2025 Application for Medicaid in the United States California Medicaid, Medicare: Comparison of eligibility criteria and benefits

Just bring both cards with you to the doctor. Medical/drug expenses are mainly covered by Medicare, while Medi-Cal covers the difference and any other out-of-pocket expenses.

Q: Which one is better to use, the red and blue card or the white card?

There are many doctors who accept Red and Blue Cards, but some medical services are not covered, such as long-term care, dental, etc. At this time, the White Card can cover this additional cost. In short, if you have two cards at the same time, you don’t have to worry about huge medical expenses!
