The content will be distributed through existing partnerships with Univision and Telemundo for Spanish-language television and a new partnership with CrossingsTV for Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Punjabi, Korean, and Hmong programming. Select videos will also be updated to include voiceovers to increase accessibility and exposure to more audiences, such as the visually impaired and those who cannot read. Voiceover videos will be available in all threshold languages. New awareness and renewal outreach materials will be available on the Keep Your Community Covered resources hub for download and sharing in all 19 threshold languages.​​ 

DHCS 还利用可用数据重新定位续订率较低的社区,特别是由于成员未提供所需的文件或信息而导致取消注册率较高的社区。​​

即将举行的利益相关方会议和网络研讨会​​ 

公开听证会:CalAIM 示范法案中关于儿童持续保障的修正案​​ 

1 月 29 日下午 1 时至 2 时,DHCS 将举行公开听证会(需提前登记),就加州推进和创新 Medi-Cal (CalAIM) 第 1115 节示范项目中有关儿童持续保险的拟议修正案征求利益相关者的意见。​​ 

DHCS is seeking approval from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to include expenditure authority under Section 1115(a)(2) to receive federal matching funds to provide continuous coverage for children through the end of the month in which their 5th birthday falls, regardless of when they first enroll in Medi-Cal or the Children’s Health Insurance Program and any changes in circumstances that would otherwise cause a loss of eligibility. Implementation of this policy is contingent upon a state determination of available General Fund resources in 2024-2025 and subsequent fiscal years and CMS approval. Additional information is available on the DHCS CalAIM 1115 Demonstration and 1915(b) Waiver webpage.​​ 

导乐利益相关者实施工作组会议​​

该网络研讨会向所有人开放,但将特别引起 MCP 和与出生公平人群合作的服务提供商(包括县和社区组织)的兴趣。 有兴趣了解更多有关出生公平 POF 的 ECM 或推荐会员的提供商也可以参加。请参与者于 1 月 29 日前将问题提交至CalAIMECMILOS@dhcs.ca.gov 。 与会者将能够在网络研讨会期间提出问题。​​

Medi-Cal 目标费率增长 (TRI)​​ 

Pursuant to Assembly Bill (AB) 118 (Chapter 42, Statutes of 2023), DHCS published, as part of the proposed 2024–25 Governor’s Budget, a plan for targeted increases to Medi-Cal payments or other investments, effective in 2025, across primary care, maternal care, behavioral health care, specialty care, women’s health services, public hospital services, community and hospital outpatient services, emergency services, and other domains. The proposed investments will be supported with funding from the Managed Care Organization (MCO) Tax, authorized by AB 119 (Chapter 13 , Statutes of 2023), and are designed to advance access, quality, and equity for Medi-Cal members and promote provider participation in the Medi-Cal program. These proposed investments are subject to obtaining all necessary legislative and federal approvals, as applicable. For more information, please visit the Medi-Cal Targeted Provider Rate Increases and Investments webpage and view the Medi-Cal TRI policy paper and MCO Tax-funded investments.​​ 

持续覆盖解除数据 90 天刷新​​ 

12 月 29 日,DHCS 向 CMS 提交了 2023 年 6 月至 8 月联邦解除合同数据的强制更新。 由于程序原因被停止享受 Medi-Cal 福利的个人有 90 天的时间向各县提交必要信息以完成续签。 由于提交解除数据的时间要求,之前的提交数据并不包括在 90 天的重新考虑期内恢复 Medi-Cal 的个人。 此次更新包括对之前提交的数据的刷新,其中包括个人在 90 天重新考虑期内的结果。​​ 

The updated data is accessible on the Medi-Cal Enrollment and Renewal Data webpage under the “Medi-Cal Continuous Coverage Unwinding Dashboards” section. Additionally, the California Health & Human Services Agency posted on its Medium page a piece by DHCS Director Michelle Baass about the 90-day data refresh.​​ 

2024 年 1 月 Medi-Cal MCP 过渡期​​ 

On January 1, DHCS achieved a significant milestone in its transformation of Medi-Cal with the launch of the new managed care contract and the MCP transition, under which approximately 1.2 million members gained new health plan options and/or transitioned to new MCPs (note: changing MCPs does not affect Medi-Cal member coverage or benefits). To facilitate a smooth transition between MCPs for members, DHCS created Continuity of Care protections to minimize disruptions to members’ care.​​ 

DHCS developed several resources to support members, providers, and other stakeholders with the transition, including the MCP Transition Member webpage with a county “lookup” tool, links to the member notices sent by Medi-Cal about MCP changes, member frequently asked questions in all threshold languages, and a Contact Us page for members to learn more about health plan changes. There are also transition resources for providersMCPs, and stakeholders. More information about the transition is available in the 2024 MCP Transition Policy Guide and Medi-Cal Eligibility Division Information Letter Number I 23-54.​​ 

The MCP Transition Member webpage includes resources and information to support members’ transition. Members unable to resolve issues or questions after working with their MCP may contact DHCS’ Office of the Ombudsman at toll-free (888) 452-8609 or by emailing MMCDOmbudsmanOffice@dhcs.ca.gov.​​
