“The Cultural and Linguistic Demographics of the California Medicare Population Chartbook” is the second in a series exploring the demographics, needs, and health care experiences of Californians with Medicare.
Acknowledging that the causes of many barriers to care are historic and systemic, detailed data insights about Medicare beneficiaries’ cultural and linguistic demographics will help DHCS and interested parties as they design programs and policies that best meet the complex care needs of Medicare beneficiaries.
Prepare by ATI Advisory for the California Department of Health Care Services with funding from The SCAN Foundation, this chartbook provides new key demographic information, adding to analysis of Medicare records and Census survey data in the Profile of the California Medicare Population chartbook published in February 2022.
