Medi-Cal Member Advisory Committee Virtual Meeting
The committee meeting focused on the mandatory transition of Medi-Cal members with Unsatisfactory Immigration Status from managed care plans to fee-for-service, as required by new federal guidance effective in 2027. Key discussion points included the differences between fee-for-service and managed care, impacted versus non-impacted populations, and the loss of access to certain managed care-specific services like Enhanced Care Management and Community Supports. The presentation outlined Department of Health Care Services' efforts to support members during this transition, upcoming changes related to immigration status reclassification and eligibility criteria, and resources available to members for navigating complaints and appeals.
