Medi-Cal Explained: A CHCF Resource No images? Click here THE CHCF WEEKLY May 18, 2022 Medi-Cal is an essential source of coverage for Californians with low incomes, including children, people with disabilities, and low-wage workers who may not get affordable health insurance through their jobs. For seniors with low incomes, Medi-Cal covers what is not covered by Medicare, including nursing home care. In 2019, CHCF launched Medi-Cal Explained, an ongoing series that describes how this important program provides coverage and care for one in three Californians. CHCF has added resources to this collection over the last three years. Recently, two new briefs were released, both addressing payment to health centers: Medi-Cal Explained: How Health Centers Are Paid and Medi-Cal Explained: What Are Alternative Payment Models? These two papers are part of a dozen resources that can be found in CHCF’s Medi-Cal Explained collection. From the Blog
