For Medi-Cal members newly eligible for Medicare
Medi-Cal members who become newly eligible for Medicare will be automatically enrolled in CareAdvantage starting on February 1, 2025.
This is part of the Department of Health Care Services’ (DHCS’s) Medicare Advantage Default Enrollment Pilot. DHCS chose HPSM as one of only three health plans in California for this pilot that makes members’ healthcare simpler with:
- Easy change to CareAdvantage with no sign-up or lengthy enrollment.
- More benefits and coverage than members get with our Medi-Cal only plan. Learn more about the benefits of having CareAdvantage membership.
- Care Management — Care plans that will better support members with the Medi-Cal providers members already see.
If you have questions about the default enrollment, contact the CareAdvantage Unit.
