Nursing Facility

Starting on January 1, 2024, assets, such as bank accounts, cash, a second vehicle, and homes, will no longer be counted when determining Medi-Cal eligibility. Income and income from assets, such as income from property, will continue to be counted.

You still might be requested to provide documents to verify your income from property/assets, if any.

Yes. If you believe you may be eligible for Medi-Cal with the asset change, learn more and apply at http://www.dhcs.ca.gov/Get-Medi-Cal/Pages/default.aspx

If your coverage is denied, delayed, reduced, or stopped, you can ask your local Medi-Cal office to review your case. You can also ask for a State Fair Hearing to determine your eligibility if you disagree with the decision. Call the State Hearings Division toll-free at (800) 743-8525. If you ask for a hearing before your Medi-Cal ends, your coverage will continue during the process.

To be eligible for Medi-Cal a person has to meet certain financial requirements and functional (medical) requirements. The financial requirements vary by the applicant’s marital status, if their spouse is also applying for Medicaid and what program they are applying for – Nursing Home Medicaid, Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Waivers or Aged, Blind, and Disabled Medicaid. The PDH Nursing Facility falls under the Nursing Home Medicaid program. The easiest way to find the most current Medi-Cal eligibility criteria for your specific situation is to use the Medicaid Eligibility Requirements Finder tool.
