兒童和青少年加入加強照護管理服務增加了近三倍；自推出以來為會員提供了近 100 萬個社區支持服務​​ 

SACRAMENTO — The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) today shared new data showing how Enhanced Care Management (ECM) and Community Supports are increasing and helping more people as part of the state’s Medi-Cal transformation under California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM).​​ 

“The trends reflected in the data demonstrate the real and growing impact of CalAIM in supporting the health and well-being of Medi-Cal members,” said DHCS Director Michelle Baass. “We’re seeing especially strong progress in reaching children and youth, expanding access to critical supports like housing and food, and growing the provider networks needed to deliver these services. Together, these efforts are helping more Californians live healthier, more stable lives.”​​ 

WHAT THE NUMBERS SHOW: Since ECM launched in January 2022, more than 326,000 unique Medi-Cal members have enrolled in this benefit that provides comprehensive, person-centered care coordination for members with complex needs. In the last three months of 2024 alone, more than 149,400 members received ECM services, including more than 31,000 children and youth under 21, nearly four times more than when ECM launched for these groups in July 2023.​​ 

社區支持也正在接觸更多 Medi-Cal 成員。截至 2024 年底，約有 368,400 名會員使用這些服務，共提供了超過 920,000 個服務。這些支持為傳統醫療保健提供符合成本效益的社區基礎的替代方案，解決影響健康的社會因素。在 2024 年第四季獲得社區支持的人中：​​ 

• 近 60％ 訪問醫療量身定制的餐點/醫療支持食物。​​ 
• 約 40% 使用了一項或多項房屋三項服務（房屋過渡導航服務，房屋租賃和持續服務，以及房屋存款）。​​ 

WHY THIS MATTERS: More Medi-Cal members with complex medical and social needs are accessing ECM and Community Supports. Key drivers of growth include:​​ 

• 兒童和青少年服務的顯著擴展，其 ECM 入學率較 2024 年增加了近 160%。​​ 
• 正義參與會員的提供商穩定增長，合約 ECM 提供商提供商在 2023 年底至 2024 年底期間，成年人每季增長 14%，青年每季 32%。​​ 
• Increased access and scale of Community Supports, now available in 40 counties, with 91 percent of Medi-Cal members having access to at least 10 services.​​ 

PROVIDER NETWORKS ARE GROWING: The number of providers delivering ECM and Community Supports has grown significantly. Managed care plans now hold approximately 2,600 provider contracts for Community Supports alone, up from about 750 in early 2022. This reflects a strong commitment from community-based organizations, housing providers, and local health systems to support CalAIM’s goals.​​ 

COMMUNITY SUPPORTS ARE COST-EFFECTIVE: DHCS’ June 2025 cost-effectiveness report shows that Community Supports help reduce overall health care costs by preventing avoidable hospitalizations, emergency room visits, and long-term institutional care, while improving health outcomes.​​ 

WHAT’S NEXT: Starting January 1, 2026, Transitional Rent will become a mandatory Community Support and will be available to provide up to six months of rental assistance to members who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness, are experiencing significant behavioral health needs, and meet certain risk factors. This is another important step in making sure Medi-Cal members have the support they need to live healthy, stable lives in their communities.​​ 

DHCS will continue to center feedback from Medi-Cal members to ensure ECM and Community Supports are responsive, accessible, and equitable. By listening closely to people who are directly impacted, California aims to enhance the effectiveness of these programs and better support members’ health and well-being.​​
