California’s Section 1115(a) Medicaid waiver, titled Medi-Cal 2020, was approved by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on Dec. 30, 2015, and is effective through Dec. 31, 2020. The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) intended to implement the California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM) initiative following the end of the waiver period. However, as shared previously in CHA News, the COVID-19 public health emergency has delayed the implementation of CalAIM to focus on addressing the pandemic.
