声音与愿景委员会为加州医保成员和医疗保健专业人员提供了制定加州医保政策的途径

萨克拉门托——为推进包容性政策制定，加州医疗保健服务部 (DHCS) 成立了Medi-Cal 之声与愿景委员会，这是一个史无前例的咨询小组，汇集了 Medi-Cal 会员、护理人员、医疗服务提供者、社区组织、倡导团体和县级合作伙伴，共同塑造 Medi-Cal 政策、计划和实施的未来。通过将亲身经历直接融入政策制定过程，该委员会确保 Medi-Cal 的政策和计划以服务对象的实际需求为基础，并通过与医疗保健专家和系统领导者的合作不断完善。

The Voices and Vision Council held its inaugural meeting alongside the established Medi-Cal Member Advisory Committee to launch a new collaborative structure that brings together lived experience and system expertise to shape Medi-Cal policy.

“The Medi-Cal Voices and Vision Council is a vital platform for ensuring that Medi-Cal members and community partners help shape how we deliver care,” said DHCS Director Michelle Baass. “We are committed to strengthening our Medi-Cal program so it is more equitable, responsive, and grounded in the voices of the people we serve. This council reflects our belief that meaningful change and innovation begin with listening and acting on what people tell us they need.”

“Medi-Cal provides the nursing care that keeps my son healthy and safe at home with our family,” said Jenny McLelland, a parent and member of the Voices and Vision Council. “The council gives me the opportunity to share my experiences as a caregiver and ensures that families like mine have a voice in making Medi-Cal better for all Californians.”

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT: The Voices and Vision Council and the Medi-Cal Member Advisory Committee help ensure that Medi-Cal members remain at the heart of policy development and program administration. These two advisory bodies work in close partnership with DHCS leaders and policy experts to co-design equity-centered programs and policy solutions that reflect the real needs of members.

通过直接与成员和利益相关者互动，DHCS 正在构建基础设施，以便处理对其服务对象而言最重要的事情。每季度的会议都以成员和护理人员分享的见解为中心。这些讨论有助于加州医疗保健服务部 (DHCS) 将反馈转化为切实可行的改进措施，从而加强加州医疗补助计划

对加州各地社区的支持。背景： 2023 年，DHCS 成立了 Medi-Cal 会员咨询委员会，这是美国首批正式咨询小组之一，其成员完全由 Medi-Cal 会员及其家人和护理人员等支持者组成。2024 年，联邦医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心发布了《确保获得医疗补助服务规则》 ，该规则要求所有州在 7 月之前设立两个咨询机构：一个由成员和护理人员组成的受益人咨询委员会，以及一个包括提供者的医疗补助咨询委员会，该委员会至少 25% 的成员来自受益人咨询委员会10 ， 2027 。

To meet this requirement, California designated its existing Medi-Cal Member Advisory Committee as the state’s Beneficiary Advisory Council and created the Medi-Cal Voices and Vision Council as its Medicaid Advisory Committee. Together, these groups are designed to create a continuous feedback loop: The Medi-Cal Member Advisory Committee will meet first each quarter to surface themes and priorities from members and caregivers, which will then inform the Voices and Vision Council’s policy and operational discussions. Potential topics include access to care, service delivery, communication, and other issues that influence how Medi-Cal works for the people it serves.

WHAT’S NEXT: The first public meeting of the Medi-Cal Voices and Vision Council will be held on March 18, 2026. Meeting schedules, agendas, minutes, and membership lists for both groups will be publicly available. For more information, including how to register for the first public meeting, please visit the Voices and Vision Council webpage.
 
ABOUT THE VOICES AND VISION COUNCIL MEMBERS: The Voices and Vision Council is made up of 16 Medi-Cal members and leaders from across California who bring experience from advocacy groups, community-based organizations, health centers, county health and social services departments, managed care plans, and health plan associations.
