• •A subcontract is a deal between a health plan and someone else to help with health services for Medi-Cal members.
• •This deal can be with doctors or hospitals to give medical care to people in the health plan.
• •It can also be with companies that help sell the health plan or do paperwork for it.
• •The deal must be about helping the health plan do its job for the government.

A health plan makes a deal with a local clinic to give check-ups to people in the plan.
