Investing in Population Health: Groundbreaking Innovation from Covered California

Earlier this year, Covered California, the state’s marketplace, launched an innovative initiative that will reinvest millions of dollars collected from underperforming health plans back into its enrollees through programs designed to benefit their wellness.

Known as the Population Health Investments (PopHI) program, it uses funds that Covered California has recouped through its health-plan accountability program, the Quality Transformation Initiative, aimed at improving health outcomes and reducing disparities for enrollees. The three PopHIs launched in 2025 include the:

• Grocery Support Program, designed to help enrollees with chronic health conditions and financial challenges access nutritious food to improve food security and health outcomes
• Child Savings Account Program, which aims to improve well-child visits and childhood immunization rates for children under two while helping families invest in their child’s future
• Targeted investments in the Equity and Practice Transformation infrastructure, developed by the Department of Health Care Services, that aim to accelerate population-health management capabilities in primary care practices serving both Covered California and Medi-Cal enrollees

Join Manatt Health and Covered California for an interactive webinar about the launch of this groundbreaking program. We’ll discuss the:

• Overall goals and design of the three programs
