All rights reserved. Medi-Cal Rx: Your Medi-Cal pharmacy benefit As of Jan. 1, 2022, your prescriptions are paid by Medi-Cal Rx instead of by KFHC. Why did it change? KFHC is your Medi-Cal managed care plan. In 2019, California Gov. Gavin Newsom made a rule that Medi-Cal pharmacy benefits would stop being managed by Medi-Cal managed care plans like KFHC and start being managed by Medi-Cal Rx. How do I fill my prescription? Remember to take all your health plan ID cards with you to the pharmacy when filling your prescriptions. This includes your Medi-Cal card, KFHC ID card, and any other health coverage card you may have. What if I have questions? For any questions about your pharmacy benefits, please call the Medi-Cal Rx Call Center Line at 800-977-2273. They are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
