BACKGROUND:
Prior to 2014, San Mateo County Health's Aging and Adult Services (AAS) division contracted with the California Department of Aging to provide Multipurpose Senior Services Program (MSSP) services, a program of social and health care management services for frail older adults. In 2014, San Mateo County (County) was selected by the State, through Health Plan of San Mateo (HPSM), to be one of eight counties to participate in Cal MediConnect, a program that promoted and coordinated health care delivery for Californians dually eligible for Medicare and Medi-Cal. HPSM paid the County a fixed monthly amount for each Cal MediConnect participant who received MSSP services. This arrangement continued after the three-year pilot.
The new California Advancing and? Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM) initiative was introduced in January 2022. CalAIM offers Medi-Cal recipients services that aim to improve the health and well-being of the whole person, moving Medi-Cal towards a population health approach that prioritizes prevention and whole person care ( the model that coordinates health, behavioral health and social services in a client centered manner). The program is designed to extend supports and services beyond hospitals and health care settings, directly into California communities.
