Medi-Cal Consulting cares about the People and the families they are helping. Thank you Lisa, Vinny, Monica and Josephine for your continued support with my Mother throughout her Medi-Cal needs. You are experts in your craft but also such supports with this system which for most (like myself) are lost and confused. You treated our family with respect and when there were increases in annual fees or unknowns, got on the phone and explained with just simplicity the whys and support to gain approval through our family. For anyone reading this post, trust Medi-Cal Consulting Services and the people that work there. They are wonderful. From my family to yours and especially from my Mom. Thank you! read more

Medi-Cal Consulting is exceptional! They are professional, knowledgeable, tenacious and trustworthy. After more than a year of being crushed, confused and rejected by Medi-Cal, we hired Medi-Cal Consultanting and they went to bat for us and WON! I highly recommend them. read more

Medical Consulting Services is a company that specializes in getting people approved in Medi-Cal like me and my wife. People who works there are all dedicated to their jobs. Especially Josephine Lopez who personally handles our case. We got denied on the first time but she didn't stopped and didn't gave up until me and my wife finally got approved. Thank you Josephine. Special thanks to Lisa the founder and owner of the company for a job well done. read more

ZERO STARS! I made an appointment several weeks ago to talk with Lisa about my mother's situation... Lisa the owner of Medi-Cal Consulting Services called me 21 minutes after our appointment time. When I brought up the fact that Ihad been waiting over 20 minutes, because she did not, she proceeded to inform me that there was a "disclaimer" in the appointment setting email they sent me that said her call may be 15-20 minutes late. That email was sent to me several weeks ago. A courteous and professional move would have been to apologize for being 21 minutes late in calling me REGARDLESS of the email. A simple THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE would have gone a long way. That definitely set us off on the wrong footing. We spoke for a few minutes and I mentioned that I spoke to another consultant a few months ago at a different agency so had some knowledge but I certainly didnt profess to be an expert and the timing wasn't right back then. She quickly quipped "who did you talk to, who are you shopping me against"? Then was offended that I could not recall the company name... I mentioned I'd be happy to look it up but later. Toward the abrupt end to our call, after she told me her price of $3,000 to apply for MediCal for my mom and then a subsequent $1,000 annually and all the services she'd provide, she spoke of protection in the Case Management she would provide; and potentially stepping in to file appeals when the State of California erroneously changes things and on an individual's plan. I proceeded in asking questions about how many cases she manages (which she could not tell me) and what percentage of them needed her team to "step in" to file appeals... She couldn't answer either and got offended and argumentative. As a somewhat intelligent person, I was simply trying to assess my risk with Medi-Cal and assess the value of the perceived protection her team would provide for the $3,000 Initial fee and then $1,000 redetermination fee annually. I was simply trying to gather information to make the best decisions for what my mother needs. I was appalled when she got all bent out of shape, abruptly ended and hung up on me. I am just glad my elderly mom wasn't on the call. ***ZERO STARS*** read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about Medi-Cal Consulting Services. I have worked with them personally now for nearly two years as well as my daughter. The entire staff is amazing. They are kind, attentive, compassionate, professional and that is just to name a few. The owner, Lisa, knows the law like the back of her hand and will go to bat for you if by chance something is a miss. That of course has never been the case for us. Lisa picks a great staff who follows up with you and keeps you posted as promised. You never get told promises that are unfulfilled. If you don't understand something, the staff will explain until you do all while keeping such a kind composure. ( I'd probably be fired in a day) Thank you Lisa and staff and Kathleen. Our family is forever grateful for your services. read more

I spoke about 30 minutes with Lisa Ramsay the owner who was so incredibly helpful and generous with her time. She ultimately did not think I needed her services, but connected me with some great resources and advice. read more

