Received a Medi-Cal Renewal Packet? Complete It by the Due Date

If you receive a Medi-Cal renewal packet in the mail, don’t ignore it. Completing and returning it by the due date can help you avoid an interruption in your healthcare coverage. Medi-Cal coverage must be renewed periodically to confirm that members are still eligible. Some members are renewed automatically. Others receive a renewal packet requesting updated information. Here’s what to do if you receive a renewal packet: 1. Read the packet carefully. Check the due date and instructions. You may need to provide updated information about your household, income or other circumstances. 2. Complete the forms. Answer all questions that apply to you and include any requested documents. Make sure your information is accurate. 3. Return the packet on time. Follow the instructions for submitting your forms. You may be able to renew online, by mail, by phone or in person. 4. Watch for follow-up notices. Your county Medi-Cal office may request additional information.
