UCLA Survey: Dual-Eligibles Want Consistent Coverage During Transition to Managed Care
California residents who are eligible for both Medi-Cal -- California's Medicaid Program -- and Medicare want consistency in coverage and access to care as the state transitions them into managed care health plans under the Cal Mediconnect program, according to a survey conducted by UCLA researchers. On April1, the state began the process of moving about 455,000 dual-eligibles in eight counties to their new plans.
