行为健康社区公平护理和治疗组织网络 (BH-CONNECT) 示范附录

7 月 26 日，DHCS 根据《社会保障法》第 1115 条提交了一份待决的第 1115 条 BH-CONNECT 示范项目 的 补充文件 ，以进一步加强对患有严重行为健康问题的 Medi-Cal 成员的持续护理。 

Through the BH-CONNECT addendum, California seeks to further expand the care continuum for Medi-Cal members with the most complex behavioral health issues and risk factors. Specifically, California proposes to enable county behavioral health plans to opt into one or both of two new opportunities tailored to the unique needs of Medi-Cal members who live with the most complex and significant behavioral health conditions:

• 社区过渡内联服务，为长期居住在机构中且有严重行为健康问题的个人重返社区提供支持。 
• 为具有严重行为健康问题和特定风险因素的个人提供长达六个月的合格居住环境中的食宿。 这些设施的规模将被限制在 16 张或更少的床位，并且必须是自愿的；提供 Medi-Cal 覆盖的、自愿的和以康复为导向的服务；并符合 DHCS 与有生活经验的个人、倡导团体、利益相关者和部落伙伴协商后制定的全州标准。

加州和 Sierra Vista 儿童与家庭服务中心动工兴建莫德斯托社区健康和青少年预防中心

7 月 25 日，DHCS 和 Sierra Vista 儿童与家庭服务中心在莫德斯托破土动工兴建一座新设施，以弥补心理健康和药物滥用障碍治疗方面的关键缺口。社区健康和青少年预防中心将提供关键服务，包括青少年恢复性司法实践、心理健康咨询、孕期和产后服务、家庭和父母支持服务以及其他综合服务。 

DHCS awarded Sierra Vista Child & Family Services more than $4.6 million through the Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP), which works to ensure comprehensive behavioral health care for California’s most vulnerable residents. With the recently approved Proposition 1 bonds, in 2025 and 2026, even more behavioral health treatment facilities will be funded and built. 

DHCS has already competitively awarded $1.7 billion in BHCIP grants. In addition, DHCS will distribute up to $4.4 billion in competitive BHCIP grants under Proposition 1 bond funds. Just this month, DHCS announced the availability of up to $3.3 billion in competitive grant funding to develop a wide range of behavioral health treatment settings for Californians who most need care. Behavioral Health Transformation is DHCS’ work to implement Proposition 1. DHCS holds regular public listening sessions. Updates and recordings of the sessions are available on the Behavioral Health Transformation, Stakeholder Engagement webpage.

面向 Medi-Cal 会员推出的全新美国手语 (ASL) 翻译视频

7 月 15 日，DHCS 发布了三个新的 ASL 翻译视频，涵盖了对 Medi-Cal 会员重要的相关主题。 这些视频有助于确保所有成员都能获取重要信息： 

• 第一个视频“获取口译服务”提供了有关 Medi-Cal 成员可用的口译服务的信息，包括 ASL 口译，并解释了获取这些服务的权利和责任、为什么应该使用专业口译员，以及如何请求医疗预约的口译服务。
• 第二个视频“账单保护”解释了同时拥有 Medicare 和 Medi-Cal（双重合格成员）的人的账单保护。 它详细说明了医疗保险涵盖的内容、费用分摊的运作方式以及针对不当计费的保护措施。
• The third video, Default Enrollment Pilot, provides information about a pilot program in California designed to help Medi-Cal members who are newly eligible for Medicare. The program aims to simplify the transition to Medicare and ensure seamless coverage.
