DHCS Holds Public Comment Period on Managed Care Plan-Correctional Facility Memorandum of Understanding (MCP-CF MOU) Template
Back to News
DHCS recently released the draft Managed Care Plan-Correctional Facility Memorandum of Understanding (MCP-CF MOU) template for a stakeholder comment period. As outlined in the Medi-Cal Managed Care Plan Contract and the Policy and Operational Guide for Planning and Implementing the CalAIM Justice-Involved Initiative (CalAIM JI), Managed Care Plans (MCPs) and Correctional Facilities (CFs) must execute MOUs to memorialize their relationship and ensure the provision of whole-system, person-centered care for Medi-Cal beneficiaries.
The MCP-Correctional Facility (CF) MOU becomes effective on January 1, 2026, and includes county jails and youth correctional facilities. DHCS recently hosted a webinar detailing the MCP-CF MOU Template and is requesting feedback on this template by Friday, August 22, 2025 to calaimjusticeadvisorygroup@dhcs.ca.gov using the below MCP-CF MOU Template Feedback Matrix.
