This follows a $526 million investment in 2024, with the goal of retaining providers and covering uncompensated care. As up to 3 million Californians—250,000 in Orange County—could lose coverage by 2028, CalOptima is also funding $3.6 million in community grants to help people stay enrolled and $20 million to expand Medi-Cal sign-ups.
