HPSM helps to ensure Medi-Cal members have the medication they need. The California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) covers Medi-Cal members’ medicines through the Medi-Cal Rx program. However, medicines given to patients by providers in an office or clinic are handled by HPSM. Some PADs need to be preapproved by HPSM. For more information, see your Member Handbook.
