DHCS Medi-Cal Aid Category Grouping Schema

This reference table, maintained by DHCS, displays aid code categories by aid code. 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 CHIP, Seniors and Persons with Disabilities, and Long-Term Care. For a description of each aid code, see the [Medi-Cal Aid Code Master Chart](https://files.medi-cal.ca.gov/pubsdoco/publications/masters-mtp/part1/aidcodes.pdf "Medi-Cal Aid Code Master Chart").
