DHCS Stakeholder News – February 17, 2023​​ 

热门新闻​​ 

DHCS 成立新的 Medi-Cal 会员咨询委员会​​ 

DHCS 认识到,会员应作为积极参与者参与 DHCS 计划的知情和设计。Medi-Cal 会员代表着人口和生活经历的多样性,而目前在医疗服务提供者、计划或州政府层面上,这些多样性并不匹配。在 Medi-Cal 计划制定过程中积极采纳成员的观点对促进健康公平至关重要,也是 DHCS全面质量战略的核心目标。​​   

Therefore, DHCS is proud to announce the creation of the Medi-Cal Member Advisory Committee* (MMAC). The Committee will provide a dedicated space for Medi-Cal members to directly provide input to DHCS’ Director and leadership. It will also bolster member representation in DHCS’ stakeholder engagement efforts. The Committee will be comprised entirely of Medi-Cal members and family caregivers, and will operate alongside existing DHCS advisory groups, such as the Stakeholder Advisory Committee (SAC).​​  

由 DHCS 召集并由委员会成员共同设计,MMAC 将侧重于根据 Medi-Cal 计划的直接经验和 Medi-Cal 的优先问题(包括政策和计划的制定)提出建议。除其他问题外,该委员会还将在确定和形成改善 Medi-Cal 计划的注册程序、质量和医疗服务的领域方面发挥至关重要的作用。DHCS 将与利益相关方合作,确保 MMAC 的意见得到充分采纳。​​  

MMAC 是对 2024 年 Medi-Cal 托管护理计划合同中新条款的补充,这些条款要求计划将会员的意见纳入其计划、倡议和沟通中。此外,MMAC 还展示了 DHCS 在《 加州医疗保险支持儿童和家庭健康与机会战略 》( Medi-Cal's Strategy to Support Health and Opportunity for Children and Families )中概述的成员参与方面取得的进展。​​  

为了挑选第一批 MMAC 成员,DHCS 向 Medi-Cal 成员倡导者和其他利益相关者征集提名。DHCS 将尽一切努力确保 MMAC 成员能反映 Medi-Cal 成员的多样性和 DHCS 各项计划的经验。委员会最初将包括约 20 名成员,任期两年。MMAC 会议将包括主要语言为非英语的成员,并将满足任何其他需求,使成员能够充分参与。MMAC 将从 2023 年春季开始每季度召开一次会议。MMAC 会议将是虚拟会议,但有时也会举行面对面会议。​​  

To protect the privacy of the Medi-Cal members the meetings will not be open to the public and a membership roster will not be shared publicly. However, DHCS will post meeting summaries online and will report key findings from the MMAC in stakeholder forums including but not limited to the SAC.​​   

DHCS is also excited to announce that Everyday Impact Consulting has been selected as the contractor who will assist DHCS in the operation of the MMAC. DHCS would like to thank the California Health Care Foundation (CHCF) and the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children’s Health for assistance in the development of the Committee and supporting the operation of the MMAC for the next two years.​​    

DHCS 与 CHCF 合作,与医疗保健战略中心(CHCS)合作,为 MMAC 的设计提出建议。作为设计阶段的一部分,CHCS 与 Medi-Cal 成员以及州政府、管理性医疗计划、社区组织和研究机构的代表进行了广泛的研究和超过 25 次关键信息访谈。预计将在未来几个月内发表一份总结这些研究成果的报告。此外,一个由社区参与专家组成的技术咨询小组在 2022 年 7 月至 10 月期间举行了四次月度会议,就 MMAC 的设计和建议提供咨询和反馈意见。MMAC 的成立是为了满足 DHCS 确定的需求,并非立法强制要求。DHCS 将不断评估 MMAC 的运作情况,并做出改进,以优化 Medi-Cal 会员的参与和发言权。​​  

面向儿童和青少年的全新 Medi-Cal 推广和教育工具包​​ 

作为加州医保支持儿童和家庭健康与机会战略的一部分,健康与社会服务部开发了新的加州医保儿童& 青少年外联& 教育材料,以提高成员对加州医保如何为儿童和青少年服务的理解,并加强与一系列儿童服务利益相关者的协调。新工具包教育并告知家庭和医疗服务提供者有关联邦早期和定期筛查、诊断和治疗 (EPSDT) 的要求。Medi-Cal for Kids& Teens 网页上提供,该工具包包括三个主要部分:​​ 

