What Does “We Accept Medi-Cal” Mean?

Khang Pharmacy accepts Medi-Cal Rx for eligible prescriptions. However, accepting Medi-Cal does not mean that every medication, product, quantity or refill request is automatically covered.

Prescription coverage may depend on factors such as the medication, member eligibility, refill timing, quantity limits, coverage criteria, prior authorization requirements and other Medi-Cal Rx rules.

If a claim does not process as expected, our team can review the claim response available to the pharmacy and help identify what may need to happen next.

Medi-Cal Rx Frequently Asked Questions

Common Prescription & Insurance Questions

Medi-Cal prescription coverage can sometimes be confusing. Select a question below for information about common situations patients may encounter when filling prescriptions through Medi-Cal Rx.

1. Getting Started With Medi-Cal Rx Eligibility, Insurance Information & Prescription Processing

Does Khang Pharmacy accept Medi-Cal?

Yes. Khang Pharmacy accepts Medi-Cal Rx for eligible outpatient prescriptions. Coverage depends on member eligibility, the medication, prescription requirements and applicable Medi-Cal Rx rules.

What should I bring when filling a Medi-Cal prescription?

Bring your current Medi-Cal or insurance information and identification when applicable. If transferring prescriptions, it is helpful to have your previous pharmacy information and a current medication list or medication bottles.

I recently received Medi-Cal or changed insurance. What should I do?

Tell the pharmacy that your coverage has changed and provide your current insurance information before your next prescription is processed.

Can I transfer my prescriptions to Khang Pharmacy if I have Medi-Cal?

Yes, many eligible prescriptions can be transferred. Transfer requirements depend on the medication, prescription and applicable rules. Call us and we can help determine the appropriate next step.

2. When Medi-Cal Does Not Pay for a Prescription Rejected Claims, Coverage Rules & Formulary Questions

My doctor prescribed the medication. Why isn't Medi-Cal paying for it?

A valid prescription does not automatically guarantee insurance coverage. A medication may have requirements involving prior authorization, quantity, refill timing, the covered product or other coverage criteria.

Khang Pharmacy can review the claim response available to the pharmacy and help explain what it indicates.

What does it mean when my prescription is "not covered"?

A rejected claim does not necessarily mean that the medication can never be covered. The response may indicate that additional information, prior authorization, a different covered product or another action is required.

What is the Medi-Cal Rx Contract Drugs List?

The Medi-Cal Rx Contract Drugs List, or CDL, is one of the resources used to determine outpatient drug coverage. Coverage requirements can differ depending on the medication and circumstances.

Why was my medication covered before but rejected now?

Eligibility, refill timing, quantity, the prescription, coverage requirements or other claim information may have changed. The pharmacy can review the current claim response to identify the issue being reported for that fill.

3. Prior Authorization (PA) When Medi-Cal Needs Additional Review

What is prior authorization?

Prior authorization, commonly called PA, means additional review is required before coverage can be approved for a particular medication or product. A PA requirement does not automatically mean that the medication has been permanently denied.

Who handles the prior authorization?

Depending on the situation, the prescriber or pharmacy may participate in the prior authorization process. Clinical information from the prescriber may be required. Khang Pharmacy can review the claim and, when appropriate, help coordinate with the prescriber regarding the information needed.

How long can prior authorization take?

Review timing depends on when a complete request is received and whether additional information is needed. The time a patient waits can therefore be longer than the formal review period if the request is incomplete or has not yet been submitted.

What happens if the prior authorization is not approved?

The next step depends on the reason for the decision and the patient's circumstances. The prescriber may need to provide additional information or consider another appropriate treatment option. Patients may also have rights regarding certain coverage decisions.

4. Refills, Quantity & Medication Availability Refill Too Soon, Travel, Lost Medication & Supply Issues

Why does my claim say "refill too soon"?

Prescription coverage generally considers when the previous supply was dispensed before paying for another fill. If there has been a dose change or another qualifying circumstance, additional processing or authorization may be necessary.

I am traveling and need my medication early. What should I do?

Contact the pharmacy well before your trip. Early refill options depend on the prescription, medication, refill timing and applicable coverage requirements. Some situations may require coordination with the prescriber or Medi-Cal Rx.

What if my medication was lost or stolen?

Replacement requirements can vary depending on the medication, prescription and circumstances. Contact us so we can review the specific prescription and claim situation.

Why will insurance only cover a certain quantity?

Certain medications may have quantity or dispensing limits. If the prescribed amount exceeds an applicable limit, additional authorization or another action may be required.

What if my medication is out of stock?

Medication availability can change. We can review the availability of the prescribed product and discuss appropriate next steps. Some changes may require involvement from the prescriber.

5. Brand, Generic & Other Medication Questions Product Selection & Coverage

Can I get a brand-name medication when a generic is available?

Coverage of brand-name versus generic medication depends on the prescription and applicable Medi-Cal Rx requirements. Additional authorization may be necessary in some situations.

Does Medi-Cal Rx cover over-the-counter medications?

Certain over-the-counter products may be covered when applicable Medi-Cal Rx requirements are met. Coverage is product-specific, and a prescription or additional authorization may be required for some products.

Does accepting Medi-Cal mean every prescription will be free?

No. Accepting Medi-Cal Rx means Khang Pharmacy can process eligible Medi-Cal Rx prescription claims. It does not mean every medication, product, quantity or refill request automatically meets coverage requirements.

6. Getting Help With Your Medi-Cal Prescription Pharmacist Support, Prescribers & Vietnamese Assistance

Can Khang Pharmacy contact my doctor if there is a prescription problem?

When appropriate, we can communicate with the prescriber regarding refill requests, prescription clarification or information needed for certain coverage situations. The prescriber and insurance program remain responsible for decisions requiring their authorization.

Can Khang Pharmacy explain why my claim was rejected?

Yes. We can review the claim response available to the pharmacy and explain what it indicates. Depending on the situation, the next step may involve the pharmacy, prescriber, Medi-Cal Rx or updated member information.

Is Vietnamese-language support available?

Yes. Vietnamese-language support is available for patients who need help understanding prescriptions, refills, Medi-Cal Rx questions and Khang Pharmacy services.
