Recommendation To: Health Care Services, Department of
Health Care Services should ensure that it performs annual medical audits of local initiatives as required by law.
Response
MRB has fully implemented the annual medical audits for each of the previously existing 21 Medi-Cal managed care plans. A 22nd plan opened and will be audited in the subsequent year as well. DHCS is fully integrated with the Department of Managed Health Care (DMHC) to coordinate and conduct joint audits. As the DMHC is on a triennial cycle, approximately every third MRB audit is a joint endeavor. DHCS has published the reports on the Managed Care Quality and Monitoring Division's website.
