SUMMARY:Medi-Cal Explained: An Overview of Program Basics
DESCRIPTION:Medi-Cal is the foundation of California’s health care safety net and a major component of the state’s budget. It covers nearly half of California’s children and residents with disabilities\, one in five California workers\, and more than a million California seniors. \nCalifornia has a new governor\, as well as new representatives in the State Senate and State Assembly. Together\, these leaders are tasked with providing oversight of the Medi-Cal program and for making policy decisions about its direction. Among the issues they’ll need to address are ensuring the program is strong and sustainable for the millions of Californians who rely on it for coverage\, continuing to focus on the future of care integration and delivery system transformation pilots that are currently financed through the state’s Section 1115 waiver\, which expires in 2020\, and making sure the state is getting the best value from its managed care program. \nUnderstanding the policy and programmatic issues facing Medi-Cal requires knowledge of the basics of the program. In this briefing\, the first in a series sponsored by CHCF\, experts will provide an overview of Medi-Cal\, including the people it serves and the services it provides\, as well as the organization\, oversight\, and financing of the program. Jennifer Kent\, director of the Department of Health Care Services\, will also offer thoughts about its future. \nSpeakers \n\n\nJacey Cooper\, Senior Advisor\, Health Care Programs\, California Department of Health Care Services \n\n\nAssmaa Elayyat\, Senior Policy Analyst\, County Welfare Directors Association \n\n\nScott Graves\, Director of Research\, California Budget and Policy Center \n\n\nLindy Harrington\, Deputy Director\, Health Care Financing\, California Department of Health Care Services \n\n\nDeborah Kelch\, Executive Director\, Insure the Uninsured Project \n\n\nJennifer Kent\, Director\, California Department of Health Care Services \n\n\nChris Perrone\, Director\, Improving Access\, CHCF \n\n\nKristof Stremikis\, Director\, Market Analysis and Insight\, CHCF \n\n\nMargaret Tatar\, Principal\, Health Management Associates \n\n\nTuesday\, Feb. 12\n10 a.m. -2p.m.\nSacramento Masonic Temple\, 1123 J Street\, Sacramento\n\nThere will be a webcast and\, on Feb. 9\, the California Health Care Foundation will publish a series of documents (called Medi-Cal Explained). \n\nGet more information and register here.
