The 2013 English PCIP/MRMIP Application and Handbook is now available!

(Posted on 12/27/12)

Each year the PCIP/MRMIP Application and Handbook is revised to include the latest program information, new MRMIP monthly premium rates and plan information. The English version of the 2013 PCIP/MRMIP Application and Handbook is now available.

To apply for PCIP or MRMIP, applicants need to complete the PCIP/MRMIP application. All applications received are reviewed for both health care programs; however, an applicant can simply check a box for their preferred health care program choice. If a preference is not selected and an applicant qualifies for both PCIP and MRMIP, they will be enrolled in PCIP.

MRMIP is a state health care program for medically uninsurable Californians that has different eligibility rules, annual deductibles, annual lifetime caps and monthly premium costs compared to PCIP. If an applicant is enrolled in MRMIP, when applying for PCIP they will not meet the requirement of not having health care coverage for at least six months prior to submitting their application for PCIP.

The Spanish version of the 2013 PCIP/MRMIP Application and Handbook will be available early January.
