Medi-Cal recipients are being notified to renew their healthcare benefits.

If you receive a renewal packet in the mail, please fill it out and send it back. If you receive a request for more information, or you need to update your address, please call 1-866-262-9881 or go online to https://www.sandiegocounty.gov/medi-cal.

Completion of the renewal packet and updating benefits information are critical in order to keep Medi-Cal coverage.

"Medi-Cal provides more than one million people in San Diego County with their health care benefits," said Rick Wanne, director of Self Sufficiency Services. "If you were notified, please respond on time. We are ready to answer questions and provide support to those who need help with their renewals."

Medi-Cal is California's Medicaid health care program. It pays for a variety of medical services for children and adults who have limited income and resources.

Information on eligibility requirements, benefits, how to apply for Medi-Cal and about the Affordable Care Act is available online at https://www.sandiegocounty.gov/medi-cal or by calling 1-866-262-9881.
