California Association of Health Insuring Organizations

Emphasizing the CARE in Medi-Cal Managed Care

The California Association of Health Insuring Organizations (CAHIO) was formed in 1994 to promote and improve the common good and public welfare of Medicaid (Medi-Cal in California) beneficiaries, and beneficiaries to other publicly funded health care programs, enrolled in the member plans. This is accomplished through the ongoing administrative coordination and program development of the member plans which provide comprehensive quality health care through to their membership. Together the six member plans (defined in federal law as "Health Insuring Organizations," and in California state law as "County Organized Health Systems" manage the care of approximately 900,000 Medi-Cal recipients, and an additional several thousand members of other publicly funded health care programs (Healthy Families, AIM).
