Health Net announced on Wednesday a $26 million investment to improve the collection of patient encounter data to better understand how vulnerable communities are accessing care statewide.
The investment is part of Health Net’s $50 million commitment to its Encounter Data Improvement Program (EDIP). In partnership with the Department of Managed Health Care, the program aims to improve the collection of accurate and timely encounter data while reducing the barriers to what Health Net describes as a “historically fragmented and inconsistent” data collection system. EDIP is initially focusing on Medi-Cal providers.
California Attorney General Xavier Becerra issued a warning to consumers last week about some health care providers reportedly charging a COVID-19 fee that many people are not obligated to pay.
