Profile of the California Medicare Population

DHCS is partnering with The SCAN Foundation and ATI Advisory to develop a series of chart books that provide information about Medicare beneficiaries in California. The first chartbook, Profile of the California Medicare Population. [1] This dataset provides headcounts of Medicare beneficiaries in each California county in March 2021, and headcounts of the subset of these beneficiaries who were dually eligible and enrolled in Medi-Cal as well as Medicare (not including MSP enrollment). [2] This dataset provides headcounts of Medicare-only beneficiaries (i.e., not Medi-Cal enrolled) in each California county in 2021 (including MSP enrollment), and then headcounts of the subset of these Medicare beneficiaries who were enrolled in Medicare Advantage as opposed to fee-for-service Medicare. [3] This dataset provides headcounts of full-benefit dual Medicare/Medi-Cal beneficiaries in each California county in 2021 (not including MSP enrollment), and then headcounts of the subset of these Medicare beneficiaries who were enrolled in Medicare Advantage as opposed to fee-for-service Medicare.
