加州庆祝印第奥行为健康中心扩建工程破土动工

On July 1, DHCS and ABC Recovery Center celebrated the groundbreaking of a facility expansion that will serve people who need mental health and substance use disorder treatment. DHCS awarded ABC Recovery Center more than $27 million through the Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP) to build two adult substance use disorder residential units, expanding residential treatment capacity by 120 total beds, in addition to intensive outpatient treatment for substance use disorder projected to serve 400 people annually.

DHCS will distribute roughly $4 billion in BHCIP grants under Proposition 1 bond funds to address historic gaps in the behavioral health care system and meet the growing demand for services and support throughout the lifespan of people in need. More information about Proposition 1 can be found at mentalhealth.ca.gov. DHCS holds regular public listening sessions.

新的 CMS 指南增强了医疗补助管理式护理服务

Over the past decade, Medicaid managed care organizations have increasingly aimed to address members’ health-related social needs, such as housing, food security, and transportation, that affect health outcomes. However, these efforts often remained in pilot stages due to capitation rates not reflecting these services. New guidance from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on in lieu of services (ILOS) is changing this by allowing medically appropriate and cost-effective substitutes for state Medicaid benefits, impacting managed care rates. A new Medicaid policy cheat sheet, published by Center for Health Care Strategies, outlines five key takeaways from CMS’ May 2024 final rule on using ILOS to address health-related social needs. Additionally, a new tool, Designing a Health-Related Social Needs Strategy in Medicaid, presents decision points for states, including a snapshot of how nine states are covering these services through a learning series supported by the Kaiser Permanente National Community Benefit Fund.

Unshame CA 是 DHCS 和Shatterproof的合作项目，旨在让人们了解药物使用障碍是一种可治疗的疾病，并使之正常化。该活动采用循证公共卫生方法，利用社交媒体开展教育和外联活动，并将加州人与有生活经验的人联系起来。
