Medi-Cal Reports Strong Growth in Enhanced Care Management and Community Supports
7월 3, 2025
향상된 케어 관리에 등록한 아동 및 청소년 수가 3배 가까이 증가했으며, 출시 이후 회원에게 제공된 커뮤니티 지원 서비스 수가 100만 건에 육박했습니다.
SACRAMENTO — The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) today shared new data showing how Enhanced Care Management (ECM) and Community Supports are increasing and helping more people as part of the state’s Medi-Cal transformation under California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM).
“The trends reflected in the data demonstrate the real and growing impact of CalAIM in supporting the health and well-being of Medi-Cal members,” said DHCS Director Michelle Baass. “We’re seeing especially strong progress in reaching children and youth, expanding access to critical supports like housing and food, and growing the provider networks needed to deliver these services. Together, these efforts are helping more Californians live healthier, more stable lives.”
WHAT THE NUMBERS SHOW: Since ECM launched in January 2022, more than 326,000 unique Medi-Cal members have enrolled in this benefit that provides comprehensive, person-centered care coordination for members with complex needs. In the last three months of 2024 alone, more than 149,400 members received ECM services, including more than 31,000 children and youth under 21, nearly four times more than when ECM launched for these groups in July 2023.
커뮤니티 지원도 더 많은 Medi-Cal 회원에게 도달하고 있습니다. 2024년 말까지 약 368,400명의 회원이 이러한 서비스를 이용했으며, 총 92만 건 이상의 서비스가 제공되었습니다. 이러한 지원은 건강에 영향을 미치는 사회적 요인을 해결하여 기존 의료 서비스에 대한 비용 효율적인 커뮤니티 기반 대안을 제공합니다. 2024년 4분기에 커뮤니티 지원에 액세스한 사람 중:
- 거의 60%가 의학적으로 맞춤화된 식사/의료 지원 식품을 이용했습니다.
- 약 40%가 주거 트리오 서비스(주거 전환 탐색 서비스, 주택 임차 및 유지 서비스, 주택 보증금) 중 하나 이상을 사용했습니다.
WHY THIS MATTERS: More Medi-Cal members with complex medical and social needs are accessing ECM and Community Supports. Key drivers of growth include:
- 2024년까지 ECM 등록이 160% 가까이 증가한 어린이와 청소년을 위한 서비스를 대폭 확대합니다.
- 2023년 말부터 2024년 말까지 계약된 ECM 제공업체가 성인의 경우 분기당 14%, 청소년은 분기당 32%씩 성장하는 등 사법 관련 회원의 제공업체가 꾸준히 성장하고 있습니다.
- Increased access and scale of Community Supports, now available in 40 counties, with 91 percent of Medi-Cal members having access to at least 10 services.
PROVIDER NETWORKS ARE GROWING: The number of providers delivering ECM and Community Supports has grown significantly. Managed care plans now hold approximately 2,600 provider contracts for Community Supports alone, up from about 750 in early 2022. This reflects a strong commitment from community-based organizations, housing providers, and local health systems to support CalAIM’s goals.
COMMUNITY SUPPORTS ARE COST-EFFECTIVE: DHCS’ June 2025 cost-effectiveness report shows that Community Supports help reduce overall health care costs by preventing avoidable hospitalizations, emergency room visits, and long-term institutional care, while improving health outcomes.
WHAT’S NEXT: Starting January 1, 2026, Transitional Rent will become a mandatory Community Support and will be available to provide up to six months of rental assistance to members who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness, are experiencing significant behavioral health needs, and meet certain risk factors. This is another important step in making sure Medi-Cal members have the support they need to live healthy, stable lives in their communities.
DHCS will continue to center feedback from Medi-Cal members to ensure ECM and Community Supports are responsive, accessible, and equitable. By listening closely to people who are directly impacted, California aims to enhance the effectiveness of these programs and better support members’ health and well-being.
