On June 17, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) approved the Medi-Cal managed care rates for state fiscal year (SFY) 2017-18. Even though CMS has never denied a California managed care rate package, its approvals can take on average between one and two years. Unfortunately, with the SFY 2017-18 managed care rates there was a contractual issue that significantly delayed CMS approval and required more than four years to resolve. Copies of the federal approval letters are available on CHA’s Hospital Fee Program web page under Program 5.
