CalAIM & CBO Services

Billing Support for Community-Based Organizations (CBOs)

Community-based organizations delivering Enhanced Care Management (ECM) and Community Supports under CalAIM must manage authorizations, recertification cycles, and encounter or invoice submission to each contracted managed care plan. Quantix Health helps Southern California CBOs turn service delivery into clean, on-time submissions and reconciled payments across multiple MCP contracts.

  • CalAIM ECM and Community Supports authorization tracking
  • Encounter and invoice submission to managed care plans
  • Recertification cycle and eligibility monitoring
Why community-based organizations (CBOs) choose us

Specialty expertise, not generic billing

Authorization management

We track ECM and Community Supports authorizations by member and plan so services are approved before delivery and claims are not denied for missing referrals.

Recertification cycles

We monitor member recertification and reauthorization timelines so continued services stay covered and lapses do not create unbillable months.

Encounter and invoice reporting

We prepare encounter data and invoices in each plan's required format and file layout, reducing rejections from formatting and eligibility mismatches.

Multi-MCP contract handling

We map each managed care plan contract's rates, service codes, and submission channels so CBOs working with several plans bill each one correctly.

Common billing challenges

Where community-based organizations (CBOs) lose revenue

These are the specialty-specific leaks we watch for — and fix at the root.

  • Each managed care plan uses different encounter formats, invoice templates, and submission portals, multiplying the work of a single service month.
  • ECM and Community Supports authorizations expire, and services delivered after lapse become unbillable without tracked reauthorization.
  • Member eligibility and plan assignment change month to month, causing rejections when submissions go to the wrong MCP.
  • Recertification cycles are easy to miss, interrupting continued care and revenue for high-need members.
  • New CBOs often lack the claims and encounter infrastructure that CalAIM reporting requires, delaying first payments.
  • Reconciling capitated or per-member payments against delivered services is difficult without member-level tracking.
FAQ

Common questions

What CalAIM services can you help CBOs bill for?

We support billing and encounter reporting for Enhanced Care Management (ECM) and Community Supports services delivered under managed care plan contracts, including authorization tracking, recertifications, and invoice or encounter submission. Covered services depend on each plan's contract.

We contract with several managed care plans. Can you handle all of them?

Yes. We map each MCP's rates, service codes, submission format, and portal so submissions go to the right plan in the right layout. This reduces rejections tied to eligibility, plan assignment, and formatting differences.

We are new to CalAIM billing. Where do you start?

We start by aligning your contracts, authorizations, and service documentation with each plan's reporting requirements, then build a submission and recertification workflow. We advise operationally and recommend verifying current DHCS and plan guidance as rules evolve.
