Medi-Cal expansion eligibility

Changes to Medi-Cal include limiting dental benefits for already-enrolled undocumented adults to "restricted scope" coverage for basic and emergency care only starting in July 2026.

Figures represent the percentage of all Medi-Cal eligible adults who will be limited to "restricted scope" dental benefits after July 1, 2026 due to eligibility under programs to expand benefits to all low-income residents, regardless of immigration status.
