FOR EMPLOYERS
Turn existing staff into a reimbursable revenue stream
Pacific Empire College partners with health employers to certify their medical assistants and office staff as Community Health Workers, aligning their existing workload to tasks that are now reimbursable to Medi-Cal.
Your staff are already doing the work.
Medical assistants, care coordinators, and front office staff regularly support patients with resource navigation, education, follow-ups, and care coordination.
These activities directly influence patient outcomes, yet in most clinics, they are absorbed as non-billable administrative time.
Medi-Cal is willing to pay.
Medi-Cal now reimburses for many of these services when delivered by staff who complete training to receive the Community Health Worker certification.
By certifying existing team members, clinics can convert a portion of their current workload into reimbursable units without hiring additional staff or changing their care model.
A reimbursement model where all parties win.
When patients receive 1:1 attention that supports their care, Medi-Cal experiences long-term cost reductions that can be passed on indirectly to you. Through reimbursement to incentivize these proactive activities, your clinic can benefit financially, as well as in many other ways.
