EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The purpose of this Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is to outline the terms and conditions for the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) and the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) to allow the County to access the Association of Administrators of the Interstate Compact on Adoption and Medical Assistance (AAICAMA) database. The MOU also provides for training and technical assistance for database users. Use of the database facilitates the transfer of information between states for establishment of medical benefits for children with adoption assistance agreements. The AAICAMA database replaces the paper ICAMA 700 form and is used to open Medicaid cases between states for adopted special needs children. In order to serve these children as required, the County needs access to the AAICAMA database.
