Financial Assistance Programs in Pasadena

Medicaid Program in Pasadena

The Medicaid program in California is known as Medi-Cal. This entitlement program provides free or low-cost medical coverage to low-income residents, including nursing home care for eligible seniors.

Regular Medi-Cal covers health care costs and applicants must meet financial eligibility criteria. Singles must have an income less than $1,242 a month and assets of less than $2,000. These criteria are the same for married couples where only one person is applying. When both members or a married couple is applying, the income limit is $1,682 a month and the asset limit is $3,000. When calculating an applicant's asset value, some types of assets are exempt, including furnishing, personal belongings, burial trusts, automobiles and the primary home.

Those applying for nursing home care through Medi-Cal must require a nursing home level of care. The asset limits for those in nursing home care are the same as regular Medi-Cal, except where the applicant is married and their spouse is not applying. In this case, the applicant's asset limit is still $2,000, but the non-applicant spouse can retain $126,420 of the couple's joint assets. Those in nursing home care don't have to meet an income limit, although they must pay a "share of cost" towards their care.

There are pathways available to allow people who aren't financially eligible to gain access to Medi-Cal. In particular, the Medically Needy Pathway is designed for people who don't meet the income criteria and have high medical costs. Their excess income is used to pay for medical costs and they can access Medi-Cal when they have paid enough to reach the income limit. Seniors can also use a Medicaid planning professional to find strategies to qualify for Medi-Cal.

Applications are made through the Department of Health Care Services website or at Pasadena's local Department of Public Social Services office.
