<p>State and CSU employees can also log in to <a href="https://my.calpers.ca.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">myCalPERS</a> and visit <strong>Health Vesting</strong> under the <strong>Health</strong> tab. If you’re within five years of your minimum retirement age you can use the <strong>Health Into Retirement Calculator in your myCalPERS account</strong>. This tool allows you to review the state’s share of premium based on the current year plan premiums.</p>
<p>While the premiums change each year based on the approved rates, the state’s contribution changes annually too, providing a good estimate to plan for your health in retirement.</p>
<p>Employees of public agencies and schools should contact their employer to determine if health vesting applies to them and to find out how many years of service credit is needed to receive the employer’s contribution toward their premium.</p>

COVID-19 Testing At VA | Veterans Affairs
We follow testing guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
At this time, we don’t charge copays for COVID-19 tests. But if you get the test during an appointment with a health care provider, you may have a copay for the appointment.

How to schedule your lab test
The fastest way to get a test is to request an appointment. You can request an appointment in any of these 3 ways: 
Send a secure message to your VA primary care provider.Request a test appointment through secure messaging
Request an appointment for a test with your VA primary care provider online.Request a primary care test appointment online 
Or call your VA health care team. Find your VA health facility’s phone number to request a test appointment 
Note: Don’t come in person to a VA health care facility without an appointment, unless you need urgent or emergency care. This helps us keep you and your fellow Veterans healthy and safe.

What to know when you come for your test appointment

We screen everyone who enters a VA health facility for COVID-19 symptoms.
You must wear a mask that covers your nose and mouth while you’re in a VA health facility.
If you have any symptoms that could be COVID-19, call the facility before you come in for your test appointment.

How to get your lab test results
We usually have test results in about 1 to 2 days.
If you were tested at a VA health facility and you have a Premium My HealtheVet account, you can get your test results online as soon as we have them. If you don’t have a Premium My HealtheVet account, you can get one now. 
Learn how to get your results through My HealtheVet  
Your VA or community care provider will also call you with your test results when they’re available. If you have concerns about your results, call or send a secure message to your provider.

What to do while you wait for your results

Continue to follow safe practices. These include practices like wearing a mask, physical distancing, and washing your hands often. Until you get your results, you won’t know if you have an active infection or not.
Monitor your symptoms.

The 2024-25 Budget: Medi-Cal Analysis
To set these rates, DHCS included both existing base rates and Proposition 56‑supported supplemental rates. The rates also were set at the lowest regional Medicare rate. (Medicare varies its rates for California among 32 localities, intended to reflect differences in regional cost.) As an exception, DHCS did not adjust rates (after accounting for Proposition 56 funds) that already exceeded the Medicare benchmark.
Managed Care Plans Have Longer Time Line to Adopt Payment Increases. State law also requires managed care plans to pay at least the same as the fee‑for‑service rates for these services. Implementing these rate increases will not be a simple task for many plans, as they will have to update their payment systems and provider contracts. Accordingly, DHCS has signaled that plans will have several months to comply with the new requirements. Specifically, plans with fee‑for‑service payment arrangements with providers will not be required to implement the rate increases on a go‑forward basis until July 31, 2024. However, plans also will be required to make retroactive payments from January through July 2024, with those payments due by the end of October 2024. For plans that make contracted monthly payments to other plans and providers, plans must attest to DHCS that their payments align with the new policy by the end of December 2024. DHCS indicates that it will provide more guidance to plans on how to implement the provider rate increases in these arrangements at a future date.

Legislature Tasked Administration With Developing Plan for Remaining Increases. The trailer bill legislation did not set forth what augmentations would be supported from the remaining MCO tax funds. Rather, the legislation directed the administration to propose which augmentations to support as part of the 2024‑25 budget process. The legislation stated intent that the proposal advance access, quality, and equity for Medi‑Cal beneficiaries and promote provider participation in the Medi‑Cal program. The legislation also specified which areas should be increased. As Figure 12 shows, these areas cut across several parts of Medi‑Cal and health programs.
