Rescinding Medi-Cal discontinuances with timely information

DHCS issued a letter reminding counties to process promptly information received after a discontinuance notice is sent but before the date of discontinuance or during the 90-day cure period.  Counties must restore Medi-Cal benefits even with an incomplete renewal form and follow ex parte review procedures to determine continued eligibility.  Only after the review and evaluation for all programs is a new discontinuance notice appropriate.  DHCS MEDIL I 15-22 (8/13/15).
