The ASCMI Form is a release of information form that Medi-Cal Partners—including counties, agencies, providers, health plans, community-based organizations, and others—may use to obtain their clients’ consent to exchange their sensitive health and social services information. DHCS piloted the ASCMI Form in 2023 and is excited to publish a revised version for Medi-Cal Partners’ use when seeking to exchange their Members’ sensitive information to coordinate their care.
The DSAG Toolkits illustrate real-world scenarios that will help Medi-Cal Partners navigate complex data sharing and privacy laws and understand when consent is or is not needed to share information to support care coordination across sectors.
