Bill overview
This bill updates California’s Medi-Cal program to standardize the process for authorizing subacute care services for both pediatric and adult patients. It requires providers to use specific forms – DHCS 6200 and DHCS 6200A – when requesting authorization, and prohibits managed care plans from establishing their own, stricter criteria for determining medical necessity. Furthermore, it prevents managed care plans from requiring additional authorization requests after a patient returns from an acute hospitalization.
