專案更新
免費生殖健康支持
DHCS 正讓 Medi-Cal 提供者了解一項新資源,這項資源可能對他們為 Medi-Cal 會員提供重要的生殖健康照護服務有幫助,並可提供額外的支援。加州大學三藩市分校啟動了生殖健康熱線 (ReproHH),這是一項免費、保密的臨床醫生對臨床醫生諮詢電話服務,提供給所有對性與生殖健康有疑問的醫療服務提供者,包括 Medi-Cal 醫療服務提供者。ReproHH 由在這些臨床領域具備專業知識的醫師所組成,以減少轉診至專科醫師的需求、避免不必要的治療,並提升醫療照護的成效。ReproHH 的電話是 1-844-ReproHH (1-844-737-7644)。ReproHH 可於美國太平洋標準時間 (PDT) 星期一至星期五上午 8 點至下午 4 點(假日除外)隨選隨用。請造訪https://reprohh.ucsf.edu/以獲得更多資訊。Medi-Cal 醫療服務提供者如有問題,或想索取活動或其他分發機會的實物資料,可發送電子郵件至 reprohealthhotline@ucsf.edu。
細胞和基因治療(CGT)政策更新
DHCS received approval from the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) on a second CGT therapy, CASGEVY, with a launch date of October 1, 2025. Updates regarding CASGEVY are being made to the Medi-Cal Provider Manual, and an updated bulletin is forthcoming. The policy for LYFGENIA remains unchanged and became effective on July 1, 2025.
DHCS was accepted into the CGT Access Model for Medi-Cal as of March 25, 2025. This model aims to improve and streamline access to life-changing CGT medications for Medi-Cal members in both the fee-for-service and managed care delivery systems with rare and severe diseases. By promoting better access to these CGT medications, Medi-Cal members are expected to experience improved health outcomes and quality of life. DHCS expects that additional CGT medications for other rare and severe diseases may be added over time and policies would then be updated accordingly. Additional information is available on the CGT Access Model webpage. Please email any questions about the CGT Access Model to DHCSCGT@dhcs.ca.gov.
