Medi-Cal is changing.Finding careshouldn't be a guess.

On January 1, 2027, many Medi-Cal members leave their health plan and have to find doctors on their own. Plaid Orca lives on your health center's website and tells each patient what changed, who nearby will actually see them, and what to do next.

What's happening with your Medi-Cal?

Pick the one that sounds closest. We don't ask for your name or any personal information.

Rather talk to a person?

The state's list says who can bill. Not who will see you.

California publishes every provider enrolled in Medi-Cal Fee-for-Service. It can't tell a patient who is taking new patients, how long the wait is, or whether anyone at the front desk speaks their language. Its own search tool tells people to call and confirm. Your staff already make those calls. Plaid Orca makes every answer count.

Illustrative example

Three questions, in the order a patient asks them.

Written for someone holding a confusing letter, on a phone, possibly in Spanish. Every screen ends with something to do.

  1. What's happening to me?

    They pick the situation that sounds closest. No forms, no login, no questions about status.

  2. Did I lose my coverage?

    A plain answer first, then a ZIP code. That's the only thing we ask for.

  3. Who will see me, and what do I do?

    Their own clinic first, confirmed-open providers next, and one clear next step.

Built for the health centers patients already trust.

Patients see your name, your clinic and your phone number. Your team gets a workspace that turns the calls they already make into answers every patient can use.

On your website in two lines

Paste it into any page. It sizes itself, works on phones, and only loads on the domains you approve.

<div data-plaidorca data-org="your-clinic"></div> <script src="https://plaidorca.com/embed.js" async></script>

Your name, your clinic first

Your colors, logo, help line and welcome message in Spanish and English. Your nearest site is always the first result.

A call log that patients can see

Search any ZIP and specialty, call the office, record what they said. Patients see it immediately. Your notes stay with your team.

See what your community needs

Which kinds of care people search for, from which ZIP codes, and where searches come up empty. Never who searched.

One call helps every clinic.

When a referral coordinator in one county confirms a specialist is taking new patients, a patient searching from a different clinic's website sees it too. The more health centers join, the fewer calls anyone has to make.

Staff at Clinic A log a call. The shared provider list updates. Patients on Clinic A, Clinic B and Clinic C websites see the confirmed listing.Clinic A stafflog a callShared list27,000+ locationsConfirmed openClinic A sitepatients see itClinic B sitepatients see itClinic C sitepatients see it

Clear about what it does, and what it doesn't.

Built for people who may be wary of sharing anything. Nothing about it requires trust it hasn't earned.

It does

  • Explain the Medi-Cal change in plain Spanish and English
  • Show primary care, counseling and 14 specialties near a ZIP code
  • Show when a listing was confirmed, and by whom
  • Give one concrete next step for every option
  • Point to a person at the clinic when a situation isn't covered

It doesn't

  • Ask for a name, birth date, Medi-Cal number or immigration status
  • Decide whether anyone is eligible for Medi-Cal
  • Book appointments or promise a provider has an opening today
  • Track individual patients or referrals
  • Replace a navigator, a county office or a doctor

Questions health centers ask

Who is affected on January 1, 2027?

According to the California Department of Health Care Services, Medi-Cal members with unsatisfactory immigration status move from Medi-Cal health plans to Medi-Cal Fee-for-Service on January 1, 2027. That includes undocumented members, some green card holders in the five-year waiting period, and people considered PRUCOL.

They keep full-scope Medi-Cal if they renew on time. What changes is that no health plan assigns them a doctor or manages referrals anymore.

Does the widget collect personal information from patients?

No. Patients don't create an account and aren't asked for a name, date of birth, immigration status or Medi-Cal number. A search records the type of care and the ZIP code, so health centers can see what their community needs. Nothing else is stored.

Where does the provider information come from?

Every listing starts from the state's own file of providers enrolled in Medi-Cal Fee-for-Service, refreshed monthly. When staff at a participating health center call an office and log what they heard, that listing shows as confirmed, with the date, for every patient on every participating site.

Does Plaid Orca decide whether someone is eligible?

No. It explains the change in plain language and points people to care and to a person who can help. Eligibility decisions stay with counties and the state.

How does a health center add it to their website?

Two lines of code, pasted into any page: WordPress, Squarespace, Wix or plain HTML. The widget uses the health center's name, colors, logo and help line, starts in Spanish or English, and shows their nearest clinic first. They can limit which websites are allowed to load it.

What does it cost?

Pricing depends on the number of sites and staff seats. Request access and we'll send a proposal for your organization.

Bring it to your patients before January.

Tell us about your organization. We'll set up your account and have the widget on your site the same week.
