Medi-Cal Appeal Guide
If your Managed Care health insurance plan denies you medical services or equipment that you need to stay healthy and functional, you have the due process right to challenge that decision and have it reviewed, first by the plan itself, and then by a neutral reviewer outside the plan. This guide will walk you through the steps involved and give you information to steer you in the right direction and help you focus on what is important and have the best chance of success in your appeal.

Representing Yourself at a State Hearing
This manual is a basic guide to California Department of Social Services (CDSS) state hearings for benefits like CalWORKs, CalFresh, CAPI, IHSS, Medi-Cal, and a few others. We wrote this guide to help you understand your rights and the hearing process when there is a problem with your benefits or you want to appeal (challenge) something your County welfare department did or didn’t do.
Hearings and dealing with government and County representatives can be scary, especially when you don’t know the law or your rights. This manual guides you through the process to help you to feel more confident and prepared.
