Industry Insight

By OPEN MINDS Circle

The California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) released the update on December 22, 2022. It presents updates on the state’s plans to rollout a new Medicaid benefit, Enhanced Care Management (ECM), to specific populations. The new benefit is part of the state’s California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM) Medicaid waiver. The ECM benefit is part of the broader CalAIM population health management system design through which managed care plans (MCPs) offer care management interventions at different levels of intensity based on member need. ECM, the highest intensity level, covers outreach and engagement, comprehensive assessment and care management, and comprehensive transitional care.
