Don’t Lose Your Medi-Cal Coverage — Mail Your Renewal Packet Now!

Most Medi-Cal members got a yellow envelope in the mail from the San Mateo County Human Services Agency (HSA) with forms that must be filled out and mailed back to renew Medi-Cal coverage. If you have not done this yet, make sure you do it right away or your Medi-Cal coverage will end.

  • Turn in what you have now—even if it is not complete. You can send the rest later.
  • If you don’t have your packet or can’t find it, call HSA at 650-295-3622. TTY: dial 7-1-1. They are open Monday – Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. If you have sent in your packet, HSA will either confirm your renewal or ask you for more information.

Sign up to get text or email alerts about your case by creating or checking your Covered California, BenefitsCal or MyBenefitsCalWIN account. You may also be able to submit your renewal or request information online at www.mybenefitscalwin.org.