  • 面向会员的儿童和青少年 Medi-Cal 手册旨在提高会员对 Medi-Cal 如何为儿童、青少年和年轻人服务、其涵盖的内容及其在预防保健筛查、诊断和治疗中的作用的了解。 该工具包包含两本小册子,儿童小册子适用于 12 岁以下的儿童,青少年小册子适用于 12 至 21 岁的儿童。​​ 
  • 面向会员的儿童和青少年 Medi-Cal:您的 Medi-Cal 权利信函旨在帮助 21 岁以下的会员及其家人了解他们的 Medi-Cal 福利,以及在必要医疗护理被拒绝、延迟、减少或停止时可采取的补救措施。​​ 

  • 标准化提供商培训,帮助 Medi-Cal 管理式医疗提供商更好地了解针对 21 岁以下会员的 Medi-Cal,包括如何帮助儿童和家庭获得必要的医疗护理、如何为承保服务开具账单,以及如有其他问题应联系 DHCS 的谁。 该提供商培训符合 MCP 合同语言,该合同语言将于 2024 年 1 月生效,要求为儿童、青少年和年轻人服务的管理式医疗提供商至少每两年接受一次培训,了解 Medi-Cal 如何为 21 岁以下会员提供服务。​​ 

该工具包经过了消费者和利益相关者的广泛审查,以确保材料符合 Medi-Cal 会员和医疗服务提供者的需求。根据消费者的反馈,DHCS 在工具包材料中将联邦 EPSDT 要求称为 Medi-Cal for Kids& Teens。DHCS 将把面向会员的材料翻译成 DHCS 临界语言,并在 DHCSMedi-Cal for Kids& Teens 网页上公布。​​ 

DHCS 将于 3 月 1 日上午 11:00 至中午 12:00 举办有关该工具包的网络研讨会。鼓励所有感兴趣的利益攸关方参加(在此提前注册)。DHCS 还将在未来几天内与医疗服务提供者、消费者和利益相关者广泛分享这些材料。​​ 

项目更新​​ 

DHCS:Medi-Cal 会员外联信​​ 

2 月 17 日,DHCS 开始向大约 800 万 Medi-Cal 会员邮寄宣传信件,告知他们必须采取的步骤,以尽量减少他们失去 Medi-Cal 健康保险的风险。信中鼓励 Medi-Cal 会员在信息发生变化时向当地县办公室提供最新信息。该信件已翻译成 Medi-Cal 临界语言,并将以收件人首选的语言邮寄给他们,同时也会以其他格式邮寄给选择了首选格式的收件人。​​ 

12 月29 ,2022 ,颁布了《2023 年综合拨款法》。这使医疗补助计划(Medi-Cal)的连续参保要求与 COVID-19 公共卫生紧急状况脱钩,并确定了连续参保要求的终止日期为 3 月31 ,2023 。因此,解除期将从 4 月1 开始,2023 ,所有 Medi-Cal 会员将恢复年度续保程序。​​

选定同意管理服务的供应商​​ 

On February 17, DHCS announced it selected three vendors to participate in the Authorization to Share Confidential Medi-Cal Information (ASCMI) form pilot: 211 San Diego, in collaboration with San Diego County and Health Net; Manifest MedEx, in collaboration with San Joaquin County and Health Net; and Santa Cruz Health Information Organization, in collaboration with Santa Cruz County and Central California Alliance for Health. The ASCMI form is a universal release of information designed to facilitate sharing of an individual’s physical, mental, and social health information through a standardized consent process. A consent management service will be used to store and manage Medi-Cal member consent and can be accessed and amended by members and service providers via website and/or their existing electronic health record system.​​ 

这些供应商将负责设计和实施 ASCMI 表格和同意书管理服务的使用,并与郡县、MCP 和参与服务提供商合作。ASCMI 表格试点将支持旨在提供全人护理(如加强护理管理和社区支持)的加州推进和创新医疗保险(CalAIM)倡议,并将确定操作的复杂性,为将来更广泛的推广提供信息。​​
