LOS ANGELES – L.A. Care Health Plan is pleased to announce it is partnering with the Los Angeles Network of Enhanced Services (LANES), the regional health information exchange (HIE) for Los Angeles County, to help enroll Medi-Cal and Cal MediConnect outpatient practices into the California Health Information Exchange Onboarding Program (Cal-HOP).
Cal-HOP offers state and federal funding to providers to access the LANES HIE.

LANES is a qualified Health Information Exchange Organization (QHIO) for the Cal-HOP grant.
“Together, we have the ability to elevate healthcare for all in Los Angeles County,” said Ali Modaressi, LANES CEO. “Our Health Information Exchange provides clinical data insights that help physician-led providers make informed decisions, close care gaps and raise the quality of care. We look forward to partnering with L.A. Care to build a connected ecosystem of healthcare across the region.”
