DHCS Stakeholder Updates – June 24, 2022​​ 

尊敬的利益相關者,​​ 

衞生護理服務部(DHCS)正在提供有關 DHCS 計劃的重要發展的此更新,以及與 COVID-19 公共衛生緊急情況有關的指導。​​ 

醫療服務受益人仍然安全的流產權和保障​​  

Despite today’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling striking down the constitutional right to an abortion, Medi-Cal will continue to cover abortion services, uninterrupted, for all Medi-Cal beneficiaries. Although this decision allows states to impose restrictions or ban abortion, California has not pursued any restrictions or bans, and the ruling did not invalidate any California laws or protections that ensure access to abortion in California.​​ 

DHCS’ policies regarding how abortion services are delivered and reimbursed have not changed, nor has the Department’s commitment to providing quality care equitably, and with the goal of reducing health disparities. DHCS remains committed to offering a broad and comprehensive package of reproductive health care services, including abortion, in Medi-Cal, and without judgment or undue restrictions. Medi-Cal beneficiaries can still go to any Medi-Cal provider of their choice for abortion services, at any time and for any reason.​​  

As a covered Medi-Cal benefit, Medi-Cal managed care plans (MCPs) must cover abortion services, including medical services and supplies incidental or preliminary to an abortion, consistent with the requirements outlined in the Medi-Cal provider manual.  All MCPs must implement and maintain procedures that ensure confidentiality and access. Members may go to any provider of their choice for abortion services, at any time and for any reason, regardless of network affiliation. MCPs will offer alternatives (e.g., coverage by fee-for-service or by an out-of-network health plan) if a provider refuses to provide abortion services.​​  

Regardless of today’s federal court ruling, DHCS will continue to ensure coverage of and access to comprehensive reproductive health care, including abortion, for Medi-Cal beneficiaries.​​  

DHCS 領導力變化​​ 

州長加文·紐森委任泰勒·薩德維斯擔任 DHCS 行為健康(BH)副署長(DD)。 薩德維斯自 2021 年 7 月起擔任 BH 助理副署長(ADD),自 2022 年 6 月 1 起擔任醫學衞生署理局長。 DD for BH 在實施 Medi-Cal BH 計劃方面扮演關鍵領導角色,旨在實現公平的醫療保健成果,確保一致獲得高質量護理,並在可行的情況下促進精神健康護理、藥物使用障礙護理和醫療護理的行政和臨床整合。​​ 

DHCS is recruiting for a second ADD for BH, and will begin recruiting to backfill the ADD for the Medi-Cal BH position that Sadwith is vacating. We encourage you to please share these positions with your networks widely.​​ 

Medi-Cal Rx 恢復拒絕代碼​​ 

6 月 22 日,Medi-Cal Rx 向處方者、醫療服務提供者、管理性護理計劃、藥房及其他利益相關者發佈了為期 30 天的恢復通知。兩項針對診斷和藥物使用審查 (DUR) 要求的全國處方藥計畫委員會 (NCPDP) 索賠編輯(拒絕代碼 80 和 DUR NCPDP 拒絕代碼 88)將於 7 月 22 日恢復。​​ 

Medi-Cal Rx 最近進行了一個作業準備性檢查點,以便其與特定索賠編輯相關的恢復工作,以及已暫時取消的特定事先授權要求。 根據數據和指標,確定 Medi-Cal Rx 已準備好進行,並發出 30 天恢復工作通知。​​ 

如需索償或事先授權協助,請致電 Medi-Cal Rx 客戶服務中心,該服務中心全天 24 小時,每週 7 天,每年 365 天,致電 (800) 977-2273,或發送電子郵件 MediCalRxEducationOutreach@magellanhealth.com。​​ 

新冠肺炎疫苗接種更新及提醒​​ 

6 月 22 日,聯邦醫療保險& 聯邦醫療補助服務中心 (CMS) 宣佈,6 個月至 5 歲的 Medicaid 和兒童健康保險計劃 (CHIP) 承保兒童可免費用接種 COVID-19 疫苗。幾乎所有享有 Medicaid、CHIP、基本健康計畫保險、自保雇主贊助保險以及團體和個人健康保險的人都可以免費接種 COVID-19 疫苗,包括加強劑。聯邦醫療保險 (Medicare) 的受保人接種 COVID-19 疫苗不需支付任何費用,也沒有適用的共付額、共同保險或自付額。透過 DHCS 的COVID-19 未投保團體計劃,個人可免費獲得 COVID-19 診斷測試、測試相關服務及治療服務,包括住院及所有醫療上必要的照護,為期最長 12 個月或公共衛生緊急狀況結束時,以先到者為準。提醒您,所有加州人都可以免費接種 COVID-19 疫苗。​​ 

