As of 3/24/14, CalHEERS is able to process change of circumstance redeterminations. This letter directs counties to proceed with converting old potential MAGI-linked cases to MAGI cases using the instructions contained therein. This is not to affect existing pre-ACA cases until their 2014 annual redetermination.
If a pre-ACA case submits a change of circumstance, the county will request additional tax household information and process for MAGI eligibility through CalHEERS. If MAGI-eligible, the county will review the determination for potential negative action (e.g., ineligibility, share of cost, restricted scope of benefits) before approving for MAGI Medi-Cal.
The letter also presents a list of new Medi-Cal aid codes and their corresponding pre-MAGI codes.
