The department shall encourage counties to outstation additional Medi-Cal eligibility workers in nontraditional sites, such as schools, private hospitals, clinics, mental health centers, sites providing services under California Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children sites, and community-based organizations. The department shall permit counties to redirect a portion of existing funding for Medi-Cal eligibility administration for this purpose. The department shall require counties that redirect funds to provide an annual report on the cost of the additional outstationed workers and their effectiveness in increasing or facilitating Medi-Cal enrollment. Expenditures under this section shall be subject to the availability of federal financial participation, and shall not cause an increase in the allocation of funds for the administration of the Medi-Cal program.
