California Launches Vital Health Care Services
On February 10, DHCS, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), and California Correctional Health Care Services (CCHCS) announced the expansion of the Justice-Involved Reentry Initiative to prisons statewide. The initiative allows eligible incarcerated individuals to enroll in Medi-Cal and receive a targeted set of services during the 90 days prior to their release. Connecting people to services and providers prior to release will help ensure continuity of health care coverage and services, such as medication-assisted treatment and pharmacy benefits, between incarceration and reentry. All participants are eligible for Enhanced Care Management and linkages to behavioral health care to support their successful reintegration into society.
County jails and youth detention facilities in San Joaquin County are also launching the initiative in February 2025, joining Inyo, Santa Clara, and Yuba counties, which began offering pre-release services in October 2024. More than 3,000 incarcerated individuals in county jails have received Medi-Cal pre-release services, ensuring they return to society with health coverage, prescriptions, durable medical equipment, and scheduled appointments with community-based care providers. This initiative plays a crucial role in reducing health disparities and supporting successful reentry. By October 1, 2026, all California counties must implement the initiative in their jails and youth facilities.
