What identifier is used to determine the correct member in an application programming interface (API) request? MCPs will be issued secure authentication tokens by DHCS to identify their organization. Upon verification, data access will be granted based on attributed members. Detailed instructions will be provided to Technical Representatives during onboarding.
Will delegated entities of MCPs be permitted access to dashboards, specifically the Longitudinal Member Record (LMR) dashboard? No. Access will be limited to prime plans beginning in July 2025. Delegated entities will not have access at this time.
When will Medi-Cal Connect be required for specialty Mental Health Services? 縣級行為Health Plan (BHP) 計劃在第四版中推出,目標是在 2025 年秋季推出。 雖然只有 MCP 被強制要求使用 Medi-Cal Connect 來識別和處理高風險成員,但該平台包含的功能將有助於 BHP 提供護理和績效衡量。
When will API connection instructions be made available? API 配置將於 7 月 18、2025 日開放。技術代表將在入職培訓期間收到詳細的實施指導。
Will updates continue to be made to the existing MCP Monitoring Dashboard? No changes to the current public-facing dashboards are planned as a result of Medi-Cal Connect. The existing MCP Monitoring Dashboard will remain unchanged.
What are the plans for Behavioral Health Plans’ access to and use of Medi-Cal Connect? DHCS 正在努力將行為健康轉型 (BHT) 和 BH-CONNECT 整合到 Medi-Cal Connect 中。其他功能,例如品質指標儀表板和縱向成員記錄,旨在支援 BHP 進行服務交付和數據報告。
Medi-Cal Connect 是否會提供 834 資格/註冊資料交換的 API? At this time, there are no definitive plans to implement an API for 834/ Eligibility/Enrollment data. Should such an API become available, it would adhere to the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) standard. For now, the 834 will remain in use. Updates will be shared as they become available.
Will the quality measures required for BHPs be National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) certified? Medi-Cal Connect utilizes a HEDIS-certified engine, operated by Arcadia, to produce quality rates for measures included in the BH-CONNECT Incentive Program.
Are onboarding dates scheduled for MCPs? Specific onboarding dates have not yet been finalized. Additional information will be provided during upcoming All Plan Engagements in June 2025.
How does Medi-Cal Connect align with the Data Exchange Framework (DxF)? Medi-Cal Connect 在 DxF 的參數範圍內運作。隨著該框架的不斷發展,Medi-Cal Connect 將在促進安全、標準化的資料交換方面發揮關鍵作用。
與DHCS的現有資料交換機制(包括834、274和全支付方索賠資料庫通用資料佈局)是否會發生變化? (APCD-CDL)文件?所有格式都會採用 API 嗎? 雖然醫療保健產業正在考慮向基於 API 的資料交換過渡,但有幾個因素影響著這種轉變——特別是對於 HIPAA 強制執行的交易,如 X12 834 和 837。這些交易受聯邦法規的約束,包括 CORE 營運規則,這使得立即轉換為 API 格式變得複雜。對於非聯邦政府強制要求的資料檔案(例如 APCD-CDL),隨著時間的推移,基於 API 的交換可能更可行。然而,DHCS目前還沒有明確的計劃來實施上述任何格式的API。如果發生此類過渡,DHCS 將提前發出通知,提供詳細指導和實施時間表。目前來看,向基於 API 的交易平台過渡還需要數年時間。
