Comprehensive, free of charge dental and vision care available through Medi-Cal

Many Medi-Cal beneficiaries are unaware of their vision and dental benefits and those services are often underutilized as a result, California Department of Health Care Services officials said during a virtual briefing last week.  

Preventative care is important to avoid serious complications in the future and beneficiaries should get eye and dental examinations, said Dr. Donny Shiu, vision program chief, and Dana Durham, dental division chief.
