Health Net has established a Medi-Cal Community Advisory Committee (CAC) in each county in which Health Net participates as a Medi-Cal plan. The committee's purpose is to help Health Net understand the needs of its members in:

  • Obtaining health care
  • Health education
  • Language barriers and communications issues

The committee also assesses the health care and service needs of Medi-Cal members, with particular emphasis on cultural and language needs, and sets up a feedback mechanism so that Health Net considers recommendations.

The CAC is comprised of community providers, community based organizations, members, and Health Net staff. The committee meetings are facilitated by the Health Net Community Health Education Department and the Health Net Health Equity Department. The committee meets regularly and new members are welcome. Information obtained from the CAC assists in shaping Health Net's health education and cultural and linguistic programs and services to meet members' needs. Health Net views the CAC as an essential part of its efforts in understanding community needs.

Contact the Health Net Community Health Education Department in each county for more information.
