NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the County Medical Services Program Governing Board (Governing Board) will hold two (2) public hearings to consider proposed program changes that will result in the expiration and termination of the Governing Board’s pilot project, Path2Health, and elimination of eligibility for the County Medical Services Program (CMSP) and Path2Health program services for certain individuals and the elimination and reduction of certain health care services currently provided by CMSP and Path2Health; to consider the adoption of proposed amendment to regulations of the Governing Board concerning CMSP and Path2Health; and, to consider all evidence and testimony for or against the approval and adoption of the proposed program changes and Governing Board regulations.
At the day, hour, and place of the hearing, any and all persons having any comments on or objections to the proposed program changes or amendment to regulations may appear before the Governing Board and be heard. These public hearings will be held at the following dates, times and locations:
August 22, 2013 CMSP Governing Board Conference Room 1451 River Park Drive, Suite 213 Sacramento, CA 95815
September 26, 2013 CMSP Governing Board Conference Room 1451 River Park Drive, Suite 213 Sacramento, CA 95815

CMSP and Path2Health provide health coverage to low-income uninsured adults in thirty-five California counties. ... These public hearings by the Governing Board are being conducted to consider evidence and testimony regarding proposed changes in eligibility, reductions in or elimination of specified health care services, and proposed changes to Governing Board regulations.
The proposed reductions of specified eligibility for CMSP and Path2Health, a two-year Low Income Health Program (LIHP) pilot project, and certain health care services provided by CMSP and Path2Health are necessitated by: (a) changes in federal and state law that expand health coverage for low- income adults up to 138% of the federal poverty level under the Medi-Cal program and provide subsidized health coverage for uninsured persons up to 400% of the federal poverty level under Covered California, a publicly funded subsidized health coverage program; (b) the end of the State of California’s Section 1115 Medicaid “Bridge to Reform” Waiver authority for establishment of LIHPs, including Path2Health, on December 31, 2013; and, (c) a reduction in overall funding for CMSP beginning January 2014 that will result from the loss of State Health Realignment funding (composed of State Sales Tax and Vehicle License Fee revenues) for CMSP, as a result of changes adopted in the FY 2013-14 State Budget. ...
