California Medicaid Phase-In Methodology For Whole-Child Model

The document was released in January 2017 by the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS). It outlines the state's plans for a Medicaid Whole-Child Model (WCM) of care that incorporates California Children's Services (CCS)-covered services into County Organized Health System (COHS) contracts. The WCM is an organized delivery system that will provide comprehensive, coordinated services for children and youth with special health care needs through enhanced partnerships with COHS health plans, and up to four two-plan model managed care plans . . .
