How does a Medi-Cal share of cost affect my IHSS services?
When the IHSS Recipient has a monthly Medi-Cal share of cost, the recipient will be responsible for paying the IHSS service hours that equal their share of cost. Once the monthly share of cost has been paid by the recipient, IHSS will pay the remaining balance. It is often the case that the recipient’s share of cost is greater than the IHSS services authorized and therefore, would not be eligible for the IHSS program.
