Program, the SPD Expansion into Managed Care and<br />
the <strong>Alliance</strong>’s <strong>Health</strong>y Family line of business.<br />
The <strong>Alliance</strong> is working with the <strong>Alameda</strong> County<br />
<strong>Health</strong> Care Services Agency to respond to the<br />
State’s Low-Income <strong>Health</strong> Program (LIHP).<br />
Although the initial medical services <strong>for</strong> this program<br />
will be provided by a closed network of providers we<br />
are currently planning <strong>for</strong> an open provider network.<br />
All parties involved in the planning agree that it is in<br />
everyone’s best interest to have a clinically<br />
integrated public-private network with adequate<br />
coverage.<br />
The Medicaid 1115 Waiver includes mandatory<br />
managed care enrollment of most Medi-Cal<br />
beneficiaries who are Senior and Persons with<br />
Disabilities (SPD). There will be new requirements<br />
mandated to ensure care coordination and consumer<br />
protections. This may result in the Board approving<br />
resolutions that deal with policy changes.<br />
• The <strong>Alliance</strong> has received the 2011 <strong>Health</strong><br />
Families amendment. The amendment<br />
includes several new requirements <strong>for</strong> the<br />
<strong>Alliance</strong>, including:<br />
• The <strong>Alliance</strong> will have to cover CCS services if<br />
the county cannot <strong>for</strong> budget reasons.<br />
