Request for Information #25-082

Hospital Value Strategy

The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) is releasing this Request for Information (RFI) #25-082 to gather information from entities in preparation to develop a comprehensive value strategy for Medi-Cal hospital service reimbursement.

DHCS proposes to develop, publish, implement, and sustain a comprehensive value strategy for hospital payments that is designed to sustainably advance access to high-quality inpatient and outpatient hospital services, financially incentivize appropriate care delivery, and improve health outcomes for Medi-Cal members. This value strategy will enable DHCS to manage Medi-Cal reimbursement for hospital services while exercising prudent fiscal stewardship with respect to these programs and implementing long-lasting, balanced solutions in alignment with Medi-Cal's comprehensive quality strategy, federal Medicaid requirements and guidance, and the economic and efficient provisioning of services in the Medi-Cal program.

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: PCDRFI2@dhcs.ca.gov.
