The following FAQs are subject to change based on regulatory changes, requirements, and
additional guidance from the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) and the
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
DHCS, in conjunction with CMS, is launching a three-year demonstration to enroll beneficiaries who are covered by both Medicare and Medi-Cal (dual-eligibles) into managed care health plans. Enrollment in the Dual Eligible Demonstration, now known as Cal MediConnect, begins no sooner than January 1, 2014, in eight counties (Alameda, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Mateo, and Santa Clara). Eligible beneficiaries will begin receiving notification of changes and choices starting in October 2013.
The goal of Cal MediConnect is patient-centered care. DHCS, CMS and their plan partners want to improve access to care, coordination of services, ensure continuity of care and increase availability and access to home- and community-based services, so beneficiaries have better health outcomes and remain in their homes and communities as long as possible.

After Cal MediConnect enrollment begins, eligible beneficiaries may voluntarily enroll or opt out at any time without waiting for their assigned month of passive enrollment.