I am 59 year old unemployed cancer patient already in MADI-CAL. out of my fear possibility losing my benefit for some issue I called them to ask to see if I could be client at 9:05 4/23/2025. All her answer was "ask MEDI-CAL'' even after I told her I already did and did not get clear answer. She almost cut conversation short and hang up on me. what a dissapointment. read more

This review is long overdue. Lisa and Tyra have been nothing short of amazing. Lisa is a wealth of knowledge and has been an incredible resource from day one--even during the consultation before any commitments were made. She provided simple and straightforward answers to the questions I had prepared. Tyra has been our case manager since then and has gone above and beyond to make sure we are set up for success by communicating diligently with the state. They even checked in with us when we were struggling with some administrative issues with a facility just to make sure we were OK. It is obvious that both Tyra and Lisa care a lot about their clients. This service is money well spent and well earned. read more

Lisa and her team at Medi-Cal Consulting services are very professional and helpful. The information that Lisa provides during the consultation are highly valuable. This is a must have service for anyone who is looking to apply for Medicare and Medi-Cal. read more

I had a consult with Lisa Ramsey of Medi-Cal Consulting Services last week - and I'm so grateful and relieved to have found her. Before the consult, the first step was to fill out a quick questionnaire and schedule an appointment date. Second, I had a quick call with someone to verify information about income, assets, etc. Then, there is a required video they ask you to watch before the consult. My consult with Lisa was so helpful. I've been in a state of stress for months worrying about multiple family members. And after speaking with her about one of them (my uncle), I was left with a much better understanding of potential options but also what I needed to do next to see how they could best help him. It's such a huge relief to know they can help and that they're there when we're ready. I highly recommend scheduling a call with them if you're even thinking you or a loved one might need to apply for Medi-Cal. read more

They got my Medi-Cal back! No problems so very nice and took care of everything! I didn't have to stress! Kathleen mad me feel so comfortable and cared about! I thank you all so much! read more

My review is long but worth the read to really show how good Medi-Cal Consulting Services truly is. If you need Medi-Cal please read this!!! You will not regret it. My dad had a big stroke in August and was in the ICU for 2 months with a lot of complications. At the time my dad only had Medicare. The social services representative from the hospital immediately told us that we were going to need Medi-Cal because my dad was going to need a lot of medical services if he was ever going to have a chance of some recovery. Medicare was only going to cover 100 days of nursing care. The Social Services person gave me a phone number to call some agency, in Los Angeles that would help us apply. I called them and went through a screening process of a few minutes. Once I told them that my dad had a rental property, they said they could not help us, and my dad would never qualify. We were left feeling very helpless and stressed thinking of how we would cover the medical bills. My dad improved to the point of being discharged after almost 10 weeks of being in the hospital and was sent to an Acute Hospital. So we began to worry as the 100 days of coverage began without my dad's health improving. The social worker at the acute nursing asked about Medi-Cal and again stated that we were going to need it. I told her about the place we called, and she suggested that we speak with an Elder Care Attorney. I called an attorney she suggested in Torrance. We met with him and his plans to get my dad coverage were shocking. His first suggestion was to have my parents divorced and have my dad's property changed to my mom as the only owner. My mom was immediately disgusted by this suggestion. The second plan he suggested was to have the property gifted to me. I later called my tax guy and was told what the severe tax repercussions and headache this would be. Also, the cost the attorney was charging to help was very high. Needless to say we left that place and never even thought of calling him back. I looked on YELP for another Elder Care Attorney. I found one in OC. I called and told them my story. They suggested I call Medi-Cal Consulting Services. My first reaction, I told them "No, I already called a different consulting service, and they said my dad would not qualify, I need an attorney." The attorney said "Call Medi-Cal Consulting Services!!!!" So, I called. I went through the screening process with Lisa and was told they would come up with a plan based on my dad's situation, income, property, assets, etc. and would get back to me. Adrianna was assigned to my case. She told me her plan and it was nothing crazy like the attorney had suggested. The county dragged their feet on the application and Adrianna fought for my dad, filed appeals until my dad was able to get his application accepted. Unfortunately, he did pass away before we could use any of the benefits. I called Adrianna and told her of my dad's passing. I asked her if we could now focus on my mom and get her the Medi-Cal coverage. They got on it right away and incredibly enough, less than 3 weeks after she started on my mom's case, she now has Medi-Cal coverage! This was the most stressful time of my life. But I am eternally grateful to Medi-Cal Consulting Services, especially Adrianna who fought hard for my family. Thank You so much!!!! Herrera Family read more

