Public health care: Medi-Cal: demonstration projects.
Existing law provides for the Medi-Cal program, which is administered by the State Department of Health Care Services, under which qualified low-income individuals receive health care services. The Medi-Cal program is, in part, governed and funded by federal Medicaid Program provisions. Existing law provides for the Health Care Coverage Initiative, which is a federal waiver demonstration project established to expand health care coverage to low-income uninsured individuals who are not currently eligible for the Medi-Cal program and other specified public health coverage programs. Existing law requires the department, pursuant to federal approval of a successor demonstration project, to authorize a local Low Income Health Program (LIHP) to provide health care services to eligible low-income individuals under certain circumstances. Under existing law, a county, city and county, consortium of counties serving a region of more than one county, or a health authority may be eligible to operate an approved LIHP. Existing law establishes the continuously appropriated LIHP Fund, which consists of moneys transferred to the fund from a participating entity to meet the nonfederal share of estimated payments to the LIHP.
