Medi-Cal Budget Manager

DHCS’ purpose is to provide equitable access to quality health care leading to a healthy California for all.

DHCS is a dynamic organization with ambitious goals and talented, committed employees. We work hard every day to fulfill our vital responsibility to support the delivery of quality health care to Californians. DHCS is committed to addressing disparities within our organization and in our communities through efforts toward greater diversity, equity, and inclusion. This is accomplished, in part, by a commitment toward employing a diverse workforce that reflects the many communities we serve, and by promoting and enforcing equal employment opportunity.

Take a look at some of DHCS' recent projects and happenings that our Department has accomplished in the DHCS Newsroom.

This position is located in East End Complex (EEC) across the street from the California State Capitol Park and the Rose Garden. The EEC is walking distance to public transportation and near various eateries.

The Fiscal Program’s Fiscal Forecasting Division (FFD) works to accomplish DHCS’s mission by preparing twice-annual caseload and funding projections for Medi-Cal, which provides health coverage to more than one in three Californians. These projections, encompassing more than $202.7 billion annually, play an important role in the state’s annual budget process. FFD also produces a twice-annual Family Health Estimate that covers certain state programs outside of Medi-Cal, prepares requests for federal funds for Medi-Cal, and is also responsible for fiscal analyses used for policy decisions, legislation, and regulations.
