Dual Medi-Cal Enrollment And Medicare Advantage Enrollment In The Medicare Population In California Counties

This data set accompanies the Profile of the California Medicare Population chartbook, published by the Office of Medicare Innovation and Integration in February 2022, and available at (https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/Documents/OMII-Medicare-Databook-February-18-2022.pdf). The three data files in this data set were analyzed from federal administrative data (the Medicare Master Beneficiary Summary File) for beneficiary characteristics as of March 2021. These datasets include: Medicare enrollment, Medicare Advantage enrollment (and its converse fee-for-service Medicare enrollment), dual Medi-Cal eligibility and enrollment (and its converse Medicare-only enrollment), by county. Medicare Savings Program enrollees were considered Medicare-only and not dually enrolled in Medi-Cal. All Medicare Part C beneficiaries, including PACE, Cal MediConnect and Special Needs Plans, were considered to have Medicare Advantage.

DHCS partnered with The SCAN Foundation and ATI Advisory in 2021 and 2022 to develop a series of chartbooks that provide information about Medicare beneficiaries in California. This work is supported by a grant from The SCAN Foundation to advance a coordinated and easily navigated system of high-quality services for older adults that preserve dignity and independence.
