Medi-Cal: private duty nursing.

California · 2025-2026 Regular Session · lower

Description

Existing law, the Medi-Cal Act, 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. Under existing law, early and periodic screening, diagnostic, and treatment (EPSDT) services, including private duty nursing services, are covered under Medi-Cal for an individual under 21 years of age in accordance with certain federal provisions. The Medi-Cal program is in part governed by, and funded pursuant to, federal Medicaid program provisions. This bill would require the department to measure and assess whether private duty nursing services provided as part of the EPSDT benefit are in compliance with federal Medicaid requirements, as specified. The bill would require the assessment to include a comparison of the hours of EPSDT private duty nursing services authorized by the Medi-Cal program to the hours actually provided to eligible beneficiary children and a determination of whether the reimbursement rates for those services are sufficient to ensure that all authorized hours are able to be provided. The bill would require the department to prepare and submit a report to the Legislature on the findings of the assessment by no later than March 1, 2027.