We reached out to Lisa R. when our mother had a stroke last year and we know she would not be applicable for Medi-cal until the law changed in 2024. We needed guidance as to solutions for that current year 2023 as well assistance with the application for 2024. Lisa was professional, direct and available for all our questions and provided options. Once we all agreed on a plan, we started working with Galilea. She was great and handled all the applications and any appeals we needed. Galilea was friendly, patient and very efficient. She walked us through the process and like Lisa, was available for any questions. With the help of MCS, our mother qualified and received Medi-cal and everything worked out. We are very happy and appreciative of the staff at MCS, especially Lisa, Galilea and Josephine. read more

I would give 0 stars if i could. I had appointment today and the rep was about 40 minutes late. When i complained about this they chastised me and said the the email they sent said they may be a little bit late. I said 40 min is not a little bit late to which i was told "Read the email". The rep gave me irrelevant information about Veterans benefits and continued to push on despite me saying I already looked into this. The reps manner swung like a pendulum veering from nice/chatty to rude and insulting. When i gave her yearly totals for income she told me i should have spent the 40 min while i was waiting getting the numbers ready for her. At this point I hung up. Save your $2000 and go to someone who treats their customers with professionalism and respect. read more

Josephine; a more compassionate specialist cannot be found! Josephine, thank you for standing for and caring about the outcome of those needing guidance. You are a crucial part of the Lisa Ramsey team and much appreciated. read more

I'm very disappointed I did not find them sooner. I was struggling for months trying to get a family member into long term care and had no guidance of what Medi-Cal covers. The online questionnaire gives them a great understanding of your situation and they expertly guide you through what you can do next. Before I was at the mercy of strangers online who all have very particular situations they deal with so it's hard to say what works for your situation. They really cater to you and try to give you as much knowledge as possible going forward. Please keep telling your friends and family about them, they are a huge help!!! read more

all i can say is the company is phenomenal. they told me what they could do for my wife and I and they delivered exactly what they said they would and exactly on time. kathleen is fantastic and is aware of what we need before i call her regarding questions medi-cal has. read more

Like other reviewers, I also reached out to Lisa during the most stressful period of my life, and she and her team provided me the first moment of peace that I've had in over 3 months. I've been through a uniquely challenging situation, as both my parents suffered significant health issues at the same time, resulting in ER visits, nursing homes, home care, and long-term planning x2. I had hit what I thought was a black-hole of hopelessness when I was given Lisa's info. There are so many crazy rules and interpretations of Medi-Cal, and even though I consider myself fairly adept at figuring things out, I knew that trying to navigate Medi-cal alone would result in wasted time (which I don't have - I still work full time and have my own family!) and wasted money (which I definitely don't have!) - not to mention, comprising the quality of care my parents would receive while I try to learn through trial-and-error how to play the Medi-Cal game. I initially spoke to Josephine, who is one of the many angels at this company. She was incredibly compassionate and competent. Her patience and kindness was just what I needed. Within just a few days of first contact, Lisa accelerated her appointment with me, as she understood the gravity of my situation at the moment. She provided invaluable insight immediately, and a path towards a financially sustainable care plan for my parents. I have just begun my engagement, but already feel such a huge weight lifted. I look forward to sharing future updates here as plans fall into place. Thank you Lisa & Josephine! read more

