La Clínica's October 2025 enrollment campaign illustrates a renewal-workflow need — use current DHCS category guidance now

El Tímpano reported on October 24, 2025 — not June 2026 — that La Clínica de la Raza's community health educators launched an Alameda County campaign before the January 2026 Adult Expansion Freeze. The article documents the campaign, renewal questions, address-change risk, and community anxiety at that time.

It does not establish a 2026 attendance decline, revenue loss, or operational result at La Clínica, AltaMed, Asian Health Services, LifeLong, or the wider FQHC sector. Current DHCS guidance is the action source: some adults cannot newly enroll in full-scope Medi-Cal because of immigration category; an otherwise eligible member who already has full-scope coverage can keep it by renewing on time; and a member whose coverage ends has a three-month full-scope re-enrollment window before a new application is generally limited to restricted scope.

Navigators should verify the person's category against the current DHCS chart, update county contact information, identify the notice and due date, use teach-back in the person's language, and route unresolved eligibility questions to the local Medi-Cal office or qualified legal help. Finance and talent teams must not convert this historical campaign into a visit, revenue, hiring, or vacancy forecast.

Keep immigration category, notices, renewal files, addresses, patient stories, and identifiers out of FQHC Talent; use only de-identified aggregate workflow findings.
