Community Supports

Community Supports may be available under your Individualized Care Plan. Community Supports are medically appropriate and cost-effective alternative services or settings to those covered under the Medi-Cal State Plan. These services are optional for Members to receive. If you qualify, these services may help you live more independently. They do not replace benefits that you already get under Medi-Cal.

If you need help or would like to find out what Community Supports may be available for you, call 800-407-4627 (TTY 711), or call your healthcare provider.

If you need help finding a Community Supports provider or any provider, visit Getting Care 24/7.
