Medi-Cal Administrative Activities (MAA)

Medicaid Administrative Match (MAM), or Medi-Cal Administrative Activities in California, is a federal reimbursement program for costs of “administrative activities” that directly support efforts to identify, and/or enroll children/individuals in the Medi-Cal program or assist those already enrolled in Medi-Cal to access benefits. The overarching policy for MAA is that allowable administrative costs must be directly related to the California State Medi-Cal Plan or waiver service, if administering a Medicaid waiver, and is “found necessary to the proper efficient administration of the state Medicaid plan.”

Examples of reimbursable administrative activities include:

1. Medi-Cal outreach;
2. Facilitating Medi-Cal application;
3. Medi-Cal related case management and referral;
4. Medi-Cal related program planning and policy development;
5. Providing transportation to Medi-Cal service;
6. General administrative activities.
