How California’s Local Plans Deliver Quality, Access and Accountability

Local Health Plans of California (LHPC) member plans are part of the foundation of California’s safety net. As community-based, not-for-profit health plans, they ensure their members have access to high-quality health care coordination that is unmatched by any other state-wide alternative.

Local Plans, Local Impact: How California’s Local Plans Deliver Quality, Access and Accountability white paper and its accompanying fact sheet articulate how local plans invest in their communities and collaborate with federally qualified health centers, public hospitals, and county agencies in the managed care system to provide coordinated, whole-person care. Governed by boards that reflect the communities they serve, local plans operate as mission-driven stewards of public resources. The fact sheet further illustrates the structural protections, care coordination, and member supports that local plans provide through managed care relative to the fee-for-service model. Together, these resources highlight that by embodying the values of quality, access, and accountability, local plans are trusted to deliver exceptional care to the communities they serve.
