State announces that home-grown Community Health Group will continue, alongside Molina and Blue Shield, to manage benefits
About 366,000 fewer San Diego County residents on Medi-Cal will have to change health plans as a result of an announcement from the California Department of Health Care Services Friday.
Medi-Cal is the state’s implementation of Medicaid, the nation’s health insurance safety net program estimated to cover more than 90 million Americans, about 14 million of whom reside in California. The program offers a wide array of services based on income and disability status. The move would have been particularly disruptive for Community Health Group’s clients, as the organization has been operating in the region for decades.
In addition to CHG, contracts in San Diego will be awarded to Molina, Blue Shield and Kaiser. Health Net, and several other providers with a few thousand members each, will have to change plans, though the number appears to be fewer than 100,000, less than one-fourth as many as was the case after the initial summer announcement.
