Medi-Cal
AB 1750 by the Assembly Health Committee was amended to extend from 2010 to 2011 the repeal date of a program that offers continuous skilled nursing care as a benefit under Medi-Cal (Bill Text, 6/26). The bill is before the Assembly Appropriations Committee (Bill Status, 6/26).
Legislation (SB 260) by Sen. Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento) was amended to require the Department of Health Care Services to seek federal funds to cover the cost of separate Medi-Cal reimbursements for multiple visits by a beneficiary to the same physician in one day (Bill Text, 6/26). The Assembly Appropriations Committee is considering the measure (Bill Status, 6/26).
