Summary
Health Net is updating the design of Medi-Cal member ID cards but requires providers to continue accepting all valid ID cards regardless of the new design. This is an administrative change affecting ID card appearance only.
Action Required
Immediately: Front desk staff must continue accepting all valid Medi-Cal member ID cards regardless of design changes. Train staff to verify member eligibility through normal channels rather than rejecting cards based on appearance. No system changes required.
