August 10, 2012 – AB 2206 (Atkins) has passed the Senate Appropriations Committee and is moving on to a vote on the Senate Floor. The bill would require the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) to include PACE — the Program of All-Inclusive Care For The Elderly — as one of the alternatives to Medi-Cal managed care in the eight counties where the CCI pilot is starting. If enacted, consumers will see the PACE alternative in the packets and on the forms that DHCS mails to dually eligible Alameda County residents starting in the fall of 2013.
