Cancel my Medi-Cal and Medicaid enrollment. I’m having trouble with my VSP account through my employer because I still have the Medicaid account activated. Please deactivate my account.

A) Unfortunately, I can’t directly cancel your Medi-Cal or Medicaid enrollment or deactivate your VSP account. These are sensitive actions that require your personal information and verification to proceed securely. However, I can guide you through the process and provide the necessary resources to handle each issue separately.

Cancelling Medi-Cal and Medicaid enrollment:

• Contact your local county Medi-Cal office. This is the official and recommended way to cancel your enrollment. They can verify your information and complete the necessary paperwork.
• You can find your local county office contact information on the official Medi-Cal website: https://www.healthcareoptions.dhcs.ca.gov/
• You can also call the Medi-Cal Member Services line at 1-800-543-2273.

Deactivating your VSP account:

• Contact your employer’s benefits administrator. They handle changes to your benefits enrollment, including deactivating your VSP account.
• Explain the situation and mention that your active Medicaid account is causing issues with your VSP enrollment.
• They may require some documentation, such as proof of your canceled Medi-Cal or Medicaid enrollment.

Here are some additional resources that may be helpful:

• Covered California: https://www.coveredca.com/
• VSP Vision Insurance: https://www.vsp.com/
• Medicaid: https://www.medicaid.gov/medicaid/index.html

Important things to remember:

• There may be consequences to cancelling your Medi-Cal or Medicaid enrollment. Make sure you fully understand the implications before proceeding.
• You may need to pay for coverage between the time you cancel your Medi-Cal or Medicaid enrollment and the time you activate your VSP account.
• Consider other options available to you for health insurance. Covered California may offer affordable plans that meet your needs.

I hope this information helps!
