Additional Limitations

Some presented eligible counts are considered preliminary and subject to change. Eligibility for Medi-Cal may occur retroactively and it may take time for eligibility determinations to be processed and reported to DHCS. As such, eligibility data is approximately 96% complete for the current month, 98% complete within one month, and over 99% complete within 2 months. Eligibility counts for a specific month are considered complete for statistical reporting purposes 12 months after the month’s end.
