CMS publishes the state total enrollments on the CMSPI website. The total enrollment comprises of individuals who are eligible for full scope Medi-Cal by MAGI – Child, MAGI – Adult, Non-MAGI Child, Non-MAGI Adult, and CHIP eligibility groups. DHCS does not report to CMS the total enrollment in limited scope Medi-Cal or state-only funded programs (indicated as the “Non-CMSPI” in the dataset).
