California AB2081 expands Medi-Cal's Home and Community-Based Alternatives Waiver to increase enrollment and improve care coordination.

California AB2081 amends the Welfare and Institutions Code to enhance the Medi-Cal Home and Community-Based Alternatives (HCBA) Waiver. The bill requires care management contractors to enroll at least 60% of participants from institutional settings or those continuously receiving in-home care services. It mandates coordination between health, social, and long-term services, and aims to prevent institutional placements and emergency room visits.
