Summary
Health Net California is launching a brief clinical intervention called 'One Small Thing' to be integrated into postpartum visits across Fresno, Kings, and Madera counties. This 1-2 minute intervention is designed to strengthen patient support and improve follow-up care during postpartum visits. While no specific billing code changes are mandated, providers should be aware this represents a new care delivery expectation for postpartum encounters.
Action Required
Immediately: Providers and clinical staff should download and review the 'One Small Thing' flyer (PDF) from the Health Net provider library. Incorporate this 1-2 minute intervention into all postpartum visit workflows in Fresno, Kings, and Madera counties. Update encounter templates or clinical protocols to document completion of this intervention. Verify that postpartum visit documentation reflects the completion of this supportive care component. No billing code changes are required, but compliance with this clinical expectation may be monitored by the health plan.
