DHCS Major Program Initiatives – Go-Live Dates (Updated)
From California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM) to transforming the state’s behavioral health programs, DHCS’ initiatives provide equitable access to quality health care, leading to a healthy California for all. The links below reflect DHCS’ major program initiatives and anticipated go-live dates, pending readiness and federal approvals. This useful resource available on the DHCS website has been updated, as of November 22, and new information will be added as needed:
DHCS Major Program Initiatives – Go-Live Dates.
新的家庭協定門戶網站將於 2025 年 1 月推出
On January 13, 2025, the Family Planning, Access, Care, and Treatment (Family PACT) program’s client eligibility and enrollment transaction services will transition from the Health Access Programs Client Eligibility System to a new Family PACT portal. To access the new portal, existing users must confirm their site certifier contact information in the Provider Application and Validation for Enrollment (PAVE) portal to ensure it is up to date. If Family PACT providers do not have a current site certifier in PAVE, they must email the site certifier information (National Provider Identifier, first and last name, and email address) to providerservices@dhcs.ca.gov by December 13. Detailed instructions for accessing the Family PACT portal will be emailed to all enrolled and actively billing Family PACT site certifiers on January 12, 2025.
To support Family PACT providers during this transition, beginning in December 2024, providers will have access to comprehensive training materials and webinars through the Family PACT Online Training Center Learning Management System. These resources will ensure that providers are equipped to use the Family PACT portal effectively before it launches.
提供存取和轉型健康（PATH）技術協助（TA）市場第五輪供應商採購
On January 1, 2025, DHCS will open the PATH TA Marketplace Round 5 vendor application. The deadline to apply is January 31, 2025. Round 5 will be a targeted procurement for new and existing hands-on service offerings that address TA Marketplace gaps. The Round 5 procurement will seek TA vendor applications for all seven TA domains, but will focus on services for the following provider types: rural providers, Medi-Cal Tribal and Designee of Indian Health Program providers, maternal and child-serving providers, and transitional rent providers.
DHCS will not accept submissions for new off-the-shelf projects or changes to existing off-the-shelf projects during the Round 5 procurement period. Instead, the Round 5 application will solicit on-demand resources from existing TA vendors. The resources must be already fully developed, meet the needs of the TA Marketplace, and include a final cost. Organizations interested in applying to qualify as a TA vendor are encouraged to review the guidance document. Please submit questions to ta-marketplace@ca-path.com.
PATH 容量和基礎設施轉換、擴展和發展（CITED）第四輪申請
在 2025 年 1 月 6，DHCS 將打開「路徑被引用第四輪」申請窗口。 PATH CITED 計劃提供資金，以建立現場合作夥伴的能力和基礎設施，包括社區組織，醫院，縣機構，部落和其他人，以成功參與 Medi-Cal。 申請 CITED 第四輪資助的截止日期為太平洋標準時間 2025 三月 7 日下午 11 時 59 分。 鼓勵有興趣的組織查閱申請大綱和指導文件，以協助準備申請。 請向 cited@ca-path.com 提交問題。
PATH 隨選資源庫
The PATH On-Demand Resource Library provides free, static resources made available directly through the PATH website for organizations seeking to learn more about PATH and build their understanding and capacity to successfully contribute to Medi-Cal’s transformation. On-demand resources are suitable for organizations at all levels of readiness for Enhanced Care Management (ECM) and/or Community Supports, including for the Justice-Involved Reentry Initiative. Organizations do not need to register as TA recipients or apply to access on-demand resources. New on-demand resources will be available in late 2024. These offerings will include CalAIM navigator and Medi-Cal Managed Care 101 resources.
更新的長期護理（LTC）嵌入常見問題（FAQ）
In October 2024, DHCS released three updated FAQs to help stakeholders navigate the ongoing transition of LTC services to Medi-Cal managed care. The updated FAQ documents further clarify updates that were made in the recently revised All Plan Letters (APL) for each LTC benefit type: Skilled Nursing Facilities (APL 24-009), Subacute Care (APL 24-010), and Intermediate Care Facility for Developmentally Disabled (ICF/DD) Homes (APL 24-011). Additional information and resources related to the LTC Carve-In are available on the CalAIM LTC Carve-In Transition website, Subacute Care Carve-In website, and ICF/DD Carve-In website.
