Enhancing Federal Financial Participation for Consumers Served by the Department of Developmental Services—An Interim Update

Apr 19, 2021 - Of DDS consumers enrolled in Medi-Cal, a total of 71  percent were either enrolled in the waiver (about 132,000) or eligible for 1915(i) SPA reimbursement (about 48,000). Among DDS consumers who were enrolled in Medi-Cal, but not receiving waiver or 1915(i) SPA reimbursement, most did not receive a service that would make them eligible for the waiver or for 1915(i) SPA reimbursement.
