I had a $800 deductable before medi-cal would pay any medical expense. I had to pay for my doctors visit and medications 100%. I will be 65 in two months, I got married last year, I am classifified as permanet disable.
Social security said when I got married that my husband income had nothing to do with my medi-cal benefits. I received a form in the mail for medi-cal annual redetermination form, and they want to know all kinds of questions about my household income. He owns properties and has a saving account, and I do not have anything in my name.
My question is if I do not return the questionaire would I now have to pay the monthly deductible for premium of $88.00; currently no premiums are deducted from my check. I have Scan and medi-care is my supplemental health insurance , they pay what medi-cal does not pay.
The questionaire states that if not receive back your medi-cal benefits will be stopped. Does that mean all together or that I will have to pay the premiums?

If you don't send back the questionnaire, you lose the insurance, it's as simple as that.

There are three different types of insurance; medi-med, medi-cal, and and medicare.
Medical if you are married both incomes have to be less than $3000 per month. Medicare is not based on income, you can qualify if you are disable at any age. If you do not return the questionnaire automatically you will be disqualified for benefits. Social Security will not deduct the $99.00 premium from your monthly check before you receive it in the mail.
