California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal Justice-Involved Initiative (CalAIM JI)​

In January 2023, California became the first state in the nation to be approved to begin providing specified Medicaid services in adult and juvenile correctional facilities. This is a multi-pronged initiative that endeavors to facilitate the continuous provision of healthcare services to individuals transitioning out of correctional settings; extensive readiness assessments and cross-departmental coordination are required. As counties implement this program alongside various stakeholders, CSAC will continue to provide ongoing updates and guidance from the state, convene counties for vital information sharing and learning opportunities, and advocate for adequate, long-term funding necessary for successful implementation of the CalAIM JI initiative.
