The California Association of Health Plans is active in a variety of state regulatory activities. California state government agencies submit hundreds of proposed actions each year to adopt, amend, and repeal regulations. CAHP follows the regulatory actions of the California Department of Managed Health Care (DMHC), the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), the Office of the Patient Advocate (OPA), Covered California, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
