DMH to DHCS Medi-Cal Transfer 2011-2012

Background:

Assembly Bill (AB) 102, which Governor Brown signed into law on June 28, 2011, requires the transfer of Medi-Cal related mental health functions from the Department of Mental Health (DMH) to the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) by July 1, 2012. This is not a change in mental health benefits or eligibility. AB 102 requires DHCS to submit a transition plan to the California Legislature by October 1, 2011, and stakeholder input is critical to our development of this plan. There will be a series of meeting with stakeholders, and the links below will take you to the materials for each meeting, as well as other information.

Review stakeholder comments and suggestions regarding the transfer of Medi-Cal Related Specialty Mental Health Services to DHCS: http://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/medi-cal/Pages/MentalHealthTransitionStakeholderCommentsandSuggestions.aspx

For additional information about the transfer of Medi-Cal from DMH to DHCS, please visit the DHCS website: http://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/medi-cal/Pages/Medi-CalMentalHealth.aspx

DHCS has also established a special email address for individuals to submit comments and suggestions for this transition. The address is DHCSMHMEDI-CALTRANSFER@DHCS.CA.GOV.
