Starting January 1, 2015, Santa Clara County became the sixth California county to move forward with the Coordinated Care Initiative (CCI), including the federally-approved dual eligible demonstration project known as Cal MediConnect.
The CCI fundamentally changes the way that California dual eligible beneficiaries and other low-income seniors and persons with disabilities get their health care. Justice in Aging is providing a webinar training series to inform and educate advocates across California of the upcoming changes and help them understand how their clients will be impacted by the CCI.
The webinar covered
- What is the CCI?
- Who is affected by the CCI?
- How are beneficiaries affected by the CCI in Santa Clara County?
- How does enrollment work in Santa Clara County?
- What can advocates do to help their clients?
