Adjudicate claims pertaining to the Provider Reimbursement Program and the Implementation of the Conlan v_ Shewry court case. The Conlan v_ Shewry lawsuit requires the Department to process claims and reimburse eligible class members. Class members include Medi-Cal beneficiaries who should have received reimbursement for In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) covered services for which they paid. This applies to Medi-Cal recipients who have valid claims arising on or after June 27, 1997.
The Provider Reimbursement Program enables CDSS to reimburse IHSS providers directly, removing the requirement of the IHSS recipients to pay their providers. This applies to IHSS providers who have valid claims on or after July 1, 2014.
