Subject: ADHC Extension Approved by CMS

Today, the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) approved the state's request to extend the elimination date of the Adult Day Health Care (ADHC) benefit to March 1, 2012.  This allows the state necessary time to implement the new Community-Based Adult Services program, which will provide meaningful medical care to former ADHC participants with intensive health care needs, and help them remain independent in their communities.

 

The CMS approval letter will be posted to our website at http://www.dhcs.ca.gov/Documents/CA%2011-035%20Approval%20Letter.pdf.
