Keep Medi-Cal

Steps to renew your Medi-Cal coverage

Please follow the renewal steps below but note that starting in January 2026 there will be some changes to Medi-Cal eligibility. View changes.

  1. Wait for us to contact you about renewing your coverage:  
    We will try to renew your Medi-Cal without requiring you to fill out a renewal form. If we succeed, you’ll get a notice confirming your Medi-Cal has been renewed for another year. If we don’t succeed, you will get a renewal packet in the mail.  
  2. Update your information: If you have moved and are not sure we have your updated address, please call (855) 355-5757 or visit BenefitsCal. Otherwise, you may not receive your renewal packet or renewal letter and could lose your Medi-Cal.
  3. If you receive a renewal packet in the mail: Complete and return the form in the packet and the requested verifications by the due date mentioned in the letter. Call (855) 355-5757 with any questions.
  4. Ways to submit updated contact information and requested verifications:
  5. If you miss your renewal deadline:
    You will have 90 days after your discontinuance to submit the renewal form and income verification documents without having to reapply. After that, you may need to submit a new application for Medi-Cal.
  6. If you move to another county:
    If you are moving to another county in California and want to keep your Medi-Cal benefits, we may be able to help transfer your case. For details about an Inter-County Transfer (ICT), call (855) 355-5757 

Beware of Medi-Cal scams:  Medi-Cal and SFHSA will never require payment for your Medi-Cal application or renewal. If you are asked for payment or have other reasons to suspect fraud, call the Medi-Cal Fraud Hotline (800) 822-6222.
