Story

The California Department of Managed Health Care (DMHC) protects consumers’ health care rights and ensures a stable health care delivery system.

Created by consumer-sponsored legislation in 1999, the DMHC regulates the majority of health coverage in California including 95 percent of the commercial market and most Medi-Cal enrollees.

The DMHC is funded by assessments on the licensed plans it regulates, with no taxpayer contributions.
