Section 1115 Medicaid Waiver

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) approved California’s five-year, $10 billion Section 1115 Medicaid Waiver in November 2010, with detailed information available on the State’s Waiver Renewal page. The 1115 Waiver will serve as bridge to federal health reform. In particular, it will provide counties like Los Angeles with the opportunity to expand coverage to uninsured adults in preparation for the Medicaid expansion in 2014, support uncompensated care costs, improve care coordination for vulnerable populations and promote public hospital delivery system transformation.
