Coffee, Chat, and Medicare
An hour of coffee and real conversation. Bring any Medicare question. No slides. No pitch. Just neighbors and answers.
Many retired farmworking and service-industry families in Santa Paula and Fillmore qualify for both Medicare and Medi-Cal — and never get told. Here is how dual-eligible (Medi-Medi) plans work.
If you have Medicare (Parts A and B) and you also qualify for full Medi-Cal in California, you are 'dual-eligible.' That makes you eligible for a Dual-Eligible Special Needs Plan (D-SNP), a Medicare Advantage plan designed specifically for people in your situation. These plans typically include dental, vision, hearing, transportation, and grocery benefits at $0 premium.
California has expanded Medi-Cal in recent years and removed the asset test for most adults 65 and older. That means many Heritage Valley families who would not have qualified 5 years ago do qualify today — but only if they apply. Lourdes runs a free screening on every Santa Paula and Fillmore consultation.
A no-cost consultation in Santa Paula or Fillmore — in Spanish or English — covers everything in 45 minutes. Lourdes will come to the Senior Center, a parish hall, or your kitchen table.
