Enhanced Care Management

Managed Care Plans that already provide medical coverage for low-income Californians, are now able to provide access to other necessary supports to improve the health and well-being of Medi-Cal members including Enhanced Care Management, and Community Support for help with other social services such as housing and food.

To learn more about Gold Coast Health Plan’s implementation of Enhanced Care Management and Community Support services, visit the GCHP CalAIM webpage at: https://www.goldcoasthealthplan.org/for-providers/provider-resources/calaim-resources/
