Good nutrition is part of whole-person care. Your Care Manager connects you with medically tailored meals, food banks, CalFresh/EBT support, and nutrition programs, then follows up to make sure the help actually reached you.
Food insecurity and chronic illness are deeply connected. Your Care Manager listens to your situation and connects you with the right food resources — medically tailored meal programs designed for conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and kidney disease, plus food banks, community pantries, CalFresh/EBT enrollment support, and nutrition counseling referrals.
Because we use closed-loop referrals, we do not simply hand you a phone number and walk away. Your Care Manager follows up with you — and with the partner program — to confirm that the food support actually reached you and is meeting your needs.
Food referrals are available to Medi-Cal members enrolled in ECM who need help accessing nutrition and meal support.
Medi-Cal members in ECM who struggle to afford or access enough healthy food for themselves or their family.
Members managing diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, or other conditions that benefit from medically tailored nutrition.
Members who cannot easily get to a grocery store or food pantry and need delivery-based meal programs.
Share your food situation, dietary needs, and any health conditions with your Care Manager so we can match you with the right programs.
We connect you with trusted partners — medically tailored meal programs, food banks, CalFresh/EBT, or nutrition counseling.
Your Care Manager checks back to confirm the food support actually reached you and adjusts the plan if needed.
If you're a Medi-Cal member with Anthem Blue Cross or Kaiser Permanente, check your eligibility and get paired with a dedicated Care Manager.
