儿童和青少年行为健康倡议 (CYBHI) – 重返校园

On August 22, from 3 to 5 p.m. PDT, DHCS, in partnership with the Sacramento County Office of Education, will host a public webinar about school-based workstreams as part of the CYBHI. This webinar will cover important decisions and updates across multiple school-based programs, including the CYBHI Fee Schedule program and School-Linked Partnership and Capacity Grant Program.

此外，加州卫生与公共服务局 (CalHHS) 发布了返校月合作伙伴工具包，其中包括社交媒体文案、图片和视频，以帮助学校宣传信息和资源，从而支持青少年在返校季的心理健康。鼓励学校在返校过渡期间使用该工具包，宣传DHCS的两个行为健康虚拟服务平台，这两个平台为年轻人及其家庭提供免费、安全和保密的心理健康支持： BrightLife Kids面向0-12岁的儿童及其父母或监护人， Soluna面向13-25岁的年轻人。如需了解更多信息，请发送电子邮件至 CYBHI@dhcs.ca.gov 。

儿童疫苗 Medi-Cal 报销 (VFC) 计划

Medi-Cal 将向 VFC 计划下的注册药房提供商报销自 1 月1 、 2023以来为 18 岁及以下符合条件的 Medi-Cal 会员提供的 VFC 资助疫苗的费用。已加入 Medi-Cal 的药房供应商必须加入 VFC 计划，才能通过 Medi-Cal 获得 VFC 资助的疫苗报销，用于 18 岁及以下会员的疫苗。由于疫苗是根据VFC计划免费提供的，因此疫苗费用将不予报销。药房供应商可以收取三种不同的服务费用以获得报销：疫苗管理费、专业配药费和药剂师服务费（咨询和评估[疫苗接种启动]费）。

如果向 Medi-Cal Rx 提交索赔的处方医生的国家提供者标识符已注册为 Medi-Cal 提供者，则未注册为 Medi-Cal 订购、提供和处方 (ORP) 提供者的药剂师可以收取疫苗管理费。要收取药剂师服务费，药剂师必须是已注册的 Medi-Cal ORP 提供者。

For more detailed guidance, please refer to Medi-Cal Reimbursement of VFC-Enrolled Pharmacy Providers and for VFC and Non-VFC Vaccines – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) or the Medi-Cal Rx Alert, Coming Soon: Medi-Cal Reimbursement for VFC-Enrolled Providers.

Guest speakers Anwar Zouehid, Vice President of LTSS at Partners in Care Foundation, and Chris Esguerra, Chief Medical Officer of Health Plan of San Mateo, will share promising practices and discuss new resources, including the Enhanced Care Management Long-Term Care Population of Focus Spotlight and the forthcoming transitional care services technical assistance resource guide for members with LTSS needs.

DHCS 减害峰会

Registration is currently open for the first two DHCS Harm Reduction Summits in Shasta County (October 24) and San Mateo County (November 19). Through these convenings, DHCS hopes to collaborate with communities across the state to change the culture around the concept of harm reduction within California’s substance use disorder treatment system and to create low-barrier, patient-centered care. DHCS encourages substance use disorder treatment providers and staff (including social workers, peers, front desk staff, case managers, nurses, physicians, and all staff in substance use disorder treatment settings) to attend and learn about best practices for incorporating the tenets of harm reduction into substance use disorder treatment settings. The remaining summits will be in Fresno County, Los Angeles County, and San Diego County in winter 2025. Register on the event website.

家庭和社区服务 (HCBS) 1915(C) 残疾人士豁免和 1915(I) 州计划修正案 - 30 天公众意见征询期

On August 2, the Department of Developmental Services (DDS), in partnership with DHCS, posted a proposed amendment to the HCBS 1915(c) waiver and the HCBS 1915(i) State Plan Amendment (SPA) for a 30-day public comment period, prior to submitting the final versions to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services for approval.

The HCBS 1915(c) waiver amendment and 1915(i) SPA would implement the next round of rate increases associated with rate reform effective on January 1, 2025. Additionally, the waiver amendment and SPA would add a new service (person-centered future planning) along with a corresponding provider type and payment methodology, increase rates for financial management service providers, and include new provider personal assistance to community living arrangement services with the opportunity for participants to manage their own services.

All comments must be received by September 1, 2024. DDS and DHCS invite all interested parties to review the amendment and comment instructions on the DDS HCBS Programs webpage. If you have any questions, or to comment on the waiver amendment and/or SPA, please email federal.programs@dds.ca.gov.
