Starting January 1, 2023, a number of important changes will impact the way individuals dually eligible for Medicare and Medi-Cal and older adults on Medi-Cal receive their health care in California. The changes include those that are part of California’s five-year initiative, California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM), and the implementation of new federal policies from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
This webinar will provide an overview of these changes and their impact on the approximately 1.4 million dual eligibles and low-income older adults in the state.
In this webinar, we will cover:
- The termination of Cal MediConnect and the transition of Cal MediConnect enrollees into Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs)
- Mandatory enrollment into Medi-Cal managed care for all dual eligibles throughout the state
- The carve in of Medi-Cal’s long-term care benefit into Medi-Cal managed care plans
- Transition of dual eligibles out of D-SNP look alike plans
