Change to Medi-Cal Appointment Period for Authorized Representatives

DHCS issued a letter on November 26, 2014, reminding counties that the appointment of authorized representatives now lasts until a change is made.  This change could be the applicant/beneficiary modifying/cancelling the authorization, the appointment of a new representative, the representative withdrawing, or a change in the law.  Previously, the appointment period lasted for a year.  DHCS MEDIL I 14-57.
