California’s Reproductive Health Access Demonstration
DHCS is seeking federal approval to strengthen the State’s reproductive health provider safety net, with an emphasis on ensuring access to sexual and reproductive health services as well as the services and supports to access these services by addressing health-related social needs (HRSNs).
Through a new Section 1115 demonstration, titled California’s Reproductive Health Access Demonstration (CalRHAD), DHCS is requesting expenditure authority under Section 1115(a)(2) to provide grants to reproductive health providers for enhancing capacity and access to sexual and reproductive health services and promoting the sustainability of California’s reproductive health provider safety net, for the benefit of individuals enrolled in Medi-Cal and other Californians who currently face barriers to such access.
加州提議為提供者創建一項新的CalRHAD 撥款專案，以增強性健康和生殖健康服務（包括計劃生育）的能力和獲取機會，為參加加州醫療補助健康保健計劃的個人以及可能需要援助才能獲得此類服務的其他個人提供幫助。 獲得 CalRHAD 補助的提供者將不允許將這些資金用於墮胎服務。 加州目前為參加加州醫療補助健康保健計劃的個人和使用州資金的其他人提供墮胎服務，但沒有聯邦醫療補助配套資金。
