California&rsquo;s state Medicaid program is called&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/medi-cal/Pages/default.aspx" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Medi-Cal</a>. The program provides low-income Californians with medical&nbsp;coverage for physician care, dental services, hospitalization, nursing care and prescription medications. Medi-Cal is most often accessed by senior citizens, disabled persons, pregnant women and families with children.&nbsp; 
 
To be<a href="https://www.medicaidplanningassistance.org/medicaid-eligibility-california" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> eligible for Medi-Cal coverage</a>&nbsp;as a senior citizen, applicants must&nbsp;be at least 65 years of age and meet the following financial requirements:

</ul>
