Briefing — Improving Quality in Medi-Cal Managed Care: Part Two

Medi-Cal provides vital health coverage for low-income Californians, including over 40% of all the state’s children, half of those with disabilities, more than a million seniors, and one in five workers. Over 80% of Medi-Cal enrollees (about 11 million Californians) get their care through a managed care plan. Everyone in Medi-Cal, regardless of where they live or their managed care plan, should have the same opportunity to get timely, high-quality care. But today access to and quality of care varies widely within the Medi-Cal managed care system. This means some enrollees are much more likely than others to get life-saving preventive care or essential treatment for chronic conditions. CHCF hosted a briefing on how California can improve quality and access within Medi-Cal managed care. Learn more at https://www.chcf.org/event/briefing-improving-quality-medi-cal-managed-care/.
