What are Enhanced Care Management Services?
Enhanced Care Management (ECM) is a new benefit for Medi-Cal members. It comes from a new Medi-Cal program called California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal, also called CalAIM. This benefit helps members with complex needs coordinate their care.
​
If you qualify for ECM, you will be assigned a lead case manager. Your lead case manager will talk with doctors, mental health providers, specialists, pharmacists, case managers, social services providers, and others. They will make sure everyone works together to get you the care you need. A lead case manager can also help you find and apply for other services in the community.
