Having kaiser and medi-cal insurance ?

Question

I paid for kaiser insurance through my employer monthly, but later found out that I was covered under medi-cal. So I had both insurances, but everytime I was seen by a doctor, I paided a co-payment, and I also paid for my medicine. Under the medi-cal plan I pay nothing. So how do I get reimburst for what I paid already.

Answer 1

You will need to contact your Medi-cal case worker. Your Kaiser plan will be secondary and Medi-cal will be secondary. The procedure for reimbursement will vary depending on the situation. There is also a time limit to put in a claim.

Answer 2

You pay nothing IF you use medi-cal contracted providers. If the providers you saw and the pharmacy you went to accept medi-cal, take your medi-cal info to them. They will bill medi-cal for your co-pays. (I believe the maximum time they can go back is 12 months). Once they get reimbursed from medi-cal, you will get your refund.

However, if they do not accept medi-cal-and they are not obligated to, you are not eligible for any refunds, sorry.
