Rights and responsibilities
■ The information I gave on this renewal form is true as far as I know. I know that I may be subject to a
penalty if I do not tell the truth.

■ I understand that the information I give will be used only to see if those in my family who are applying to
renew health insurance will qualify.
■ I understand that the Medi-Cal program and Covered California will keep my information private, as the
law requires. For more information, or access to personal information in records maintained by the Medi-
Cal program and Covered California, I can contact my local county office. Or I can contact the Covered
California Privacy Officer at 1-800-300-1506 (TTY: 1-888-889-4500).
■ I understand that to be eligible for Medi-Cal, I am required to apply for other income or benefits to which
I or any member of my household is entitled, unless he or she has good cause for not doing so.
Examples of such income or benefits are pensions, government benefits, retirement income, veteran’s
benefits, annuities, disability benefits, Social Security benefits (also called OASDI or Old Age, Survivors,
and Disability Insurance), and unemployment benefits. But such income or benefits do not include public
assistance benefits, such as CalWORKs or CalFresh. If I have a question about a possible source of
income, I can call my local county office or Covered California at 1-800-300-1506 (TTY: 1-888-889-4500)
for help.
■ If I am found eligible for Medi-Cal, I must tell my county eligibility worker about any changes that may
affect my eligibility for health insurance within 10 days of the change to my local county office.
These changes include, but are not limited to:
» I move
» my income changes
» my household changes (for example, marriage/divorce, become pregnant, or have a child(ren))
» I become qualified for other health insurance
■ If I am enrolled in Covered California, I understand I must report changes within 30 days. I can call
Covered California at 1-800-300-1506 (TTY: 1-888-889-4500) or visit CoveredCA.com.
■ I understand that I must report income changes to my local county office because it may affect the
eligibility for Medi-Cal benefits or Covered California for the amount of state and federal financial help
that I may be eligible to receive. I also understand if I receive too much financial help during the benefit
year, I will have to repay the extra premium assistance or state subsidy back to the IRS or California
Franchise Tax Board when I file my federal and state income taxes for the benefit year.

■ I give my permission to Covered California and the Medi-Cal program to check other agencies computer
records to verify citizenship or whether I am lawfully present in the U.S., tax information,’and other
information related only to eligibility to see if I and other people on this renewal qualify for health
insurance.

■ I understand that as required by law, the information I provide about myself and other people on this
renewal for Medi-Cal will be checked by computer with facts given by employers, banks, SSA, Internal
Revenue Service, Franchise Tax Board, social services and other agencies to see if I or other people on
this renewal qualify for health insurance.

MC 216 ENG (Rev 10/20)

0000000370843358
Page 17 of 37
 ■ I know that if Medi-Cal pays for a medical expense, any money I or anyone on this renewal form gets
from other health insurance or legal settlements related to that expense will go to Medi-Cal as payment
for the expense until the expense is paid in full.
■ For parents whose child or children qualify for Medi-Cal: I know I will be asked to help the agency that
collects medical support from any parent on this renewal form who does not live with the child and does
not send support for the child. If I think that helping will harm me or my children, I can tell the Medi-Cal
program and I will not have to help.

Right to Appeal
If I think the Medi-Cal program or Covered California has made a mistake, I can appeal its decision.
To appeal means to tell someone at the Medi-Cal program or Covered California that I think its decision is
wrong and ask for a fair review of the action.

I know that I must file an appeal within 90 days of the decision. I know that I can represent myself or have
someone else represent me in my appeal, such as an authorized representative, a friend, a relative, or a
lawyer.
I know that if I need help, someone at the Medi-Cal program, Covered California, or the local county office
can explain my case to me.

BREAST AND CERVICAL CANCER TREATMENT PROGRAM (BCCTP)

The BCCTP may provide Medi-Cal to low-income people that live in California and have
breast and/or cervical cancer.

If you have been denied Medi-Cal or you are no longer eligible for Medi-Cal through your
county and you have breast and/or cervical cancer, tell your county Eligibility Worker (EW).
Your EW can make a referral for you to the BCCTP.

An Eligibility Specialist (ES) from the BCCTP will call or write to you for more information. The
requested information will help us to see if you are eligible for the program. You may be Medi-
Cal eligible through the BCCTP if you are a woman and you meet the following requirements:

• Have been screened and found in need of treatment for breast and/or cervical cancer,
follow-up care for cancer, or precancerous cervical lesions/conditions by an Every
Woman Counts (EWC) or Family Planning, Access, Care and Treatment (FamPACT)
provider; and
• Are a California resident; and
• Are under age 65; and
• Are a United States citizen or have satisfactory immigration status; and
• Have no other health insurance including full-scope no share-of-cost Medi-Cal, or
Medicare; and
• Have a monthly gross family income, at the time of screening and diagnosis, that is at
or below 200 percent of the federal poverty level.

If you have been screened for breast and/or cervical cancer by a provider that is not with EWC
or FamPACT, you can still be referred to the BCCTP. Your BCCTP worker will help you find
an EWC or FamPACT provider that can confirm your diagnosis.

Even if you do not meet all the above requirements, you may still receive BCCTP through the
State-funded BCCTP. The State-funded BCCTP can help you for up to 18 months for breast
cancer or up to 24 months for cervical cancer. The State-funded BCCTP is available to men
and women, regardless of immigration status.

For additional information or questions on the BCCTP, call 1-800-824-0088
