Duals Demonstration Stakeholder Update

The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) has scheduled two stakeholder meetings regarding the Coordinated Care Initiative (CCI) Transition Plan that will be submitted to the California Legislature in late September.

As required by SB 1008, this programmatic transition plan is being developed with the State Department of Social Services, Department of Aging, and Department of Managed Health Care. The Plan will describe:

• How access and quality of service shall be maintained during and after implementation of the CCI to prevent disruption of services to beneficiaries.
• Operational steps, timelines, and key milestones for determining when and how core beneficiary protection provisions will be implemented.
• The process for addressing consumer complaints, including the roles and responsibilities of the departments and health plans and how those roles and responsibilities shall be coordinated.
• How stakeholders have been included in the various phases of the planning process and how their feedback shall be taken into consideration after transition activities begin.

A draft plan will be posted online in advance of the meetings. The content and format of the meetings will be the same. The only difference is the August 29th meeting will be held in person and via phone.
