Medi-Cal Changes in 2027
Stay informed. Stay prepared. Help is available.
Changes to California's Medi-Cal program are coming in 2027. Some changes may affect eligibility requirements, renewals, or how individuals receive healthcare services.
Not everyone will be affected in the same way. Understanding your coverage and taking action when necessary can help you stay connected to the healthcare services you need.
Lompoc Valley Medical Center encourages Medi-Cal members and their families to stay informed and seek assistance if they have questions.
