Interoperability

What is Interoperability and why do we have it

Interoperability makes it easier and faster for Medi‑Cal members, providers, and insurance companies to access, use and share electronic health information. Helping to build a more efficient health care system that supports better informed decision making and care coordination and makes healthcare overall less confusing. The goal is that everyone – members, doctors, and insurance companies – can get the right information at the right time to keep members healthier.

Members

Access your health information using a mobile device app.
