Summary
Healthcare providers in Fresno, Kings, and Madera counties must help Medi-Cal patients update their contact information and report changes in circumstances to maintain coverage as COVID-19 public health emergency ends. County eligibility checks will resume, requiring current patient information to prevent coverage loss.
Action Required
Immediately: Front desk staff must discuss with all Medi-Cal patients the need to update contact information and report household changes from the past two years. Provide patients with county contact information and direct them to DHCS website, Covered CA, or BenefitsCal for updates. Document patient education in medical records to ensure coverage continuity.
