On March 12, 2019, from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m., the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) will hold a webinar on Developmental and Trauma Screenings. DHCS released its Developmental and Trauma Screenings proposals on March 8, 2019, for public comment. Information about the proposals can be found here. Comments are due by March 22, 2019.
Developmental Screenings – For Fiscal Year (FY) 2019-20, the Governor’s Budget proposes to use $60 million (50 percent Proposition 56 funds/50 percent Federal funds) to support developmental screenings on an ongoing basis for all children with full-scope coverage in Medi-Cal. These screenings will be billed and reimbursed in both the managed care and fee-for-service delivery systems. These payments will be in addition to the amounts paid for the office visit that accompanies the screening in fee-for-service scenarios or capitation paid by Medi-Cal managed care health plans (MCPs).
Trauma Screenings – For FY 2019-20, the Governor’s Budget proposes to use $45 million (50 percent Proposition 56 funds/50 percent Federal funds) to support the first step in trauma-informed care, which is trauma screenings for all children and adults with full-scope coverage in Medi-Cal. These screenings will be billed and reimbursed in both the managed care and fee-for-service delivery systems. These payments will be in addition to the amounts paid for the office visit that accompanies the screening in fee-for-service scenarios or capitation paid by Medi-Cal managed care health plans (MCPs).
