​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Medi-Cal Enrollment​

Enrollment in Medi-Cal, California's Medicaid program, represents approximately one-third of the state's population. The information that can be accessed from this page represents the most recent data regarding Medi-Cal enrollment. Currently, about 83 percent of enrollees have coverage provided by a Medi-Cal managed care plan, while other enrollees receive their care through the fee-for-service delivery system.​

The files listed below describe the Medi-Cal population in various categories. Note that enrollment is determined retroactively, as it takes time for counties to determine eligibility, process enrollment, and report enrollment numbers to DHCS.
