There are two main contexts for applying related to "medical" in California, and they differ significantly:
- Applying for medical school in California.
- Applying for Medi-Cal, California's Medicaid health coverage program.
To clarify:
- If the question is about applying for medical school admission in California, the main steps generally involve submitting the AMCAS (American Medical College Application Service) primary application, followed by secondary applications, interviews, and final admissions decisions. This process is consistent across medical schools like UCSF, UCLA, UC Davis, UC Riverside, and others in California.
- If the question is about applying for Medi-Cal (California's health insurance program for low-income individuals), the application methods include applying online via BenefitsCal or CoveredCA, in person at local county offices, by mail, or by phone. Required documents include identification, proof of residency, and proof of income. After approval, applicants receive a Benefits Identification Card to access Medi-Cal benefits.
Please confirm which application process is intended, or if both are needed, and I can provide detailed steps accordingly.
