Summary of Request:
With this Agreement, the Mendocino County Health and Human Services Agency aims to improve the percentage of community health center patients who successfully complete the renewal process for Medi-Cal coverage. The project is intended to reduce attrition rates for our Medi-Cal population, thereby ensuring timely access to primary health care needs and thus improve health. The Department of Health Care Services, Medi-Cal Eligibility Division, has provided this funding to counties through the implementation of SB18 to provide Medi-Cal outreach and renewal assistance services to our County’s residents. The Agreement period is July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2018.
