What CBAS is, in plain English
It is a Medi-Cal benefit
CBAS pays for Adult Day Health Care for people who need help to keep living safely at home.
The health plan approves it
Your Medi-Cal managed-care plan does a short face-to-face assessment, usually at home or at the center, and authorizes the days per week.
We handle the paperwork
Sunland gathers the physician form, submits the request and follows up with the plan so you do not have to.
There is no cost to the family
Program, meals and transportation are covered. No copays, no bills.
