California Medicaid Managed Care Contracts & Winning Proposals

California calls its state Medicaid program Medi-Cal. The state provides Medicaid managed care through six different models. Each county is able to choose one of the six models.

County Organized Health System (COHS)

In this model, health plans are created by one or more County Boards of Supervisors. The COHS plan is the only available Medicaid plan in the designated county or region and all Medi-Cal beneficiaries are enrolled in the plan, with the exception of partial benefit dual eligibles.
Six health plans serve the 22 counties that utilize this model. The counties include: Del Norte, Humbolt, Lake . . .
