Medi-Cal 中的助产服务

加利福尼亚州目前认可两种助产士:认证护士助产士(CNM),有时也称为护士助产士(NMW)和执业助产士(LM)。LM 和 CNM 均可独立执业,不需要医生监督,并且有资格向加州卫生保健服务部 (DHCS) 注册成为 Medi-Cal 提供者。已加入 Medi-Cal 的 CNM 和 LM 可以在其适用的执业范围内,通过按服务收费 (FFS) 和管理式医疗交付系统中的管理式医疗计划 (MCP) 提供 Medi-Cal 承保的福利和服务。

如何成为 Medi-Cal 助产士

The majority of California’s Medi-Cal pregnant enrollees are cared for through Managed Care Plans (MCP) a smaller number are cared for through fee for service (FFS). Midwives (CNMs and LMs) may enroll through the Provider Application and Validation for Enrollment (PAVE) portal  to submit their Medi-Cal application to provide care for to people through both FFS and MCP.

Midwives (CNMs and LMs) interested in serving Medi-Cal managed care plan (MCP) members will also need to enter contracts with the member’s Medi-Cal MCP plan. LMs and CCNMs must contact the Medi-Cal MCP directly for instructions on how to become a Medi-Cal MCP network provider.

Medi-Cal 服务费用 (FFS)

通过 PAVE 注册 Medi-Cal 即可开始享受 Medi-Cal FFS 福利。DHCS 按照州政府制定的费率直接支付给按服务付费 (FFS) 计划覆盖的个人所接受的护理费用。请查看当前的加州医疗补助计划(Medi-Cal)费率

Medi-Cal 管理式医疗:

CNMs and LMs interested in providing services to Medi-Cal managed care members who receive care through Medi-Cal MCPs must first enroll with Medi-Cal through PAVE. After enrolling with PAVE they must contract directly with the MCPs.  Only CNMs and LMs who entered into contracts with Medi-Cal MCPs will be able to receive reimbursement for services provided to MCP members.
