The LVN Clinical Liaison is responsible for educating Medi-Cal Members and their families on Medi-Cal specialty programs, such as the Assisted Living Waiver Program (ALWP) and Cal AIM Managed Care Programs, including Enhanced Care Management (ECM) and Community Support (CS) services.  

The Assisted Living Waiver program is designed to assist low-income seniors or adults over 21 with disabilities, giving them an alternative to living at home or in a skilled nursing facility by providing funding to move into the RCFE/ALF care setting.

The Cal AIM Programs offered by Managed Care Plans (MCP) include several specialty programs dedicated to Medi-Cal members.

Enhanced Care Management (ECM) Highlights Enhanced Care Management is a statewide Medi-Cal benefit that addresses the clinical and non-clinical needs of the highest-need Medi-Cal members by building trusting relationships with members and providing intensive coordination of health and health-related services. Lead care managers meet members where they are.

Enhanced Care Management is available to specific groups (called “Populations of Focus”), including:

·       Adults, unaccompanied youth and children, and families experiencing homelessness.

·       Adults, youth, and children at risk for avoidable hospital or emergency department care.

·       Adults, youth, and children with severe mental health and/or substance use disorder needs.

·       Adults living in the community and at risk for long-term care institutionalization

·       Adult nursing facility residents are transitioning to the community.

Community Supports (CS) Highlights Community Supports are statewide services provided by Medi-Cal managed care plans as alternatives to other services covered by Medi-Cal that can help members avoid higher levels of care. Star Nursing offers Community support services including:

·       Housing Transition Navigation Services

·       Housing Deposits

·       Housing Tenancy and Sustaining Services

·       Nursing Facility Transition/Diversion to Assisted Living Facilities

·       Community Transition Services/ Nursing Facility Transition to a Home

The clinical Liaison is responsible for multiple tasks during the workday.  This position prefers a licensed clinical staff member with experience in case management and health care sales in a hospital /LTC/SNF setting and heavy experience in SNF/hospital discharge planning involvement. This Clinical Liaison will work directly with case managers and discharge planners to process Medi-Cal member's referrals in a quick and timely manner. Must have experience with a high-volume workload.  This is a hybrid position, remote and in-patient assessment. In-patient assessment may include SNFs, hospitals, ALFs, member’s homes, or a designated location. This position requires licensed clinical staff with two years of current experience.
