兒童和青少年行為健康倡議（CYBHI）— 返校

On August 22, from 3 to 5 p.m. PDT, DHCS, in partnership with the Sacramento County Office of Education, will host a public webinar about school-based workstreams as part of the CYBHI. This webinar will cover important decisions and updates across multiple school-based programs, including the CYBHI Fee Schedule program and School-Linked Partnership and Capacity Grant Program.

此外，加州衛生與公共服務局 (CalHHS) 發布了返校月合作夥伴工具包，其中包括社交媒體文案、圖片和視頻，以幫助學校宣傳信息和資源，從而支持青少年在返校季的心理健康。鼓勵學校在返校過渡期間使用該工具包，宣傳DHCS的兩個行為健康虛擬服務平台，這兩個平台為年輕人及其家庭提供免費、安全和保密的心理健康支持： BrightLife Kids面向0-12歲的兒童及其父母或監護人， Soluna面向13-25歲的年輕人。如需了解更多信息，請發送電子郵件至 CYBHI@dhcs.ca.gov 。

加州醫療補助健康保健計劃 Reimbursements for Vaccines for Children (VFC) 專案

Medi-Cal 將向 VFC 計畫下的註冊藥局提供者報銷自 1 月1 、 2023以來為 18 歲及以下符合資格的 Medi-Cal 會員提供的 VFC 資助疫苗的費用。已加入 Medi-Cal 的藥房供應商必須加入 VFC 計劃，才能透過 Medi-Cal 獲得 VFC 資助的疫苗報銷，用於 18 歲及以下會員的疫苗。由於疫苗是根據VFC計劃免費提供的，因此疫苗費用將不予報銷。藥局供應商可以收取三種不同的服務費用以獲得報銷：疫苗管理費、專業配藥費和藥劑師服務費（諮詢和評估[疫苗接種啟動]費）。

如果向 Medi-Cal Rx 提交索賠的處方醫生的國家提供者識別碼已註冊為 Medi-Cal 提供者，則未註冊為 Medi-Cal 訂購、提供和處方 (ORP) 提供者的藥劑師可以收取疫苗管理費。要收取藥劑師服務費，藥劑師必須是已註冊的 Medi-Cal ORP 提供者。

For more detailed guidance, please refer to Medi-Cal Reimbursement of VFC-Enrolled Pharmacy Providers and for VFC and Non-VFC Vaccines – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) or the Medi-Cal Rx Alert, Coming Soon: Medi-Cal Reimbursement for VFC-Enrolled Providers.

DHCS 減少危害高峰會

Registration is currently open for the first two DHCS Harm Reduction Summits in Shasta County (October 24) and San Mateo County (November 19). Through these convenings, DHCS hopes to collaborate with communities across the state to change the culture around the concept of harm reduction within California’s substance use disorder treatment system and to create low-barrier, patient-centered care. DHCS encourages substance use disorder treatment providers and staff (including social workers, peers, front desk staff, case managers, nurses, physicians, and all staff in substance use disorder treatment settings) to attend and learn about best practices for incorporating the tenets of harm reduction into substance use disorder treatment settings. The remaining summits will be in Fresno County, Los Angeles County, and San Diego County in winter 2025. Register on the event website.

家居和社區服務（HCBS）1915（C）發展殘疾人士豁免和 1915（一）州計劃修訂-30 天公眾意見期

On August 2, the Department of Developmental Services (DDS), in partnership with DHCS, posted a proposed amendment to the HCBS 1915(c) waiver and the HCBS 1915(i) State Plan Amendment (SPA) for a 30-day public comment period, prior to submitting the final versions to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services for approval.

The HCBS 1915(c) waiver amendment and 1915(i) SPA would implement the next round of rate increases associated with rate reform effective on January 1, 2025. Additionally, the waiver amendment and SPA would add a new service (person-centered future planning) along with a corresponding provider type and payment methodology, increase rates for financial management service providers, and include new provider personal assistance to community living arrangement services with the opportunity for participants to manage their own services.

All comments must be received by September 1, 2024. DDS and DHCS invite all interested parties to review the amendment and comment instructions on the DDS HCBS Programs webpage. If you have any questions, or to comment on the waiver amendment and/or SPA, please email federal.programs@dds.ca.gov.
