    Event Overview

    As the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) continues to transform Medi-Cal, the state is addressing behavioral health needs, like mental health care and substance use disorder services, through health care. Medi-Cal, California’s Medicaid program, provides coverage for one in three — or 15 million — Californians, and now includes expanded services to meet their health care needs well beyond the doctor’s office.

    At this briefing, DHCS leaders and community health care providers will share how Medi-Cal is helping Californians needing mental health and substance use disorder treatment lead healthier lives.

    This is the third in a series of briefings exploring the ongoing Medi-Cal transformation to create a whole-person health system for all Californians.
