Covered California 1332 Waiver Meeting
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).
This objective of this meeting is to explore options for pursuing a 1332 Waiver. Please join us for a discussion with expert panelists regarding the 1332 Waiver process, federal requirements and guardrails, and options for consideration.
Public comments can be submitted ahead of time to 1332@covered.ca.gov. Check back frequently for new items to be posted.
