Case Management
Choice in Aging’s Case Management (CM) program is funded through Contra Costa's Measure X safety net half-cent sales tax. The need for Case Management was identified in Contra Costa's local Master Plan for Aging. Two million dollars of Measure X funding is dedicated each year to fulfilling the implementation of this Master Plan, which includes a broad range of initiatives that support aging in community with dignity and support. This initiative prioritizes equitable access to services, ensuring that at least 70% of referrals reach those with the greatest economic and social needs. By fostering social and economic inclusion, this effort aims to enhance quality of life and create a more supportive, connected community for all.

Enhanced Care Management
Enhanced Care Management (ECM) gives qualified Contra Costa Heath Plan members extra services from a dedicated ECM provider that contracts with
CalAIM, a Medi-Cal managed care health plan. The program addresses both clinical and non-clinical needs of eligible individuals through the coordination of services and comprehensive care management. A Lead Care Manager coordinates the member’s health care services, linking them to community and social services. These services are provided at
no cost, as part of the member’s Medi-Cal benefits, and they will not eliminate any of their current benefits.

To be eligible for Choice in Aging’s ECM program, members must be enrolled in both a
Medi-Cal managed care plan (CalAIM)
and
Contra Costa Health Plan. Members must also meet the Eligibility Criteria for the following California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) Population of Focus: “Adults Living in the Community and At Risk for LTC Institutionalization.”
Adults Living in the Community and At Risk for LTC Institutionalization
Overview
Intensive care coordination through ECM can help adults continue to reside in the community who would otherwise have entered an institutional setting for care.
Eligibility Criteria
Adults who:
1) Are living in the community who meet the SNF Level of Care (LOC) criteria: OR who require lower-acuity skilled nursing, such as time-limited and/or intermittent medical and nursing services, support, and/or equipment for prevention, diagnosis, or treatment of acute illness or injury.
AND
2) Are actively experiencing at least one complex social or environmental factor influencing their health (including, but not limited to, needing assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), communication difficulties, access to food, access to stable housing, living alone, the need for conservatorship or guided decision-making, and poor or inadequate caregiving which may appear as a lack of safety monitoring).
AND
3) Can reside continuously in the community with wraparound supports (i.e., some individuals may not be eligible because they have high acuity needs or conditions that are not suitable for home-based care due to safety or other concerns).
