Covered California 1332 Waiver


Covered California's Section 1332 State Innovation Waiver Draft Application


Covered California's Section 1332 State Innovation Waiver Public Forum

As part of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), an option for states called a “Section 1332 State Innovation Waiver” offers states the flexibility to modify portions of the ACA based on guidelines set forth by Health and Human Services (HHS).

Covered California is exploring options for pursuing a 1332 Waiver and held a public forum on February 23, 2016. Written comment can be submitted through March 1st to 1332@covered.ca.gov. Please provide as much specificity as possible about your proposal including how it meets the federal standards related to scope of coverage, comprehensiveness of coverage, affordability and federal deficit neutrality. Also state whether you are recommending your proposal for consideration in the near term (i.e., for a 1332 waiver application in 2016) or beyond.

Material from the February 23rd public forum is available on the Meeting page. Check frequently for new items to be posted.
