Xa lus xaus xyoo los ntawm DHCS Tus Thawj Coj Michelle Baass​​ 

Thank you for helping us achieve another banner year at DHCS. We’re implementing a multi-year transformation of Medi-Cal to ensure Californians get the care they need. Every day, Californians are gaining access to new and improved services—or getting covered for the first time. We’re addressing some of the most pressing issues of our time, including homelessness and youth mental health needs. We’re building and expanding our programs to treat the whole person—both their physical and behavioral health—and addressing health-related social needs by offering Enhanced Care Management and Community Supports, such as transitions to stable housing and/or providing access to medically tailored meals.​​ 

Together, these changes represent a significant step forward in delivering a more coordinated, person-centered, and equitable health care system that works for everyone, regardless of where they live or their health needs. Although these changes will take time to fully implement, we should feel tremendously proud of what we’re doing to transform people’s lives. Your work brings us closer to realizing our purpose of a healthy California for all.​​

As part of Medi-Cal transformation, some MCPs are changing on January 1, and approximately 1.2 million members will have new health plan options and/or will need to transition to new MCPs. Changing MCPs will not affect Medi-Cal member coverage or benefits. Members transitioning to a new MCP received notices about the transition. DHCS developed several resources to support members, providers, and other stakeholders with the transition, including the Managed Care Plan Transition Member webpage with a county “lookup” tool, links to member notices sent by Medi-Cal about MCP changes, frequently asked questions, and a Contact Us page for members to learn more about health plans and provider choices. There are also transition resources for providers and MCPs and stakeholders. More information about the transition is available in the 2024 Managed Care Plan Transition Policy Guide and Medi-Cal Eligibility Division Information Letter Number I 23-54.​​
