California is implementing a Duals Demonstration under the Coordinated Care Initiative

The passing of the Coordinated Care Initiative (CCI) is a catalyst for three key changes in California healthcare in the 8 selected counties: California CCI Legislation Mandatory enrollment into a Medi-Cal health plan Mandatory transition of Medi-Cal Long Term Services and Supports (LTSS) to Medi-Cal health plans Voluntary transition of Dual Eligibles into a Demonstration plan (passive, with opt-out) 3

As a result of CCI, what changes for Medi-Cal Benes?

• Most Medi-Cal beneficiaries will have to join a Medi-Cal health plan for benefits like: o o o o Long Term Services and Supports (LTSS) Non-emergency transportation (medically necessary) Incontinence supplies Some medical equipment that Medicare doesn’t cover.

• Dually Eligible beneficiaries can join the Duals Demonstration and get ALL of their healthcare from one health plan (Medicare and Medi-Cal benefits) • Dually Eligible beneficiaries can opt out of joining a health plan for the Medicare portion of their services. They will have to remain in a health plan for their Medi-Cal services
