Medi-Cal members will have access to new and improved services to get well-rounded care that goes beyond the doctor's office or hospital and addresses all of their physical and mental health needs.
These changes are part of a broad transformation of Medi-Cal to create a more coordinated, person-centered, and equitable health system that works for all Californians.
DHCS has already undertaken several initiatives and, over the coming years, will continue to drive quality of care improvements, streamline and reduce complexity, and build upon equity-focused, data-driven, and whole-person care through the adult expansion of Medi-Cal to 700,000 members, Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program to improve access to community-based behavioral health treatment, and offering of Medi-Cal covered doula, Community Health Worker, and dyadic services while following DHCS' Comprehensive Quality Strategy.
