California

in 2010, California was approved for a Section 1115 Medicaid Waiver launching the Bridge to Reform which resulted in several changes including expanding Medicaid coverage, reforming safety-net hospitals, and promoting coordinated systems of care for dual eligibles and persons with disabilities. The Delivery System Reform Incentive Pool (DSRIP) is a program offering safety-net hospitals in California funds to make investments in infrastructure, system design and improvements in population health. More than half of participating hospitals expanded medical homes which included expanding primary care capacity, chronic care management, and integration of physical and behavioral health care. Under the Bridge to Reform, the California Children's Services Program Demonstration included pilot programs to improve coordination of care through medical homes, improve satisfaction with care, and develop family-centered care.  In 2012, a waiver amendment provided for the California Duals Demonstration program - Cal MediConnect - that will be implemented in eight California counties in 2014. The program aims to improve care coordination for dual eligible beneficiaries and drive high quality care through medical homes.

California encourages issuers selling Qualified Health Plans (QHPs) in the Marketplace, Covered California, to assist enrollees in selecting a primary care provider, Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) or a patient-centered medical home (PCMH) within 60 days of enrollment.
