Welcome to Enhanced Care Management
Enhanced Care Management (ECM) is a statewide free-of-charge Medi-Cal benefit available to members beginning January 1, 2022. ECM aims to provide a whole-person care approach that addresses the complex health and social needs of members enrolled in a Medi-Cal managed health care plan.
The goal of ECM services are to provide comprehensive care and achieve better health outcomes for Medi-Cal beneficiaries by:

- Facilitating community resources
- Addressing social determinants of health
- Improving health outcomes
- Decreasing inappropriate utilization and duplication of services
What Can ECM Do For Me?

This person will talk with you and your doctors, specialists, pharmacists, case managers, social services providers and others to make sure everyone is working together to get you the care you need. Your Lead Care Manager can also help you find and access additional services in your community.

If it was not for the lady I spoke to yesterday…I was in a very bad place. Thank you so much, thank you.
They kept me alive. I don’t know how I would have survived without them.
When I hit my lowest point, Didi Hirsch was my lifeline.
Didi Hirsch helped me a lot - through the therapy, psychiatry, medication, and being able to open up and share in the groups
Before, I was overwhelmed. I learned to open up and talk. I knew I could depend on Didi Hirsch to help us through. It was like a weight being lifted off my shoulders
