X-WR-CALDESC:On July 17 at 10 a.m.\, the Department of Health Care Services
  (DHCS) Office of Medicare Innovation and Integration (OMII)\, will host a
  webinar titled 'California's Medicare Populations: Linguistic and Cultura
 l Diversity\, Plus the Near-Dual Group.' The webinar will include presenta
 tions and a panel discussion on two data chartbooks on the Medicare popula
 tion in California\, available shortly on the DHCS OMII webpage. \n\nThese
  chartbooks highlight the linguistic and cultural diversity of Californian
 s with Medicare\, and the demographics for California Medicare beneficiari
 es near the Medi-Cal income eligibility threshold\, known as “Near-Duals.”
  Both chartbooks are based on 2019 U.S. Census data. Highlights include da
 ta analysis that 15 percent of Californians with Medicare had limited Engl
 ish proficiency (three times the national average) and that 32 percent of 
 Californians with Medicare were born outside the U.S. (compared to the nat
 ional rate of 12 percent.) The data also show that\, compared to higher-in
 come Medicare beneficiaries\, Near-Duals face financial constraints\, have
  a higher prevalence of disabilities\, are predominantly female\, aged 75 
 or older\, and are from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds. Understandi
 ng the cultural\, linguistic\, and economic demographics of California’s M
 edicare population is critical to addressing health disparities and improv
 ing the care experience. \n\nPlease register for the July 17 webinar\, whi
 ch is open to the public. For questions or comments\, please email DHCS at
