Information for Beneficiaries
On January 1, 2023, Cal MediConnect plans transitioned to Medicare Medi-Cal plans (MMPs or Medi-Medi plans) provided by the same companies that provided Cal MediConnect plans. These Medi-Medi plans are designed to coordinate care for people with both Medicare and Medi-Cal.
Medi-Medi Plans
Medi-Medi plans offer an integrated approach to care and care coordination that is like Cal MediConnect. Medi-Medi plans deliver all covered benefits to their members, including medical and home- and community-based services, as well as medical supplies and medications. Members receive integrated member materials, such as one integrated member ID card.
The January 2023 transition occurred in all Coordinated Care Initiative (CCI) counties – Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Mateo, and Santa Clara. For a list of Medi-Medi plans available in California in 2023, visit the
2023 Medicare Medi-Cal Plan List webpage.
Enrollment Notices
Beneficiaries received notices from their CMC plan about the transition in October 2022.
90 Day Notice
CMC Plans in the seven counties sent a mailing containing a 90 Day notice and two inserts: commonly asked questions, referred to as the Notice of Additional Information (NOAI) and a list of other integrated health care coverage options (including integrated D-SNPs and PACE).
45 Day Notice
In November 2022, CMC Plans sent a notice 45 days in advance of the transition, along with the NOAI.
Get Involved
Statewide
Stakeholders can participate in the
Cal MediConnect to MMP transition by joining the monthly
CalAIM Managed Long-Term Services and Supports and Duals Integration Workgroup, which is open to the public. The workgroup is a collaboration hub where stakeholders can offer feedback to the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) and engage in discussions related to the policy, operations, and strategy for the D-SNP transition.
Stakeholders can also participate in county-based Communications Workgroups. Communications Workgroups offer a neutral platform for stakeholders to discuss the Cal MediConnect transition and D-SNP expansion. They are currently offered in six of the CCI counties:
- Los Angeles
- Orange
- San Diego
- Inland Empire (Riverside & San Bernardino)
- Santa Clara
If you are interested in joining any of the local Communications Workgroups, please email Cassidy Acosta at