Great company awesome services they helped and assisted so much Lisa was awesome so good to get helpful information and they help you even if you opt for non-paid for services they still give information and will assist with process bottom line they help you regardless of your ability to pay thank you so much so grateful thank you so much... read more

If I could give 10 STARS I would! THANK YOU to Lisa Ramsey & Sandy Dimond. My family is so grateful to the team at Medi-Cal Consulting Svcs ("MCS") and their assistance and guidance qualifying for Medi-Cal benefits. They are highly knowledgeable of Medi-Cal and how it works and getting individuals qualified. We personally worked with Sandy and she didn't skip a beat fighting for our family, providing professional and loving care at each step of communication and submitting the necessary documents needed for qualification. Simple answer, don't try to handle Medi-Cal on your own - give MCS a call and let the professionals navigate the process for you, accurately. We've already recommended MCS to others and will continue to do so! Again, thank you!! read more

My name is Kathy Parrino and my friend Mario Piccirillo would like to express our grattitude for all the services rendered from Medi-Cal Consulting Services, Inc. Starting with Lisa Ramsey who runs the company and who was the main person who guided and provided me with all the proper information in order for me to file an appeal with the state of California. Through all Lisa's emails and phone calls We were able to appeal with the proper information and evidence and presented to the judge; where the judge ruled 100% in Kathys' favor. Without Medi-Cal Consulting Services, Inc., instructions, guidance, and knowledge, we've never would've been able to present a strong case to the judge and win it. So, thanks Lisa Ramsey for all your help. Your advise helped us win our case. KP & MP read more

What an EXTRAORDINARY resource Medi-Cal Consulting Services is to the most vulnerable among us! I can't thank Lisa, Michelle, Sally and the rest of her staff who were extremely kind and helpful in enabling us to be sure no Medi-Cal services would be lost due to receipt of a large one time payment. THANK YOU!! read more

I work in the healthcare field and one thing that I find, very often, is that people are misinformed about their current benefits and/ or their eligibility for benefits they need... like Medi-Cal. When I have any senior who is confused about Medi-Cal, has some assets they don't know how to explain or just wants to make sure that they do the application correctly/ compliantly then I send them to Lisa and her team!! :) Our whole office sends seniors to MediHelper.com each week If you are unaware, Lisa and her team are all skilled in the world of Medi-Cal... and several of her core team have worked for the state of California in the Medi-Cal office which is how they know so much... well, those years of experience in the state system as well as years of her private work helping seniors get Medi-Cal. Short version, if you have a loved one OR clients who have questions about Medi-Cal then it is worth it to have them talk to someone on Lisa's team. If that person has been denied before or doesn't believe that they could possibly qualify for Medi-Cal then it is still worth talking to Lisa's team... they are Medi-Cal wizards :) read more

Lisa and her staff are kind and caring individuals. They have great knowledge and understand the Medi Cal system to give you peace of mind in these difficult times with getting help for our elderly loved ones. I tried and could not do it on my own in finding what my loved one was entitled to in going into a nursing home through MediCal. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Lisa and helping me. It is well worth every penny spent! read more

I'm using my friend's (Karen) Yelp account since I don't have an account with Yelp. Anyway, found out my mom has cancer and was worried my mom might not be able to continue qualifying for Medi-cal. I called medihelper and Lisa picked up the phone and helped guide me with exactly what my mom needs to do. 10/10 service. Thank you so much Lisa. read more

Do not hesitate to reach out to Medi-Cal Consulting Services. As someone who needed help navigating the application process to obtain Medi-Cal long term care for my elderly mother, Medi-Cal Consulting was a god-send. It is difficult navigating state/federal systems (all-the-run-around, no call backs, etc.) I have always received a prompt reply WITH solutions for my inquiries. It is good to know that their service exists to help translate a lengthy and often-confusing process. In other words (layman terms), it is good to have a reliable resource and know I am not alone. read more

Lisa answered all of my questions, she was so professional and very helpful. she provided me with many resources and phone numbers. I highly recommend her if you have any questions regarding rights and benefits that is related to medical matters. read more

Their team exemplifie - Ethical / Efficient/ Caring & Hospitable service that's of value to the general public.

