California Medicare Collaborative

California’s over-65 hollywood casino bonus population is diversifying and growing faster than any other age group. By 2030, it will represent a quarter of the population, which means addressing their unique health and long-term care needs will become critical, requiring creative solutioning for the delivery ecosystem. Medicare beneficiaries tend to have chronic conditions, need a variety of providers and services and may experience daily living challenges, leading to difficulty navigating a complex system of medical and nonmedical services when seeking to live a healthy, safe life at home. Medicare-only individuals are often forgotten in their struggles to finance and access hollywood casino promo codes the services and support they need across the health care, behavioral health, and long term services and supports delivery systems.

To address this need, the California Quality Collaborative (CQC), The SCAN Foundation, Archstone Foundation, Gary and Mary West Foundation and Department of Health Care Services Office of Medicare Innovation and Integration, will launch the California Medicare Collaborative, a one-year stakeholder alignment effort beginning in March 2024, dedicated to improving care across the spectrum of Medicare enrollees, including duals, non-duals and those in traditional Medicare and Medicare Advantage programs.

Goals and Areas of Focus

  • Cognitive and behavioral health

  • Support consumer choice in a confusing market
  • Access, equity and disparities in care

Participants
