Outreach & Education

The Outreach & Education team offers billing-specific education and support services to Medi-Cal providers and billers, to help providers navigate Medi-Cal and receive timely reimbursement for services.

Outreach and Education support services include Provider Field Representative assistance, the Small Provider Billing Assistance and Training Program, and a variety of billing focused training events and online courses via the Medi-Cal Learning Portal. These free support services are structured to help providers to understand billing policies and processes, and how to submit Medi-Cal claims for payment using manual and electronic billing systems.

Provider Training Events

Provider training includes a variety of venues. Provider training events offer basic and advanced billing courses for all provider types. At our Provider Seminars and in the Virtual Claims Assistance Room (VCAR), we offer free billing assistance, and providers are encouraged to bring their billing issues to receive individual assistance from a Provider Field Representative.

All training events will be posted in the News area at medi-cal.ca.gov and on the Medi-Cal Learning Portal Event Calendar at least 30 days prior to the event. Please refer to the event postings for specific billing topics. Providers interested in attending any training must register through the Medi-Cal Provider Learning Portal Event Calendar.
