FAIRFIELD, Calif. — Partnership HealthPlan of California, or PHC, has awarded more than $8 million in a second round of state Department of Health Care Services grant funding for community organizations through the CalAIM Incentive Payment Program.

This brings the total to nearly $16.5 million. The grants are awarded to organizations across the 14-county region served by PHC, which administers Medi-Cal benefits for more than 600,000 members.

The grant program supports the launch and sustainability of CalAIM — California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal — a multi-year initiative by DHCS to improve the quality of life and health outcomes of individuals on Medi-Cal by implementing broad delivery system, as well as program and payment reform.

Specifically, the grant program awards funds to providers of Enhanced Care Management and Community Supports, two key elements of the CalAIM initiative.

“We know that health and wellness are about more than a primary care provider treating a patient in a clinic,” said PHC Chief Executive Officer Liz Gibboney. “Enhanced Care Management and Community Supports are part of a broader approach to caring for our members, and we’re happy to support these providers by awarding funds on behalf of DHCS.”

The CalAIM initiative utilizes the Medi-Cal program to help address the multifaceted challenges facing California's most vulnerable residents such as individuals experiencing homelessness, behavioral health care access, children with complex care needs, the growing number of justice-involved populations who have significant clinical needs and the growing aging population.
