HOW IT WORKS

Your next steps.

Choose coverage. Get insured. Send your proof.

  1. 1

    Choose a plan

    Compare dental coverage and optional vision.

  2. 2

    Check with your county

    Ask which premium amount could lower your share of cost before you buy.

  3. 3

    Apply for insurance

    Use an authorized agent or insurer’s secure application.

  4. 4

    Save your proof

    Keep your coverage letter, start date, monthly premium, and payment proof.

  5. 5

    Send it to Medi-Cal

    Follow the upload steps. Ask the county to review your share of cost and send its decision.

Then check your new county letter. The county confirms your new share of cost and start month.

Compare plans

A $0 share of cost depends on county approval. Insurance premiums are still payable.
