Background Information:
Partnership HealthPlan of California (PHC) is a non-profit community-based health care organization that contracts with the State of California through Department of Healthcare Services (DHCS) to administer Medi-Cal benefits through local care providers to ensure Medi-Cal recipients have access to comprehensive quality care. PHC covers assigned enrollees in twenty-four counties, which includes many rural communities.
The Access Grant Program is a grant being administered through PHC. In times of provider shortages and access challenges, the Access Grant will play a crucial role in promoting equitable healthcare access, improving health outcomes and health equity for members. The grant’s purpose is to aid in the completion of facility renovations in order to provide access to care for Medi-Cal members enrolled with PHC in Tehama County.
This Amendment will extend the termination date and allow more time for certain renovation projects to be completed due to unforeseen delays.
