مدیریت مراقبت پیشرفته (ECM) برای کودکان و جوانان با تمرکز (POF)
On November 3, DHCS published the ECM for Children and Youth POF Spotlight, which is designed to help contracted and prospective ECM providers serving children and youth develop and enhance their ECM models. It is also intended to support provider organizations that are considering if ECM for children and youth is right for them. The new resource outlines key ECM policies for the children and youth POFs, including areas where plans can leverage presumptive authorization; member scenarios that illustrate how to deliver ECM for the children and youth POFs, with examples of how Community Supports can be integrated to best serve children, youth, and caregivers; and guidance on how prospective providers can get started, with a collection of the key resources and funding opportunities.
DHCS is committed to providing technical assistance and support to California’s growing network of ECM providers. This is the first in a series of ECM spotlights that DHCS plans to release over the coming months to support stakeholders seeking more details on how providers tailor ECM to meet the needs of different POFs.

ژانویه 2024 Medi-Cal MCP Transition
As part of Medi-Cal transformation, some MCPs are changing on January 1, 2024, and approximately 1.2 million members will have new health plan options and/or will need to transition to new MCPs.