Information about the CDC COVID-19 Vaccination Program Provider Requirements and how the COVID-19 vaccines are provided through that program at no cost to recipients is available on the CMS website and through the COVID-19 Vaccine Policies & Guidance page. Information about DHCS’ COVID-19 vaccine administration for beneficiaries and providers is posted on the DHCS’ COVID-19 Response webpage. DHCS is in the process of updating systems and policy guidance for COVID-19 vaccine administration for children under age 5 and will post the updated guidance on the DHCS COVID-19 Response webpage once finalized.​​ 

兒童和青少年行為健康倡議(CYBHI)索取信息(RFI)​​ 

在 6 月 27 日的星期內,DHCS 將為 CYBHI 發布一個 RFI。 RFI 的目的是邀請供應商審查並回應此非具約束力的 RFI,該 RFI 將向 DHCS 提供信息,以通知在 2024 年 1 月前行為健康虛擬服務平台的規劃,設計,開發和啟動。​​ 

Established as part of the Budget Act of 2021, the CYBHI is a multiyear, multi-department package of investments that seeks to reimagine the systems, regardless of payer, that supports behavioral health for all California’s children, youth, and their families. Efforts will focus on promoting social and emotional well-being, preventing behavioral health challenges, and providing equitable, appropriate, timely, and accessible services for emerging and existing behavioral health (mental health and substance use) needs for children and youth ages 0-25. CYBHI is grounded in focusing on equity; centering efforts around children and youth voices, strengths, needs, priorities, and experiences; driving transformative systems change, and using ongoing learning as the basis for change and improvement in outcomes for children and youth.​​ 

CYBHI 的一個工作流程是為加利福尼亞州所有兒童,青少年和家庭建立和推動採用行為健康虛擬服務平台。 它將支持從預防到治療到康復從公平、適當和及時的行為健康服務提供,並為兒科和基層醫護提供者提供電子諮詢平台,以便與行為健康提供者進行電子諮詢。​​ 

提供存取與轉型健康狀況 (PATH) 網路研討會​​ 

6 月 29 日,DHCS 將舉辦網絡研討會,為有興趣的利益相關者提供有關以下 PATH 計劃的詳細更新:協作規劃和實施;容量和基礎設施轉型、擴展和發展(CITED);以及技術支援市場。 網絡研討會還將作為回答利益相關者關於 PATH 計劃的一般問題的場地。 鼓勵有興趣的利益相關者提前向 1115path@dhcs.ca.gov 提交問題。 參加者還將有機會提出問題。 需提前註冊。​​ 

PATH 是一項五年的計劃,旨在建立和擴大城市,縣和其他政府機構以及縣和社區為基礎的提供者的能力和基礎設施,包括公立醫院,社區組織,部落和印度健康計劃的指定人員以及其他人,以成功參與 CalAim 下提供增強護理管理,社區支持和與正義相關的服務。​​ 

非 Magi MediCal 資產限額變更​​ 

7 月 1 日,DHCS 將對非修改調整總收入(非 MAGI)Medi-Cal 計劃的資產限額實施更改。 通過大會條例草案 133(2021 年第 143 章法規)通過這些變更,將非 Magi 計劃的資產限額提高到每人 130,000 美元,每人每次加入 65,000 元(最多 10 人)。 這些修訂的資產限額取代所有以前非 Magi Medi-Cal 計劃的資產限額(每人 2,000 美元,兩人 3,000 美元)。​​ 

此外,DHCS 就此政策變更提交了第 1115 條豁免,以涵蓋有資格參加 Pickle、殘疾成人兒童和殘疾寡婦計劃(也稱為社會保障收入兌換團體)的個人,並預計在 7 月 1 日前獲得 CMS 批准。​​ 

DHCS 將於 7 月 1 日推出更新的受益人友好網頁。 本網頁將包含常見問題和答案,以及有關受資產限額變更影響的計劃的相關資訊。​​
