Good news! Starting January 1, 2020, Medi-Cal benefits that were suspended for over ten years (including eyeglasses, hearing aids, foot care, speech therapy, and incontinence creams and washes) are restored. More information is available in Western Center’s January Practice Tip: Restoration of Critical Medi-Cal Benefits.
A recent news article highlights the importance of these benefits. People with Medi-Cal are encouraged to talk with their doctors and health plans to get access to these restored benefits.
