The move is part of CalAim, the state’s managed care delivery system and payment reform initiative, according to a Dec. 13 news release from the medical association.
The Department of Health Care Services said the transition will increase the level of care coordination and support offered to dual-eligible beneficiaries, while maintaining beneficiary choice for Medicare providers and plans, according to the release.
The California Medical Association said the transition will not affect patients’ Medicare coverage or change beneficiaries’ benefits or providers.
