Calif. Exchange Seeks Federal OK for Medi-Cal ‘Bridge’ Plan

Covered California, the state's health benefit exchange, is seeking federal approval to establish a "bridge" plan for people who go in and out of eligibility for Medi-Cal, California's Medicaid program. The plan -- which could cover as many as 670,000 residents -- would help beneficiaries maintain their same Medi-Cal plan and health care provider.
