Opportunity for Public Comment

The California Department of Healthcare Access and Information (HCAI) has released an amended draft of the Participant Directory Policy and Procedure.  

 

 

Substantive changes proposed in this amendment for which HCAI is seeking public comment include: 

  • Clarifying that Participants exercising the option to delay Exchange are required to update their Participant Directory choices no later than ten (10) business days after establishing the capability for Access or Exchange 

Administrative changes also proposed to align with newly defined terms include: 

  • Replacing all instances of “Notification of ADT Events” with “Event Notification 
  • Capitalizing “skilled nursing facility” to “Skilled Nursing Facility” to reflect its defined term 

NOTE: Stakeholders who wish to object to HCAI’s determination that the above changes are administrative may submit their objection and explanation of the basis for the objection in the same DxF Comment Template Excel file as described below. 

HCAI is soliciting public comment on the proposed changes in the amended draft through 5:00pm PT Monday, October 5, 2026. Additional details with guidance on how to prepare and transmit comments are provided below.
