The Managed Care Plan (MCP) Medi-Cal Contract requires MCPs to build partnerships with Third Party Entities by executing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with each entity. The MOUS are intended to clarify roles and responsibilities among parties, support local engagement, facilitate care coordination and exchange data necessary to enable care coordination. The MOUs are also intended to improve transparency and accountability by setting forth certain existing requirements for each party as it relates to service or care delivery and coordination so that the parties are aware of each other’s obligations.
