Clearway helps community organizations turn CalAIM, Medi-Cal managed care, and shifting behavioral health funding into services that bill, staff that know the rules, and revenue that lasts — from the APL on the page to the claim that gets paid.
Clearway is a California consulting practice that takes community organizations from Medicaid policy on the page to a claim that actually pays — and keeps them ready as the rules change.
We track APLs, BHINs, rate schedules, and funding transitions like MHSA → BHSA — and tell you in plain English what each one changes for you.
Readiness assessments, Year-1 pro formas at verified DHCS rates, and opportunity maps — so the go / no-go call is made on numbers, not vibes.
Enrollment, plan contracts, policies & procedures, staffing, and billing workflows — through your first paid claim, not just a memo.
Retainer advisory, free guides, and a monthly policy read — when California moves, you get the change order, not a surprise.
Most consultancies stop at the memo. Clearway works the whole arc.
Clearway was built by a practitioner, not a slide deck. We've done this work from inside California health systems and alongside community providers — the PAVE enrollments, the plan contracts, the claims that came back denied and the ones that finally paid. The toolkit exists because we kept rebuilding the same spreadsheets for every organization; the consulting exists because reading about the work is not the same as doing it.
We're independent, small by design, and built for the tier the big consultancies don't reach — organizations that deliver services, not organizations that commission studies.
The arc is the same everywhere. These are the organizations we work it with every week.
Moving from grants and county contracts toward sustainable Medi-Cal revenue — behavioral health, housing and the Community Supports set, care management — without losing the mission or displacing funded work.
Adding benefit lines like ECM, Community Supports, and street medicine on top of existing operations — with the billing mechanics worked out before the first hire.
Scoping new benefits, standing up provider networks, navigating the MHSA → BHSA transition, or sponsoring readiness cohorts for contracted CBO partners.
Scoping benefits with the right rate lens from the start — AIR and Tribal FQHC structures are flagged wherever they differ from the DHCS fee schedule.
Twenty minutes of honest answers about your organization. The tool explains every term as you go, and every output is generated from your answers and current DHCS-published rates.
Medi-Cal plan benefits, Community Supports, and beyond-Medi-Cal lanes — or let the screener suggest where you fit.
Workforce, enrollment, billing, operations. It meets you where you are — including if billing is brand new to you.
Scored, sequenced, and exportable — built to put in front of your board.
PATH technical assistance is sunsetting, CITED funding ends December 31, 2026, and MHSA dollars are transitioning to BHSA. Organizations that know their readiness now can plan the transition instead of reacting to it.
Coming soon: the County BHSA Navigator — every county's three-year BHSA Integrated Plan, mapped into a plain-language guide to what it funds and what it asks of providers. San Francisco is first. Want your county early? Tell us.
A monthly read on Medi-Cal and behavioral health policy for the people running community programs — what changed, who it affects, and what to do about it. No jargon, no filler.
