CalHEERS issues with Medi-Cal scope of services for immigrants

DHCS issued clarification about the CalHEERS issues regarding scope of services for certain immigrants.  The new release of CalHEERS uses two data fields for scope of services.  If both fields (Citizen and Eligible Immigrant) are marked “no” or left blank, CalHEERS will grant restricted scope benefits.  Counties have been instructed to ensure that workers do the appropriate verifications.  Counties also must assess how much of a problem has occurred and fix problems as appropriate, including providing a proper notice.  DHCS MEDIL I 15-20 (8/11/15).
