Integration of Medi-Cal Access Program into Managed Care

The Medi-Cal Access Program (MCAP) provides full-scope Medi-Cal services for pregnant women between 213% and 322% of the federal poverty level.  Prior to October 1, 2016, MCAP-eligible pregnant women received services through managed care plans and were assigned aid code 0D.  Between October 2, 2016, and June 30, 2017, MCAP-eligible pregnant women have been assigned aid code 0G and receive services through Medi-Cal Fee-for-Service.  Starting July 1, 2017, MCAP-eligible pregnant women will be enrolled into managed care plans under aid code 0E.

All MCAP-eligible pregnant women receive full-scope services until the end of their post-partum eligibility period (the end of the month of the 60th day after the end of the pregnancy).
