I have been on Medicare & Medi-Cal, after my last SS increase I received a Notice of Action saying I no longer qualify for Medi-Cal because my net income is $1016.00 & it needs to be $1001.00 or less so I am a whole $15.00 over.    They said I need to find a Supplemental Insurance plan that is at least $15 or more a month. They suggested that I try AARP, so I called and told them I am 45, but they still signed me up. However when I tried to sign up for a plan I found out that I do not even qualify for the benefits until I am 50. At this point I do not know what to do.

Answer: You do not need to buy a dental plan that is linked to Medi Cal or Medicare. You only need to buy an insurance plan (vision, dental or health) so that you are decreasing your net income. I would suggest reviewing the dental HMO plans that this website has to offer. We provide many good HMO plans within the dollar amount you need to spend. Then please call our office if you have any further questions at 310-534-3444
