Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services

Also known as “CMS”.

The Medicare-Medicaid Coordination Office within CMS is dedicated to ensuring that all persons who are eligible for both Medicare and Medi-Cal have access to seamless, high-quality long term services and supports.  It is the federal office overseeing California’s implementation of the Coordinated Care Act and Cal Medi-Connect.  This link provides basic information about the office as well as links to reports, fact sheets, and other general information.
