is the amount of money a person must pay or incur in medical services
in a given month before receiving Medi-Cal benefits. A share of cost
is like an insurance deductible. People on Medi-Cal with a share of
cost must meet the resource limits for Medi-Cal ($2,000 for an
individual and $3,000 for a couple) but may have incomes above the
monthly income limits.
If your monthly income is higher
than the limits to qualify for SSI or the A&D FPL program (see
above), but you meet the asset-level requirements, you may still be
eligible for Medi-Cal with a share of cost (SOC). An SOC functions
like a deductible. You must pay this amount in any month you incur
medical costs. After your SOC is paid, Medi-Cal will pay the
remaining amount of your medical bills for that month. A share of cost can be
met by paying a monthly Share of Cost Spend
Down is the amount a beneficiary has to spend for medical care
before Medi-Cal will begin to pay. The term “spenddown” is also used
to describe spending down of excess countable resources ($2,000 for
an individual and $3,000 for a couple) in order to qualify for Medi-Cal.
