§ 11024 Medi-Cal Enrollment Data Reporting

This law says the state must put easy-to-understand tables online every month showing how many people are in Medi-Cal, including kids, families, and others, broken down by things like age, gender, and where they live.

Key Takeaways

  • •The state must update these tables every month starting in 2002.
  • •The tables must show info for kids, families, and others separately.
  • •The info must be easy to find and understand, with no fancy downloads needed.
  • •You can see how many people are in Medi-Cal in your county and if the number is going up or down.

Example

A parent wants to know how many kids in their county are getting Medi-Cal.

They can go to the state's website and find a table that shows the number of kids in Medi-Cal, sorted by age, gender, and ethnicity, and see if the number is going up or down each month.

How to Calculate

Percentage change = [(Current month's enrollment - Previous month's enrollment) / Previous month's enrollment] * 100

  1. Find the number of people enrolled in a category (like kids in Medi-Cal) for the current month.
  2. Find the number of people enrolled in the same category for the previous month.
  3. Subtract the previous month's number from the current month's number.
  4. Divide that result by the previous month's number.
  5. Multiply by 100 to get the percentage change.

In January, 500 kids were enrolled in Medi-Cal in a county. In February, 550 kids were enrolled.

Result: Percentage change = [(550 - 500) / 500] * 100 = (50 / 500) * 100 = 10%. So, enrollment went up by 10%.

§ 11024 Medi-Cal Enrollment Data Reporting

(a) Commencing March 1, 2002, the State Department of Health Services shall, monthly, post on the Internet Web site maintained by the State Department of Health Services 10 tables on the number of persons enrolled in the Medi-Cal program. These tables shall include one table on the number of children enrolled in all categories of the Medi-Cal program, by ethnicity, gender, and age, to the extent that data is collected, for 12 months of data. The tables shall provide different breakdowns of the Medi-Cal population by the various aid code categories. Some of the tables shall differentiate between the family-based Medi-Cal programs where eligibility is conditioned upon the presence of a child or pregnant woman, and nonfamily-based Medi-Cal programs where eligibility is conditioned by the presence of aged, blind, or disabled persons. Some of the tables shall provide enrollment levels for the family-based programs differentiating between beneficiaries in cash-related Medi-Cal programs and beneficiaries in noncash-related Medi-Cal programs. Some of the tables shall also include 12 months of data. (b) The State Department of Health Services shall display on its Web site the information required by subdivision (a) by both statewide totals and county-by-county breakdowns, and shall show the percentage increase or decrease in each county by month and by year. (c) The information posted on the Web site maintained by the State Department of Health Services pursuant to this section shall be posted in a format that is simple, not technical, does not require downloading, and is likely to be easily understood by the general public. (Added by Stats. 2001, Ch. 276, Sec. 2. Effective January 1, 2002.)
