AIDS Treatment News California Residents: Medi-Cal May Pay Your Private Health John S. James
June 16, 1995

AIDS TREATMENT NEWS Issue #225, June 16, 1995 The State of California Department of Health Services asked us to let our readers know that Medi-Cal can pay private insurance premiums, in some cases. This benefits the individual because private insurance is usually better than Medi-Cal. And California likes the program because it has saved an estimated $22 million for Medi-Cal during the last two years. To be eligible for these programs, you must be eligible for Medi-Cal, be enrolled in a health insurance plan (including COBRA continuation) or have an employer's group health plan available for enrollment, and have high on-going medical costs. For more information, talk to your MediCal eligibility worker, or call 800/952-5294, ext. 111, to ask about the HIPP and EGHP programs.
