Which term refers to California's Medicaid health care program that includes a variety of medical services for children and adults with a qualifying income or medical condition?

• A. Natural Supports
• B. Grandparenting Process
• C. Medi-Cal
• D. Culturally Appropriate Services

Answer: (C)

Medi-Cal is California’s Medicaid program. It provides a broad range of health services to people who meet income or medical-need criteria, covering both children and adults. Funded jointly by state and federal government and run through the California Department of Health Care Services, it includes doctor visits, hospital care, vaccines, prescriptions, mental health, dental, vision, and more. The other terms point to different concepts (informal support from family and friends, caregiving arrangements, or services tailored to culture) and do not name the state’s Medicaid program.
