ABOUT ENHANCED CARE MANAGEMENT

The Enhanced Care Management (ECM) program is a Medi-Cal managed care benefit that addresses clinical and non-clinical needs of high-need youth and families through the coordination of services, connection to community resources, and comprehensive care management. Team members work with youth and families providing services almost exclusively in the community: in families’ homes, schools, other community locations that's within a 90-mile radius of the program office.
