DHCS, 메디칼 세포 및 유전자 치료 접근 모델 참여 승인​​ 

The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) approved DHCS’ participation in the groundbreaking Cell and Gene Therapy (CGT) Access Model beginning on July 1, 2025. This multi-year initiative will expand Medi-Cal members’ access to lifesaving gene therapies for sickle cell disease (SCD), a severe genetic blood disorder that disproportionately affects people of African descent. These therapies have the potential to transform lives, and this initiative helps ensure that cost is not a barrier for Californians who need them most.​​ 

Initially, the CGT Access Model will focus on access to gene therapy treatments for people living with SCD, specifically targeting therapies like Vertex’s Casgevy and Bluebird’s Lyfgenia. It aims to improve health care outcomes for Medi-Cal members by facilitating access to transformative therapies, while managing costs through outcomes-based agreements between CMS, manufacturers, and state Medicaid agencies. DHCS will work with CMS on onboarding activities in the coming weeks and will share more detailed information as it becomes available.​​

California’s 1115 Waiver Approvals Remain Unaffected​​ 

DHCS partners may be aware that on April 10, CMS announced it will not approve new requests from states for federal matching funds for state expenditures on Designated State Health Programs (DSHP) and Designated State Investment Programs (DSIP). These funds, approved by CMS, allow states to support health care delivery system transformations not typically covered by Medicaid.​​ 

This announcement does not affect California’s previously approved DSHP funding, including initiatives under the California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM) and Behavioral Health Community-Based Organized Networks of Equitable Care and Treatment (BH-CONNECT) 1115 waivers, which remain federally approved and operational. Specifically, the Providing Access and Transforming Health (PATH) initiative under CalAIM will continue. In BH-CONNECT, DSHP funds support the implementation of the Behavioral Health Workforce Initiative program, which is expanding the supply and competencies of behavioral health providers who commit to serving Medi-Cal members. This initiative is designed specifically to support the Medi-Cal behavioral health workforce with strong requirements for participating in high-volume Medi-Cal provider settings and is not a general student loan repayment program.​​ 

DHCS remains committed to serving Californians with equitable access to quality health care, leading to a healthy California for all. We appreciate our Medi-Cal providers and community partners, and together we will push full steam ahead to transform our health system and improve health outcomes.​​
