Medi-Cal. Existing law establishes the Medi-Cal program, which is administered by the State Department of Health Care Services and under which qualified low-income individuals receive health care services. The Medi-Cal program is, in part, governed and funded by federal Medicaid program provisions. Existing law sets forth a schedule of benefits under the Medi-Cal program. This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation to allow for acute care hospitals that accept Medi-Cal coverage to directly bill for inpatient detox services and Medically Assisted Treatment for substance abuse issues, as specified.
