The U.S. government has approved California's overhaul of the nation's largest insurance program for low-income and disabled residents, officials said Wednesday, Dec.
Aside from covering one of every three Californians, Medi-Cal covers more than half of school-age children, half of births in California, and more than two of every three patient days in long-term care facilities, officials said. Medi-Cal benefits will not change. But what are known as “enhanced care management services” can now include a “care coordinator” under Medi-Cal managed care plans.
Medicaid services will now for the first time formally include substance abuse treatment, including short-term residential treatment when needed. The federal approvals also renew a statewide funding pool for care provided to California’s remaining uninsured residents, such as those served by public hospitals.
The new approvals also restore coverage of chiropractic services for Indian Health Service and tribal facilities, coverage that had been eliminated in 2009.