Lisa and her group were very helpful , taking away the stress. They are very knowledgeable and proactively.

I can't thank everyone Medihelpers enough. Last spring, after my sister was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease and Dementia, I became her primary caretaker. I was told that in order to get her more help she would need to apply for Medi-Cal. I spent the next nine months chasing dead ends, starts and stops. It was extremely frustrating and time consuming. I was finally directed to Medi-Cal consultants. Every person I have interacted with has been kind, understanding and extremely helpful. We have been able to get things taken care of quickly. They made an extremely difficult situation so much easier. I highly recommend them to anyone that is in need of getting Medi-Cal for themselves or a loved one. read more

SCAM! Save your money. These people are incompetent. The owner is rude and brash. The CFO (if he exists) declines emails, calls, and certified letters. I hired an attorney. They submitted my first application BLANK. Just deal with the county yourself and save the $5000. read more

For a person (and others) that have entered a season where a loved one has transitioned to heaven and privileged to receive tangible benefits (such as myself), the expertise and services provided by Lisa Ramsey's company are INVALUABLE It can range from properly organizing one's affairs to the most intangible ways - giving needed info to provide Peace of Mind, like what Lisa did for me. Thankful that I was privileged to have been recommended to her by the Shomer Law Group and display many characteristics of my mom such as giving (as noted at https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CaYIgoduXV0) and highly valued (as noted at https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zQX0gLaApJs) It is fantastic that her business is thriving while getting business through referrals/word-of-mouth - Exclusively read more

I used this office for a revocable trust and to get on medi cal. Excellent service from Sandi Diamond.

Horrible customer service I have been on the line for about two hours and they keep putting me on hold !

Lisa provided detailed help so that I can get services for my family member, including forms needed and how the process works. She is a wealth of information, kind, compassionate, and responds in a timely manner. I highly recommend Medihelper and Lisa for getting Medi-cal services for a loved one. read more

I have had the privilege of working with Lisa and the staff for many years. I have worked in the senior care industry for 35 years and often come across people who are confused by Med-Cal and the application procss. My first and only referral for people in this situation is Medi-Cal Consulting Services. I even call when I have questions myself about Medi-Cal. I highly recommend Lisa and her staff to anyone who is facing this challenge. They are kind, considerate and will give you straight answers to your questions. You do not need to face this daunting situation alone. Call these experts to help you. read more

I have known Lisa for many years & have recommended her to many of my clients who have needed guidance & advocacy. She helped me understand a little more about the Medi-Cal world, & working as a Geriatric Social Worker for many years, my colleagues and I have benefited from having Lisa & Medi-cal Consulting Services as a vital resource! If you need a guest speaker to educate staff, her expertise having worked with Medí-cal will not disappoint! read more

I was dealing with a complex matter involving coverage for my wife's father, who fell sick shortly after arriving in California from another state. Medi-Cal responded instantly and helped me greatly, taking a person to person interest in our situation far beyond what I expected. They are the best! read more

Ms. Ramsey and her MCS team are simply remarkable. They listened to our problems and patiently explained all the options. They make it very easy to navigate a very complex government bureaucracy. I can't imagine trying to qualify a loved one for Medi-Cal without their assistance. I can't recommend the MSC team highly enough. read more

This company deserves 10 stars, in particular Erica Cruz. She handled not only qualifying our family member for medical but also dealt with the care facility After a ruling not favorable to us Erica took it a step further & contested the ruling & thankfully she was successful in retrieving the result we had hoped for originally. I cannot praise her enough. This situation took several months & she kept us updated every step of the way. Working with Erica was a pleasure. I highly recommend this company to deal with all the paperwork necessary in qualifying someone for medical. read more
