加州提交申請擴大鐮狀細胞疾病治療 

3月11日,DHCS向CMS申請參與開創性的細胞和基因治療(CGT)准入模式。如果獲得批准,DHCS 將實施這項多年計劃,以擴大 Medi-Cal 會員獲得創新且可能改變人生的鐮狀細胞疾病 (SCD) 療法的機會。鐮狀細胞疾病是一種嚴重的遺傳性血液疾病,對非裔族群的影響尤其嚴重。基因療法是治療鐮狀細胞貧血症的突破性方法。然而,這些療法的費用非常高昂,使得患者和醫療補助計劃(包括 Medi-Cal)難以獲得這些療法。CGT 准入模式透過協商回扣制度來應對這項挑戰,該制度將這些治療費用與患者的治療結果掛鉤。如果治療效果未達到預期的健康改善效果,藥品生產者將向醫療補助計畫提供回扣,以幫助確保財務可持續性,同時擴大醫療服務的覆蓋範圍。如果加州獲得批准,符合資格的 Medi-Cal 會員將獲得基因治療、生育力保存服務、個案管理、旅行援助和行為健康支援。CMS預計將在11年的運行期內測試此模型。如果獲得批准,加州將在7月1 、 2025開始參與該模式。

傳統醫療保健實踐福利實施 

On March 21, DHCS published Behavioral Health Information Notice (BHIN) 25-007 – Traditional Health Care Practices Benefit Implementation. This policy, the result of years of dedicated effort and advocacy from California Tribal leaders and partners, provides guidance on the implementation of the traditional health care practices benefit in the Drug Med-Cal Organized Delivery System (DMC-ODS). The federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) approved DHCS to cover traditional health care practices provided by Indian Health Care Providers (IHCP) for Medi-Cal members in DMC-ODS counties through December 31, 2026, unless extended or amended. Traditional health care practices encompass two new service types: Traditional Healer and Natural Helper services. DMC-ODS counties will cover Traditional Healer and Natural Helper services provided by IHCPs to Medi-Cal members who meet DMC-ODS access criteria. For questions about traditional health care practices or this BHIN, please email traditionalhealing@dhcs.ca.gov

此外,DHCS 將於 4 月 22 日在部落和印第安人健康計劃代表會議上介紹 BHIN 25-007 的概況(需要提前註冊)。本次演講對外開放,將回顧相關政策指導,以支持 IHCP 和 DMC-ODS 縣實施這項新福利。鼓勵與會者提前將問題提交至traditionalhealing@dhcs.ca.gov,郵件主題為「傳統醫療保健實踐實施」。

專案更新

現已上載:關閉循環推薦實施指南的網絡研討會材料 

Effective July 1, 2025, Medi-Cal managed care plans will be required to implement Closed-Loop Referral (CLR) requirements for Enhanced Care Management (ECM) and Community Supports. CLR requirements aim to increase the number of Medi-Cal members successfully connected to these benefits and services. By improving information collection processes, managed care plans will be able to better support individual referrals and address system-level gaps in referral practices and service availability that impact members. DHCS released materials from the February 13 webinar (posted under Informational Webinars) to share more details about these requirements. In the webinar, DHCS provided: 

  • 該部門發布新的CLR要求的目標和動機。
  • CLR 要求如何通過簡化推薦跟踪,支持和監控工作來改善會員推薦過程。 
  • 關於 CLR 要求如何幫助成員獲得醫療量身定制的膳食社區支持的示例使用案例情況。
