Summary
California DHCS has established new Medi-Cal provider enrollment requirements for Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) providing Justice-Involved Reentry Initiative services. CBOs must now attest that their Community Health Workers meet specific qualifications and report detailed information about all staff providing JI services when billing Medi-Cal.
Action Required
For CBOs providing Justice-Involved services: Report the name, NPI, professional license number (if applicable), and SSN/ITIN of all licensed and unlicensed individuals delivering JI services when billing DHCS or Medi-Cal Managed Care Plans. Maintain documentation to support provider qualifications for potential DHCS audits.
