Why won't the accept my Medi-Cal?

I'm looking for a therapist that accepts Medi-cal. I HAVE MEDI-CAL. I HAVE found some that say they accept medi-cal. But, everyone that I've gotten ahold of says they won't accept MY medi-cal. Why might this be? Thank you.

They are all in my state of California, and again, they say they accept medi-cal just not mine.

    Medi-Cal is Medi-Cal... call the phone number on your card and discuss your issue with them.

    Since welfare medical plans pay so poorly, many providers will take a certain amount, then stop taking when they meet the minimum needed to be considered a state provider.

    You have to be able to pay your rent/lights/water/employees etc. and the pay from the state is so low and takes so long, it just hard to take everyone.
