CalAIM Managed Long-Term
Services & Supports & Duals Integration Workgroup
Return to CalAIM Homepage
Expanding Access to Integrated
Care for Dual Eligible Californians
Under the California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal
Initiative (CalAIM), the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS)
will transition Cal MediConnect (CMC) and the Coordinated Care Initiative (CCI)
to a statewide Managed Long-Term Services and Supports (MLTSS) and Dual
Eligible Special Needs Plan (D-SNP) structure. This policy is intended to help
meet the statewide goals of improving care integration and person-centered
care, under both CalAIM and the California Master Plan for Aging (MPA).
On February 24, 2020, DHCS released the “
Expanding Access to Integrated Care for
Dual Eligible Californians" policy memo, which outlines the
Department's transition plan for dual eligibles and Cal MediConnect within
CalAIM.
CalAIM MLTSS and Duals Integration Workgroup
The CalAIM MLTSS and
Duals Integration Workgroup will serve as a stakeholder collaboration hub for
this effort, including health plans, stakeholders, and the U.S. Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). This Workgroup will provide an opportunity
for stakeholders to provide feedback and share information about policy,
operations, and strategy for the Department's transition plan for dual
eligibles and the CCI transition within the CalAIM initiative.
Initial
workgroup discussions will focus on policies and operations to transition
CalMedi-Connect members to aligned D-SNP/Medi-Cal managed care enrollment. Future topics will be developed based on
CalAIM goals and MPA topics around integrated care for dual eligible
Californians.
