On Thursday, August 22, from 10:00 a.m. – 12:00
p.m., the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) will
launch a new virtual learning collaborative series for
justice-involved initiative implementation partners to discuss
the CalAIM waiver requirements and share best practices and
lessons learned. The meeting registration link will be
emailed to implementation partners in each county. The
sessions will be recorded and posted on the
DHCS Justice-Involved Initiative webpage.
The multi-session learning collaborative will include such topics
as the justice-involved screening portal, short-term care model,
covered services, billing and claiming, Enhanced Care Management,
warm hand-offs, auto-assignments, and pharmacy policy. The
session will include facilitated breakout discussions for
correctional facilities, county partners, and Medi-Cal managed
care plans to work collaboratively on regional implementation
efforts. In the week following each session, DHCS will host
office hours to provide an open forum and answer any outstanding
questions from the prior week.
The primary learning collaborative audience is county adult jails
(Sheriff’s Office staff and correctional health care services
partners); county youth correctional facilities (probation staff
and associated correctional health care services providers);
managed care plans; county behavioral health agencies; and the
California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. DHCS
also encourages county partners to invite Enhanced Care
Management providers and reentry providers, as well as any other
key implementation partners, to the sessions. For more
information, email DHCS at CalAIMJusticeAdvisoryGroup@dhcs.ca.gov.
