Medi-Cal
Assembly member Mervyn Dymally's (D-Compton) legislation (AB 1701) was amended to require the Department of Health Care Services to implement a two-year pilot project to provide sub-acute care for children with complex ventilator needs who are Medi-Cal beneficiaries. The program aims to reduce Medi-Cal costs by providing services in a lower-cost setting (Bill text, 6/4). The Senate Health Committee is considering the measure (Bill status, 6/4).
