New! Medi-Cal Rx Transition Will Go-Live Saturday, January 1, 2022
Effective Saturday, January 1, 2022, the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) will change how the Medi-Cal pharmacy benefit is administered and a new pharmacy benefit contractor, Magellan Medicaid Administration, Inc. (Magellan), will provide services and support. The new program will be called “Medi-Cal Rx.” The Alliance will no longer be the administrator for the pharmacy benefit. There will be no transition and all providers will be required to use the Medi-Cal Rx portal starting Saturday, January 1, 2022.
