Request for Information #22-030

Access Assessment and Improvement in Medi-Cal

​​The California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) is releasing this Request for Information (RFI) to solicit information from interested parties regarding assessing and improving access to care in Medi-Cal.

DHCS issues this RFI to seek information from experienced vendors on conducting independent assessments of access to care and access improvement work in Medi-Cal's four (4) managed care delivery systems: Medi-Cal Managed Care (MCMC), Dental Managed Care (Dental MC), Specialty Mental Health Services (SMHS), and Drug Medi-Cal Organized Delivery System (DMC-ODS). 

Further, to accomplish the paired goals of both assessing and improving access, DHCS intends to work with a single entity to assess and develop recommendations to align access standards and monitoring across managed care delivery systems and leverage the necessary expertise for the assessments. ​

This RFI is issued for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation. A response to this RFI is not an offer and cannot be accepted by the State to form a binding contract. Respondents are solely responsible for all expenses associated with responding to this RFI.  DHCS asks willing Respondents to share nonbinding budgetary pricing information for each identified solution where requested. Pricing is only for planning purposes. Any pricing provided in a response to this RFI will not be considered an offer on the part of a Respondent. 

Questions regarding this RFI should be submitted via email to: CDRFI3@dhcs.ca.gov​​​
