Need Help Understanding Medi-Cal?
MC Solutions helps seniors and their families better understand the Medi-Cal application process and helps them apply for benefits.
What We Do
Helping Seniors Apply for Medi-Cal
After many years of working with an elder law attorney and many nursing homes, I (Rich Bozzer) became readily aware of how confusing the Medi-Cal application process really was for families. There are many rules and regulations that are a part of the application process and most families were having trouble navigating the necessary steps to apply. It was then that I opened MC Solutions to help seniors and their families better understand the Medi-Cal application process as well as helping them apply for benefits. My main goal is to give families the tools to help them make informed decisions while planning for their loved one’s future.
About The Owner
Meet Rich Bozzer
I have been helping with Medi-Cal applications for over twenty years; very rarely am I surprised as to the assets people own. This experience has given me a wealth of information that allows me to explain and give a clear understanding of the Medi-Cal process to anyone seeking information on Medi-Cal. If you or a loved one are applying for Medi-Cal and have questions or concerns, I can help you.
How It Works
The Process
Step 1: Consultation
The first step in the process is to schedule an initial phone conversation in order to gather some basic details about your loved one’s assets and income. From there, we will schedule a meeting to review all assets and income in more detail. During this meeting we will also discuss how Medi-Cal works as well as anything that may affect eligibility.
Step 2: Develop Eligibility
Going forward, I will work with you to develop a strategy that will address and resolve any issues affecting your loved one’s eligibility for Medi-Cal. As your authorized representative, I will document each step of this process in order to build a case that we will then submit to the Medi-Cal Department for review.
Step 3: Approval
I will work with the Medi-Cal Department on your behalf to answer any questions or concerns about your case in order to help you get approved. Once approved, I will send an approval notification to the care facility letting them know Medi-Cal has been granted. Generally, this process takes about 60-90 days from start to finish.
