Executive Summary
The Affordable Care Act anticipated that consumers would have to transition from different forms of coverage, such as from Medicaid to marketplace coverage, as their eligibility changed. As a result, the law required that coverage programs coordinate to ensure a seamless transition without burdening enrollees. This month’s Lessons from California highlights how Covered California enrollees were transitioned to California’s Medicaid program and the advocacy that happened over Christmas Eve.
