Medi-Cal is the California state version of  the joint federal-state program which provides health insurance coverage to low-income children, seniors and people with disabilities. Medi-Cal also covers the cost of nursing home care for those who qualify. In the absence of any other public program covering long-term care, Medi-Cal has become the default nursing home insurance of the middle class.
While Congress and the federal Health Care Financing Administration create the rules under which Medi-Cal operates, each state runs its own program. It is for this reason that the rules vary from state to  state. Elder Law Services of California specializes in these issues.  Call attorney Judd Matsunaga today at 1-800 403-6078 for a free consultation.
