 With the continuous coverage requirement ending on March 31, DHCS will release updated policy guidance and provide technical assistance as local county offices complete and submit their County Continuous Coverage Unwinding Readiness Plans. Additionally, beginning in February, DHCS will host weekly statewide support calls with local county offices to answer policy and operational questions related to unwinding work efforts.​​ 

The California Budget Act of 2022 appropriated $25 million to DHCS to seek a communications and advertising vendor to implement a broad and targeted education and outreach communications campaign for Medi-Cal members during the continuous coverage unwinding. The vendor will be responsible for implementing a statewide education and outreach communications campaign targeted to California’s over 15 million Medi-Cal members during the COVID-19 PHE and throughout the continuous coverage unwinding period. One of the goals of DHCS’ COVID-19 PHE continuous coverage unwinding outreach campaign is to maintain eligibility for Medi-Cal members by providing outreach materials that inform them about the steps necessary to maintain coverage after the continuous coverage requirement ends.​​
