What should I do if I lose my Medi-Cal card?

If an individual loses their Medi-Cal card, it is important to take steps to obtain a replacement as soon as possible. The first step is to check the current web page for Medi-Cal for instructions on how to request a new card. Typically, individuals can request a replacement card through their local county social services office. The process may involve completing a form or providing specific information to verify eligibility. In some cases, individuals may also be able to request a replacement card online if they have access to their online Medi-Cal account. It is essential to keep track of important information such as personal identification details and the original card number, as this may aid in the replacement process. Once a request is made, the new card is usually mailed to the individual’s address. Remember to inform healthcare providers about any card changes to ensure continuity of care.
