Ventura County's local Medi-Cal plan achieves excellence across care measures for members
CAMARILLO, Calif. - HaryanaBlog -- Gold Coast Health Plan (GCHP) connected more Medi-Cal members with vital health care screenings and immunizations in 2023, surpassing regulatory health care quality metrics and ranking it as one of only four managed care plans in the state to meet required performance levels.
The state Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), the agency that oversees the Medi-Cal program, requires managed care plans like GCHP to report annually on a set of health care quality performance measures known as the Managed Care Accountability Set (MCAS). Health plans are evaluated in 18 measures in four key health categories: children's health, reproductive health and cancer prevention, chronic disease management, and behavioral health.
At the end of 2023, GCHP exceeded the minimum performance level (MPL) – or the 50th percentile nationally-established benchmark – on nearly 94% of the measures – achieved through an extraordinary system-wide effort that resulted in the closure of nearly 40,000 more care gaps than the previous year. GCHP achieved or exceeded the MPL for all eight children's health measures, joining a small group of four health plans to reach this milestone. In Ventura County, this effort resulted in:

Since 2023, GCHP has implemented various quality improvement initiatives, including a $50-million provider incentive program aimed at integrating the operations and data sharing necessary between providers and GCHP to ensure that members receive timely, reliable, and comprehensive care. GCHP provided an additional $767,000 in incentives for members who completed recommended preventive care.
"This achievement is a testament to the power of collaboration," said Laura Espinosa, chair of the Ventura County Medi-Cal Managed Care Commission, which governs GCHP. "By working together, the GCHP team and its dedicated providers and community partners were able to make significant strides in improving access to care, promoting the importance of wellness, and ultimately ensuring better outcomes for Medi-Cal members in our community. The GCHP Team has our unwavering support as it works to build on this momentum."
For 2024 and 2025, GCHP has continued to enhance its quality initiatives with a focus on collaboration and innovation to boost health care quality performance in the areas of asthma care and behavioral health, and start building capabilities for new quality measures, along with an ongoing investment in members by distributing $1.7 million in member incentives in 2024.
"Our health care system in Ventura County is well-positioned today to deliver even better results in the future," Dr. Nuñez said.
