Medi-Cal managed care plans are becoming an even more critical part of the Medi-Cal landscape, with increasing responsibility for new services and for management of new populations not previously part of managed care. In 2024, many California counties will experience major changes around which Medi-Cal managed care plans operate there.

Medi-Cal Explained: 2024 Medi-Cal Managed Care Plans by County offers county-by-county breakdowns of where managed care plans will operate next year — along with noteworthy changes, such as when an existing plan is exiting a region and when a new plan is taking on responsibility for enrollees in the area. The fact sheet also includes an alphabetical list by managed care plan to ease tracking of where, for example, Anthem Blue Cross will be active compared with Health Net or Kaiser Permanente.

An additional CHCF fact sheet, Medi-Cal Explained: Administration of Non-Specialty Mental Health Services, lists all 2024 Medi-Cal managed care plans and indicates how they cover non-specialty mental health services.

Both fact sheets are available for download below.
