Can I qualify as Medically Needy?

If you are aged, blind, or disabled, but your income is too high for other Medi-Cal programs, you may be eligible for Aged, Blind, and Disabled – Medically Needy Medi-Cal. For this program, you may need to “spend down” a certain amount of your own money before Medi-Cal begins to pay for medical services. This payment is called a share of cost.
