The 2024-25 Budget: Medi-Cal Analysis
The Governor also proposes to extend a limited‑term fee‑for‑service supplement payment to nonhospital clinics for providing abortion services.
Sets New Payment Requirements on Managed Care Plans. In addition to increasing and changing the structure of fee‑for‑service payments, the proposal also would enact new requirements on managed care plans. For example, managed care plans would be required to pay the same fee‑for‑service rates for primary care, obstetric care, non‑specialty mental health care, specialty health care, and emergency physician services. As another example, plans would be required to increase their hospital patient and emergency room payments by 10 percent to 40 percent, similar to the proposed interim fee‑for‑service rate increases.
Assessment
Much of Proposal Remains Conceptual. In many ways, the administration’s proposal is conceptual, with key details still forthcoming. For example, the administration also has not determined key details of the proposed equity adjustment. In some cases, the time line to implement changes has not been finalized. Moreover, some aspects of the package—such as augmentations for behavioral health and health care workforce—are forthcoming.
Legislature Has Opportunity to Assess Broad Aspects of Proposal. The administration states that it is planning to release a package of trailer bill legislation on the proposed increases. Over the coming months, the Legislature likely will have more opportunity to weigh the details of each proposed increase. With more information forthcoming, we focus our assessment on the broad architecture of the package.
Proposed Package Raises Several Major Issues to Consider for Medi‑Cal Program
Tying Payment Increases to Medicare Worth Considering… The administration’s proposed approach of tying certain provider payments to a percent of the Medicare level on an ongoing basis has a few advantages. First, such an approach would allow for a more rational basis to adjust rates than what currently exists. Under the current approach, many rates generally are not adjusted annually, allowing them to lag behind inflation. Also, tying these payments to Medicare would address differences across rates that lack a clear policy basis. As a result, the administration’s proposed approach would help mitigate inequities and set forth a consistent approach for annual adjustments.

About Disability Insurance

Disability Insurance (DI) is a part of the State Disability Insurance (SDI) program. It provides partial wage replacement benefits to eligible California workers who are unable to work due to a non-work-related illness, injury, or pregnancy. SDI contributions are paid by California workers through employee payroll deductions.
DI does not provide job protection, only monetary benefits; however, your job may be protected through other federal or state laws such as the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) or the California Family Rights Act (CFRA).
Disability Insurance
Disability is an illness or injury, either physical or mental, which prevents you from performing your regular and customary work. Disability also includes elective surgery, pregnancy, childbirth, or other related medical conditions.
Although work-related disabilities are covered by workers’ compensation laws, DI benefits may also be paid for work-related illness or injuries under certain circumstances. You can learn more about the difference between workers’ compensation and DI.
Disability Insurance Benefit Payments
If you are eligible, you can receive about 60 to 70 percent (depending on income) of wages earned 5 to 18 months before your claim start date. You can be paid benefits for a maximum of 52 weeks. For more information, review Calculating Disability Benefit Payment Amounts.
To receive benefits, you must:

File a claim for DI benefits using SDI Online or by mail.
Complete a seven-day, unpaid waiting period.
Have earned at least $300 in wages that are subject to SDI deductions (“CASDI” on your paystubs) during the 12-month base period of your claim.
Have your physician/practitioner certify to your disability by completing the Physician/Practitioner Certification.

The 2024-25 Budget: Medi-Cal Analysis
Since our office and the administration each produced our most recent projections of Medi‑Cal caseload, DHCS has released additional months of initial redeterminations data and updates to the June 2023 through August 2023 reports that reveal the outcome of most previously pending redeterminations. These recently released data show enrollees being retained in the program at a higher rate than was the case in previous reports. In addition, we now have caseload data through January 2024. While near‑term caseload is still subject to an unusual degree of uncertainty, these updated data now provide a clearer picture of what caseload will look like through the end of 2024‑25. 
About Three‑Quarters of Redeterminations Have Resulted in Renewals. Through December, about three‑quarters of processed redeterminations have resulted in renewals. Assuming that trends observed in recent data continue, we project that the share of enrollees renewed in the program would exceed 80 percent. As of late‑January 2024, only five states and the District of Columbia have renewal rates exceeding 80 percent, based on national redeterminations data compiled by KFF. 
Administration Caseload Estimates Reasonable, but Full Caseload Impact of Continuous Coverage Unwinding Still Uncertain. Based on information available to us through late January, the Governor’s budget caseload estimates are reasonable. Our assessment is predicated on a key assumption—that the increased rates of enrollee renewals shown in recently released data continue. If this assumption does not come to pass, caseload could wind up lower than under the Governor’s budget estimates, resulting in General Fund savings. While we now have a clearer picture of caseload through 2024‑25 than our office or the administration had last fall, waiting to approve any change to the Medi‑Cal budget until after release of the May Revision would be prudent, as the picture will become even clearer by then. We will make our final assessment and recommendations based on the administration’s revised estimates at that time. 
Administration’s Caseload Estimates Possibly an Indication of Positive Impact of Flexibilities… As described earlier, our November Fiscal Outlook projections of Medi‑Cal caseload were based upon our office’s projections of economic and demographic factors.

ACA = Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

Comparison to Recent Administration and LAO Projections. Figure 7 compares caseload estimates incorporated into the Governor’s budget (estimated as of November 2023) with the most recent projections from our office (estimated as of November 2023) and the administration at May Revision (estimated as of April 2023). As shown in the figure, the Governor’s budget reflects a significant upward revision to caseload compared with the administration’s 2023 May Revision estimates. Specifically, the administration now projects caseload will decline to 13.8 million at the end of 2023‑24, about 1 million enrollees higher than for the same month as of the 2023 May Revision. The Governor’s budget also reflects substantially higher caseload than our office projected in our November Fiscal Outlook report. The administration now projects caseload to bottom out at around 13.7 million at the start of 2024‑25, about 1.6 million (12 percent) more enrollees than our projected low point in caseload. We estimate that this higher caseload results in increased General Fund costs of more than $2 billion in 2024‑25 relative to our estimates. 

Assessment 
LAO and Administration November Estimates Completed When Limited Data on Redeterminations Were Available. Statute requires DHCS to submit the Medi‑Cal Estimate (which includes caseload estimates for the upcoming budget year) to the Department of Finance by November 1 (for preparation of the Governor’s budget). This is around the same time our office typically finalizes Medi‑Cal caseload projections for our Fiscal Outlook report. At this time, enrollment data were only available through July 2023, reflecting only one month of redeterminations. In addition to enrollment data, DHCS has published a monthly dashboard and posted its monthly reports to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) that detail initial redeterminations data. The administration indicates that they were able to factor these early redetermination results into their Governor’s budget caseload projections.
