Aid Code Grouping Schemas

This reference table, maintained by DHCS, displays aid code categories by aid code as they are utilized in datasets pertaining to live births. Aid codes identify the criteria by which each person qualifies for Medi-Cal and the types of services he or she receives, and make clear whether the services are funded by the State or Federal government or both. An aid code is a combination of two numbers or a letter and a number and is attached to a Medi-Cal beneficiary’s identification numbers. Aid code category refers to a unique grouping of distinct aid codes into broad categories such as Adoption/Foster Care, Blind/Disabled, and Families.
