DHCS provides an overview of backlog batch processes

In this letter, DHCS walks through the various efforts the state has made to expedite processing and eligibility for applicants waiting for eligibility determinations throughout the ACA era.  Of the described batches, the state is still processing the following batches:

  • Processing applications for short term negative actions due to the absence of such functionality in CalHEERS;
  • Transition to Medi-Cal cases from Covered California annual redetermination period; and
  • Accelerated enrollment for cases that have not been processed within 45 days since the second open enrollment period.

The letter includes a graph describing each batch process and relevant state instruction letters.  DHCS MEDIL I 15-05 (3/5/15).
