HOW TO RENEW YOUR MEDI-CAL COVERAGE

We want you to keep your Medi-Cal coverage. Please make sure to check your mail and always update your address with Blue Shield of California Promise Health Plan. Be sure to do the same with your county. The phone numbers you need for this are listed below. 

There are two ways your Medi-Cal may be renewed annually:

  1. Automatic renewal
    If the county is able to verify your eligibility information electronically, you will be automatically renewed. The county will mail you a letter informing you that your renewal has been approved. You do not need to do anything.
     
  2. More information required for renewal 
    • If the county is not able to verify your eligibility information electronically, you will get a renewal packet in the mail.  
    • It is very important you fill out the renewal packet. This includes your proof of income. You have to send it back to the local county social services office as soon as possible. 
    • If your renewal is approved, the county will mail you a letter. 
    • You have a window of 60 days to mail your renewal packet. This window starts from the day you get it. If you do not mail your renewal packet within 60 days, you will lose your Medi-Cal coverage. 

 

You can submit the renewal packet to your local county social services office in a few different ways. They are listed below.
