​​​The Acute Hospital Care at Home Program

Attention All Medi-Cal Beneficiaries

In alignment with the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) has ended the Acute Hospital Care at Home (AHCAH) program, effective May 11, 2023. CDPH rescinded All Facility Letter 20-90 regarding interim guidance for the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), as CDPH does not have statutory authority to license this type of care with the expiration of the state Public Health Emergency (PHE). To align with CDPH's facility licensing requirements, DHCS is no longer participating in the AHCAH program.​​
