The California Medicaid program, called Medi-Cal, is the largest in the Nation in terms of program beneficiaries. During 1981, California had one of the most generous Medicaid programs in the country in terms of eligibility and covered services. At the same time, there were benefit limitations and reimbursement restrictions in place that were designed to restrict program expenditures. The data in this report were provided by the State to the Health Care Financing Administration as part of the Medicaid Tape-to-Tape Project. Data from Michigan and New York are also included for comparison purposes.
