Covered California wants to offer 'bridge' plan from Medi-Cal

Sacramento Business Journal
California’s health benefit exchange, Covered California, wants to reach more people in the state who need health insurance. It’s looking for federal approval for so-called bridge plans for people who go in and out of Medi-Cal eligibility. Covered California says as many as 670,000 people in the state could get help if they’re not eligible for Medi-Cal. The bridge plan would provide financial support to help people keep their Medi-Cal plan and keep the same provider, according to a news release.
