What if my Medi-Cal application is denied?

If your Medi-Cal application is denied, there are steps you can take to address this issue. Firstly, you will receive a denial notice explaining the reason behind the decision. It is crucial to carefully review this notice to understand the specific cause of denial. In case you believe an error has occurred, you can request an appeal within 90 days of receiving the denial. To initiate the appeals process, complete and submit the appropriate form mentioned in the denial notice. You may also contact your local county human services agency for assistance and further guidance throughout the appeals process. Keep in mind that if your appeal is successful, you may be entitled to receive benefits retroactively to the date of your initial application.
