This Hispanic Heritage Month, we celebrate the families, neighbors, promotoras, community leaders, small businesses, and organizations that help make Los Angeles County stronger.
Part of supporting our communities is making sure people have clear information about their health coverage.
Medi-Cal is not ending. But some rules are changing in 2027 and 2028. Some adults may need to renew their coverage twice a year beginning in 2027, and some may be subject to new work and community engagement requirements. Other changes may affect dental coverage or monthly premiums for certain adult immigrant members, while small copayments may begin for some higher-income adults in late 2028.
California’s Department of Health Care Services also confirms that beginning July 1, 2027, dental and premium changes will affect some adult Medi-Cal members based on immigration status, while exemptions and continued coverage apply to several populations.
The most important thing you can do today is prepare:
Update your address and phone number, open every Medi-Cal notice you receive, know when you need to renew, and ask for help if you have questions. Free assistance and translated resources are available.
