Item 03-05-01F
ACWDL 03-12 -- February 21, 2003 (Synopsis):  Medi-Cal Intercounty Transfers (ICT)

This ACWDL discusses at length the Medi-Cal ICT process. It states that counties must ensure that there is no interruption of benefits during the ICT process. It states that counties may not ask or require a beneficiary to reapply for Medi-Cal or make a redetermination of Medi-Cal solely due to the change in residence.

This ACWDL adds that counties shall not require the beneficiary to complete a new application or cooperate with a full eligibility review until the next annual redetermination as determined by the previous county of residence.

This ACWDL describes a new ICT process. It gives examples of case situations and sets out responsibilities for the sending and receiving counties. This new process is effective immediately.
