Health Care Practice Tip – July 2021: Accelerated Enrollment Now Live for More Medi-Cal Applicants

For our July Health Practice Tip, Accelerated Enrollment Now Live for More Medi-Cal Applicants,” we partnered with two extraordinary Medi-Cal champions, Maternal and Child Health Access and Lucy Quacinella of Multiforum Advocacy Solutions, to give you the details of the expansion of Accelerated Enrollment to pending applications for MAGI Medi-Cal programs.  Accelerated Enrollment (AE) provides conditional, full-scope eligibility to new Medi-Cal applicants while the county collects income or other verifications.  That means certain applicants can begin using their Medi-Cal while their application is pending and lasts until a final eligibility determination is made. The AE expansion is a result of the settlement agreement in Rivera v. Kent and over seven years of advocacy to fight Medi-Cal application backlogs and enforce timeliness standards in eligibility determinations.
