to go through to reach the second. You can also visit Your county to get step-by-step information checking eligibility and filling up Medi-Cal form.
Let’s learn all the methods of checking Medi-Cal eligibility one-by-one.
Use Automated Eligibility Verification System (AEVS)
I’m not going to explain the Automated Eligibility Verification system in details as it is built for the Medi-Cal members. This system will not work for the first time Medi-Cal applicants.
