Adult Correctional Health Program, California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal Justice Involved

Initiative (CalAIM JI)

The County of Sacramento, Department of Health Services (DHS), Adult Correctional Health Program is

seeking a qualified agency(ies) to provide Enhanced Care Management (ECM) services under CalAIM JI. This

initiative aims to expand pre-release services for justice-involved individuals within Sacramento County jails

and those transitioning back into the community, connecting them to Primary Health, Behavioral Health, and

other reentry services and supports.

Sacramento County operates two adult correctional facilities with an average daily population of approximately

3,300 adults, and more than 34,000 individuals are booked into the County jail each year. On average, 2,400

patients are discharged monthly, highlighting the need for effective coordination and continuity of care. The

selected contractor(s) will play a vital role in supporting successful reentry and reducing health disparities by

ensuring seamless care transitions. Pre-release services are initiated at intake and may continue post-release to

promote stabilization and successful reintegration into the community, including development, implementation,

and oversight of individuals’ whole-person care plans that are designed to address both clinical and non-clinical

needs of justice-involved individuals.

The Agency(ies) MUST meet ALL of the following minimum requirements:

1. Single agency responses only. No collaborations, partnerships, multi-agency or fiscal sponsorship

responses will be accepted.

2. Be located within and currently deliver services in Sacramento County.

3. Have policies and procedures for HIPAA compliance, patient confidentiality, and information sharing

with correctional facilities.

4. Must be a Medi-Cal enrolled provider or able to become enrolled prior to contract execution.

5. Must have the ability to contract with Sacramento County Medi-Cal Managed Care Plans (MCPs).

6. Must have one year of experience providing services (e.g., case management, pre-release, etc.) within

a county jail system.

7. Have at least three years of experience successfully providing health, behavioral health, and case

management or reentry services to high-need and justice-involved populations, including demonstrated

ability to link individuals to appropriate services such as health plans, primary care providers,

pharmacy services, mental health providers, and dental care.

8. Experience addressing health disparities, social determinants of health and barriers to receiving care

for justice-involved communities, including but not limited to linkage to transportation, housing, and

social support programs.

9. Have a mission that includes a focus on individualized and whole-person care, an understanding of

health concerns, and the ability to provide patients with necessary knowledge and information to

improve health outcomes of priority populations.

10. Demonstrated experience delivering behavioral health services, including mental health and substance

use treatment, with the ability to coordinate timely linkages to care through Sacramento County

Behavioral Health and community-based providers to justice-involved individuals.
