Initiative (CalAIM JI)
The County of Sacramento, Department of Health Services (DHS), Adult Correctional Health Program is
seeking a qualified agency(ies) to provide Enhanced Care Management (ECM) services under CalAIM JI. This

other reentry services and supports.
Sacramento County operates two adult correctional facilities with an average daily population of approximately
3,300 adults, and more than 34,000 individuals are booked into the County jail each year. On average, 2,400
patients are discharged monthly, highlighting the need for effective coordination and continuity of care. The
selected contractor(s) will play a vital role in supporting successful reentry and reducing health disparities by
ensuring seamless care transitions. Pre-release services are initiated at intake and may continue post-release to
promote stabilization and successful reintegration into the community, including development, implementation,
and oversight of individuals’ whole-person care plans that are designed to address both clinical and non-clinical
needs of justice-involved individuals.

1. Single agency responses only. No collaborations, partnerships, multi-agency or fiscal sponsorship
responses will be accepted.
2. Be located within and currently deliver services in Sacramento County.
3. Have policies and procedures for HIPAA compliance, patient confidentiality, and information sharing
with correctional facilities.
4. Must be a Medi-Cal enrolled provider or able to become enrolled prior to contract execution.
5. Must have the ability to contract with Sacramento County Medi-Cal Managed Care Plans (MCPs).
6. Must have one year of experience providing services (e.g., case management, pre-release, etc.) within
a county jail system.
7. Have at least three years of experience successfully providing health, behavioral health, and case
management or reentry services to high-need and justice-involved populations, including demonstrated
ability to link individuals to appropriate services such as health plans, primary care providers,
pharmacy services, mental health providers, and dental care.
8. Experience addressing health disparities, social determinants of health and barriers to receiving care
for justice-involved communities, including but not limited to linkage to transportation, housing, and
social support programs.
9. Have a mission that includes a focus on individualized and whole-person care, an understanding of
health concerns, and the ability to provide patients with necessary knowledge and information to
improve health outcomes of priority populations.
10. Demonstrated experience delivering behavioral health services, including mental health and substance
use treatment, with the ability to coordinate timely linkages to care through Sacramento County
Behavioral Health and community-based providers to justice-involved individuals.
