Many Californians Missing Out on Free Medi-Cal Dental and Vision Care | News Briefing | 10/23/25

Many Californians with Medi-Cal may not realize they qualify for free dental and vision care, services designed to keep families healthy and thriving. Despite having full coverage for routine checkups, cleanings, and eye exams, only 1 in 5 adults on Medi-Cal use their dental benefits each year. These services are more than just routine—they help prevent serious health issues like tooth decay, infections, and vision loss, which can affect a person’s ability to work, care for loved ones, and maintain overall health and well-being. Join us for a virtual briefing to learn how dental and vision care support CalAIM’s mission to deliver more equitable, person-centered care. Leaders from the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) and community partners will explain who qualifies for these services, highlight commonly overlooked benefits, and share how members can access care today, including multilingual support and tools, like the Find a Dentist app. Register now to hear how you can help close the care gap and connect Medi-Cal members with the services they need and deserve.
