How to visit a specialist through California Medicaid Insurance and on SSI?
-
So my friend receives SSI and Medi-Cal insurance. He has some injuries that require a Specialist's visit, (orthopedic surgeon) And we're not sure how to go about it. Do you have to go through a Primary Care Physician first before going to the Specialist? Or can he just go straight there without the primary care doctor's visit, because he has Medi-Cal Insurance? Thanks, E

Answer:
First, he has to go to his primary care physician, and get the referral to the specialist; then, he has to search to find a specialist that TAKES welfare health insurance - most don't. You might end up picking up the tab for your friend, to see the specialist - but hey, that's what friends are for.

Of course you have to get a referral from a primary care doctor. Medi-Cal does not authorize it otherwise. Medi-Cal is not insurance. It is a welfare program which subsidizes health care.
