Throughout the year, the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) and the new Fiscal Intermediary for Medi-Cal, Affiliated Computer Services (ACS), will conduct Medi-Cal training seminars. These seminars, which target both novice and experienced providers and billing staff, will cover the following topics:

• Changes to Medi-Cal billing
• Basic and advanced billing issues
• Provider-specific billing questions
• Specialty programs such as California Children’s Services (CCS)

The next seminar is scheduled for January 31, 2012, through February 1, 2012, at the Ontario Convention Center in Ontario, California. Providers can access a class schedule and RSVP for the seminar on the Billing and Claims page of the Medi-Cal Learning Portal (MLP).  

Providers are encouraged to bookmark the Provider Seminar Calendar page of the MLP and refer to it often for current seminar information.

Providers may also schedule a custom billing workshop by contacting their Regional Representative in one of the following ways:

• Call Medi-Cal at 1-800-541-5555 and request to be contacted by a representative.
• Use the Lookup Regional Representative tool on the MLP.
