管理護理組織(MCO)稅務聯邦批准​​ 

今天,聯邦醫療保險中心 & 醫療補助服務(CMS)批准了 MCO 聯邦稅務豁免,為 DHCS 在授權生效期間推行 MCO 稅務,在未來有關醫療保健相關稅款的聯邦要求的任何變化情況下,為 DHCS 為繼續推行 MCO 稅。

議會條例草案 119(2023 年章程第 13 章)授權從 1、2023 年 4 月至 12 月 31、2026 起實施 MCO 稅。 MCO 稅估計在 3.75 年的稅收期內提供 19.4 億美元的非聯邦資金淨額。 在獲得適用的支付和費率方法的撥款和聯邦批准後,MCO 稅收將用於支持 Medi-Cal 計劃,包括但不限於目標提供商費率提高和其他投資,以提高 Medi-Cal 會員的訪問權、質量和權益,並促進提供商參與 Medi-Cal 計劃。

根據州法律,DHCS 將以書面日證明已收到聯邦批准,並向每個受稅的 MCO 發出通知,概述每個稅期應付的稅款以及分期稅付款的日期。 此外,DHCS 將在其網站上發布與 MCO 稅有關的信息,包括批准信,每個稅期應付的稅金額以及其他相關信息。 將在未來的利益相關者更新中提供這些資源位置的鏈接。​​ 


更新了長期服務和支持 (LTSS) 數據儀表板​​ 
DHCS today released an updated LTSS data dashboard that features additional measures and improves data transparency and accessibility. As the state drives significant improvements in quality and health equity for Medi-Cal members, the LTSS data dashboard reports utilization and demographic data of long-term services and supports provided by counties and Medi-Cal managed care plans (MCP). It will allow users to explore trends across services and subpopulations throughout California.  

The new December 2023 LTSS data dashboard includes data from 2017 through 2022 and features 16 additional utilization measures for home health services, the California Community Transitions project, and services utilized by Californians with developmental disabilities. The LTSS data dashboard will be updated biannually, future iterations will include additional cost and quality measures, and data will demonstrate progress toward “rebalancing” LTSS away from institutional care toward home and community-based services.

即將舉行的利害關係人會議和網絡​​ 

加強護理管理 (ECM) 和社區支持醫療保健通用程序編碼系統(HCPCS)編碼指導網絡研討會​​ 

12 月 18 日上午 11 點至中午 12 點,DHCS 將舉辦網路研討會,概述 ECM 和社區支援 HCPCS 編碼指南的最新更新(需提前註冊)。DHCS 最初於 2021 年發佈指南,其中包括必須用於報告 ECM 和「社區支援」服務的 HCPCS 代碼和修改項。這包括 ECM 和社區支援服務提供者提交給 MCP 用於索賠或開票的遭遇資料,以及 MCP 提交給 DHCS 用於監控計劃績效和完整性的遭遇資料。根據 ECM 和社區支援實施初期利益相關者提交的反饋意見,DHCS 更新了本指南,以提高全州資料標準化水平並減輕行政負擔。

具體而言,DHCS 增加了新的 ECM 和社區支援 HCPS 代碼/修改器組合,並規定 MCP 不得要求或允許其服務提供者報告超出 DHCS 在指南中定義的 ECM 和社區支援服務代碼或修改器。此網路研討會將為 MCP、ECM 和社區支援服務提供者,以及其他有興趣的利害關係人提供機會,進一步瞭解 ECM 和社區支援 HCPS 編碼指南的更新內容,並提出相關問題。

醫療費率提高網路研討會​​ 

12 月 19 日,DHCS 將舉辦網路研討會,與醫療服務提供者分享有關 Medi-Cal 費率調漲的資訊,調漲將如何及何時在 Medi-Cal FFS 和管理性護理提供系統中實施,調漲將於 1 月1,2024 生效。12 月 1 日,DHCS 在DHCS 網站上公佈了新的 FFS 費率。

根據《福利與制度法》第 14105.201 節、在聯邦批准的情況下,DHCS 將提高目標程序代碼的 FFS 費率,使其不低於適用聯邦醫療保險費率的 87.5%。DHCS 將指示 Medi-Cal MCP 確保他們向網絡醫療服務提供者支付的目標程序代碼費用不低於新的 FFS 補償水平。受影響的服務為基本照護服務,包括由醫師和非醫師專業人員提供的服務、產科和婦女陪產服務,以及非專科心理健康服務。

2023 年 8 月,DHCS 徵求公眾對目標程序代碼清單和 FFS 費率增加方法的意見,並於 9 月向 CMS 提交州計劃修正案 23-0035。此外,DHCS 與一個 MCP 工作小組緊密合作,以制定如何在管理性護理服務系統中實 施新的付款期望(定向付款安排)。由於 MCPs 需要更新他們的系統和服務提供者合約,增加的費率不會立即在管理性護理服務系統中支付。DHCS 將透過書面指引,正式訂定 MCP 的合規時間表,以全面實施增加的付款水準(如適用),並追 溯至 1 月1 ,2024 。

加州推出新的阿片類藥物資源網站​​ 

California launched a new, comprehensive opioid website that gives Californians a single resource for prevention, data, treatment, and support information. The website, OPIOIDS.CA.GOV, is part of Governor Newsom’s multi-pronged approach to connect Californians with information to prevent and reduce overdoses and deaths and support those struggling with substance use and addiction.

All Californians should visit OPIOIDS.CA.GOV to learn more and help us spread awareness and save lives. Together we can make a difference in combating this crisis.

We are also interested in hearing feedback from our partners about this new resource as we continue to iterate and improve the website. Please share your thoughts or comments with us at CommsOutreach@cdph.ca.gov.

二零二四年一月醫療通訊系統轉型​​ 

As part of Medi-Cal transformation, some MCPs are changing on January 1, 2024, and approximately 1.2 million members will have new health plan options and/or will need to transition to new MCPs. Changing MCPs will not affect Medi-Cal member coverage or benefits. Members transitioning to a new MCP received notices about the transition. DHCS developed several resources to support members, providers, and other stakeholders with the transition, including the Managed Care Plan Transition Member webpage with a county “lookup” tool, links to member notices sent by Medi-Cal about MCP changes, frequently asked questions, and a Contact Us page for members to learn more about health plans and provider choices. There are also transition resources for providers and MCPs and stakeholders. More information about the transition is available in the 2024 Managed Care Plan Transition Policy Guide and Medi-Cal Eligibility Division Information Letter Number I 23-54.
