Will I have to pay for Medi-Cal?

Answer: 

Individuals and families who meet all Medi-Cal eligibility criteria may be eligible for one of the following types of Medi-Cal:

  • Zero share of cost (free) Medi-Cal, or
  • Medi-Cal with a share of cost

Note: whether or not you have free Medi-Cal or Medi-Cal with a share of cost depends on many factors including but not limited to household composition, household income, household expenses, and tax filing status.
