DHCS is the federally designated single state agency responsible for financing and administering the state’s Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, which provides health care services to low-income persons and families who meet defined eligibility requirements. Medi-Cal is authorized and funded through a federal-state partnership. Medi-Cal programs cover physical health, mental health, substance use disorder, services, pharmacy, dental, and long-term services and supports. DHCS is also the single state agency for Substance Abuse and the State Mental Health Authority, and administers county-operated community mental health and substance use disorder programs, together known as behavioral health.
Medi-Cal 为超过 1400 万加州居民提供服务。大约三分之一的加州居民接受由加州医疗保健服务部 (DHCS) 提供的医疗保健服务,这使得该部门成为加州最大的医疗保健购买者。我们之所以能够取得成功,离不开与联邦政府、其他州机构、县、计划、提供者和社区合作伙伴的合作,我们每年投入超过 2000 亿美元用于照顾低收入家庭、儿童、孕妇、老年人和残疾人。
DHCS is a dynamic Department with ambitious goals and talented, committed employees. We work hard every day to fulfill our vital responsibility to support the delivery of quality health care to Californians. We will continue to use tax dollars as effectively as possible while finding opportunities to improve Californians’ health and the health care delivery system of our Golden State.
