1 Department of Health Care Services California Health Care Options 3130 Kilgore Road, Sacramento CA July 18th, 2012 Dear Health Plan Participant, The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), Medi-Cal Managed Care Division (MMCD) has requested MAXIMUS to create a new process to report denied Medical Exemption Requests (MERs) and Emergency Disenrollment Requests (EDERs) to Health Plans for beneficiaries who subsequently enroll into a particular Plan. Denied MER/EDER data files will be accessible on the California Health Care Options Secure Data Exchange Services (SDES) website ( Note: plans will only receive MER/EDER denial data if the beneficiary has been enrolled into a Health Plan within 30 days of the date on which the MER/EDER was denied. When a beneficiary is enrolled into a plan, a record will also be present in the Weekly Plan File (WPF). If there is no MER/EDER denial activity for beneficiaries enrolling into a particular plan, an empty MER/EDER file will not be posted to the SDES. The MER/EDER data files will be posted to the SDES on a weekly basis on the same schedule as the WPF. The 2012 file posting schedule is available for download from the SDES website by clicking on the 2012 File Posting Schedule link. The MER/EDER files will be placed in the same location as the WPF. You may obtain an updated copy of the SDES User Guide which contains instructions for accessing the MER/EDER data files from the SDES website by clicking on the User Guide* link. Authorized Plan representatives who have access to the WPF will also have access to the MER/EDER files. New users must complete a SDES Account Request or Access Change Request form to be allowed access to MER/EDER data. A copy of the SDES Account Request or Access

2 Change Request form can be downloaded from the SDES website by clicking on the Request or Change Access link. The record layout for the MER/EDER data file is provided as an attachment to this letter. MAXIMUS has posted sample MER/EDER data files on the SDES in the individual plan folders. Health Plans are encouraged to download and review the files and submit any technical questions to MAXIMUS via (please use a subject line of MER/EDER data file ). Live files will be available on the SDES starting on Monday July 30 th, Sincerely, HSGill Harry S. Gill, for DHCS Information Systems Director, MAXIMUS CA HCO
