I got booted off of Medi-cal, but I am now under the income limit. I need some advice since people at the TAD office don’t seem to know.

I'll do my best to explain this. I got booted off of IEHP Medi-cal. for being way over the limit in March.

Now it's April, and for April I'm under the limit and will be until September.

I have a referral out to see a specialist of a specialist for surgery. If I lose Medi-cal, I'll have to restart that whole 6 month process over again with another insurance (getting a new primary / referrals and so on).

I have been told to go to covered CA, and I got a lot of covered CA paperwork, but I have not yet signed up for a covered CA plan.

I went to the TAD office, and they said because I've already been referenced out, that if I do reapply for Medi-cal I'll have to start all over again with a new primary and get referrals all over again.

Here is my question

Can I somehow continue to keep my medi-cal covered and not lose it since I technically am still on it for the rest of April and I am now under the income limit for April? TAD tells me no, but there has to be a loophole.

It really, really sucks getting all the referrals I need taking all that time off of work just for it to poof away.
