What do you mean by Medi-Cal? Is this different from Medicare? Yes they are different;Medi-Cal is for people who are low-income or disabled. Medicare is for everyone at age 65, if you have worked 10 years in the United States.
Must I be a US Citizen to enroll in PACE? No, you do not need to be a citizen to receive PACE in California.
How do you enroll in Medi-Cal, so you can get PACE free? At some PACE centers, there are benefits teams that help with all the paperwork. Other PACE centers refer you to county offices. To enroll yourself in Medi-Cal, visit a County Office in your area.
Is there a limit to your income for Medi-Cal? Yes, there is an income limit to receive Full Medi-Cal. You will find this year's income limit inthe description area of this video. There is one income limit for individuals, and another for couples. This income can come from social security, a pension and other sources. If your income is over the Medi-Cal limit, you may still qualify for Medi-Cal by paying a monthly premium. This income level changes every year.

How long does it take to enroll? For people enrolled in Medi-Cal, the average time to enroll in PACE is 1 to 2 months.
Do I need a medical exam? Not a full exam, but you will have a medical discussion before enrolling. PACE is exclusively for people with 1, 2, 3 or more medical conditions who have a certain level of medical need.
Who will my PACE doctor and nurse be? You will have a new doctor and nurse at PACE. Many have extra years of training for older adults.
Does PACE provide all my medical care? Yes, all your medical care, appointments, supplies, medications and services are provided for - and paid for - by PACE.
