Does California have free mental health care?
For instance, in California, many more people have qualified for Medi-Cal (Medicaid) under expanded Healthcare, and mental health services are covered under that and frequently provided free of charge to the client. Medi-Cal offers free or low-cost health coverage for California residents who meet eligibility requirements. Most applicants who apply through Covered California and enroll in Medi-Cal will receive care through managed health plans.Note that free health insurance plans are available, as California’s low-income cutoffs are below $47,520 a year.
