- Blue Shield – Peter Long – community health advocates in population health – confusing model (for me)
- Circle back with Blue Shield about opportunity to reach patients in UC system
- 6,000 Blue Shield at UCLA, another 6,000 managed care
- Roots of Blue Shield were in network of private practice/individual physicians, do a lot of work with Medi-Cal
- Most UCs don’t have big Medi-Cal population, except Davis
- Blue Shield has a Medi-Cal plan
- Olivia: Davis not contracted for primary care through Blue Shield, only Healthnet
- We take Blue Shield for subspecialty care
- Olivia discouraged – Sacramento – Medi-Cal administered through four health plans
- The California Endowment – in touch with Judi Larsen, will connect with Steve Eldred
- Judi said she would be our point of contact
- California Wellness – LOI to go to Jeff Kim
- Rescheduling for June, JB to invite Naveen and Olivia
- Kathy Flores – Arambola introduction – state funding – no response – Olivia to try nudging Kathy?
- Olivia putting together bill around pathway programming, postbac program or two bills
- Might be good to write in something about this “prehealth” program
- If it’s in alignment?
- JB to resend email and Olivia to nudge her by Monday if she doesn’t reply
- AB 1306 and SB 395
- Stimulus funding? COVID 19 effort? Infrastructure – public health. $300 million for public health infrastructure
- JB spoke with kidney transplant (Chris Freise)
- Coaching opportunity for patients
- Olivia: many disparities with transplant (lost to follow up; not offered same opportunities as age-adjusted non-minority peers)
- Health advocate with racially/ethnically (linguistically?) congruent patient
- Ephraim Telamontes did his RWJ research on this
- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3275654/
- https://www.karger.com/Article/Abstract/484484
- Olivia talking with cancer center about filling care gaps
- Center grants – disparities funding built into grants
- Held accountable to showing movement and effort around disparities in cancer patients
- Specialized care but money for a purpose and no one knows how to spend it
- Naveen
- UCLA signed up with Anthem for a oncology medical home
- Olivia: similar (maybe not Anthem) at UCD
- NIH MARC and U-RISE – research only
- Next steps – Naveen to speak with Gloria; then loop back to Charles Alexander
