Counties must accept updated Medi-Cal beneficiary address information from health plans

DHCS has instructed counties that they must accept updated beneficiary contact information from managed care plans.  If the beneficiary approves of the plan doing this, the county must update within 2 days.  If the beneficiary has not approved, the county must contact the beneficiary to get an update within 5 days.  DHCS ACWDL 15-19 (4/16/15).

Counties should also accept this information from Health Care Options immediately, with consent from the enrollee.  DHCS ACWDL 15-20 (4/27/15).
