Gov. Jerry Brown’s 2013-14 state budget proposal, released Jan. 10, includes a delay in implementing the Coordinated Care Initiative (CCI), which will transition individuals eligible for both Medicare and Medi-Cal —dual-eligibles — into managed care. It will also integrate long-term care services and supports into managed Medi-Cal. CCI implementation is now scheduled for September 2013, rather than June 2013 as originally planned. Under the revised timeline, beneficiaries will receive notice of changes no sooner than June 2013. Beneficiary enrollment schedules have also been modified and will vary among the designated counties: in Los Angeles County, enrollment will be phased in over 18 months; in the County of San Mateo, beneficiaries will be enrolled at once; and in Orange County, County of San Diego, County of San Bernardino, County of Riverside, Alameda County, and the County of Santa Clara, enrollment will be phased in over 12 months.
