On June 8, DHCS submitted a new demonstration project under Section 1115 of the Social Security Act, entitled California’s Reproductive Health Access Demonstration (CalRHAD), to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. This demonstration will play a key role in advancing California’s progress in providing access to comprehensive sexual and reproductive health services for individuals enrolled in Medi-Cal and other individuals who need access to quality, affordable care.

The Office of Family Planning would like to remind providers that per California Welfare and Institutions Code (W&I Code) section 24005, subdivision (i)(3): “The department shall deactivate,… the provider numbers used by a provider to obtain reimbursement from the program when… a provider has not submitted a claim for reimbursement from the program for one year…” Beginning in September, letters will be mailed to providers who did not submit a claim for reimbursement from the Program from January 1, 2022 through July 1, 2023, to notify them of their impending deactivation from the Family PACT Program for non-billing. Providers receiving these letters will have 30 days to respond prior to being deactivated from the Family PACT Program.
