The California Tribal Medi-Cal
Administrative Activities (CTMAA) Program offers a way for Tribal Health Programs to obtain federal reimbursement for the cost of certain administrative activities necessary for the proper and efficient administration of the Medi-Cal program.




Examples of reimbursable administrative activities include:

  • Medi-Cal outreach;
  • Facilitating Medi-Cal application;
  • Medi-Cal related referral;
  • Medi-Cal related program planning and policy development;
  • Providing transportation to Medi-Cal services; and
  • General administrative activities

The goals of the MAA program are to:

  • Facilitate outreach to potential Medi-Cal enrollees;
  • Assist children and families in accessing needed Medi-Cal services;
  • Assist and support Tribes and Tribal Organizations to prepare appropriate claims for administrative costs under the Medi-Cal program; and
  • Administer an effective, efficient statewide MAA program.

Transportation:
In January 2009, CMS approved California’s Tribal Medi-Cal Administrative Activities Implementation plan.  In December 2009, CMS approved California’s Tribal MAA transportation invoice.  When providing individuals with non-emergency, non-medical transportation to Medi-Cal covered services, participating Tribal Program’s transporter must keep track of the mileage and actual time transporting.  The following forms must be completed:

  1. Mileage Tracking Log (xls):  to record the number of miles driven in transporting a client or clients.

  2. Time Tracking Log (xls):   must be completed in conjunction with Mileage Tracking Log to record actual time transporting a client or clients.

For information only:

TMAA Transportation Invoice form:  MAA Coordinator completes this form and submits it to the MAA analyst in DHCS for processing the reimbursement.

MAA Specifics:

Non-transportation activities are called MAA specifics.  These activities include Medi-Cal Outreach, Medi-Cal related referral, facilitating Medi-Cal application, Medi-Cal related program planning and policy development, and general administrative activities.  The invoice to be used in this claim is in the process of CMS approval. Therefore, forms for these activities have not been developed.
