Summary
HealthNet California has updated its Participating Physician Group (PPG) Performance Management processes, implementing a formal Corrective Action Plan (CAP) policy and renaming the oversight committee structure. These governance and accountability changes strengthen performance expectations and require PPGs to align with new corrective action protocols and terminology.
Action Required
Immediately: Billing and provider operations teams must review updated Provider Manual documentation in the Provider Library (Provider Manual > Provider Oversight section) to understand new Corrective Action Plan procedures and updated governance terminology. Contact your Provider Engagement representative at 833-236-4141 (CHPIV Medi-Cal) if clarification is needed on how these performance management changes affect your billing workflows, compliance documentation, or Joint Operations Meeting preparation. While this is primarily an administrative/governance change, ensure clinical and billing staff understand that performance metrics tied to this policy may impact future contract terms or corrective actions.
