Bill overview
This bill modifies California law regarding the disclosure of HIV test results. It expands the ability of healthcare providers and Medi-Cal managed care plans to share these results with external quality review organizations and state health department staff, specifically for improving HIV care programs. The changes clarify when written authorization from the test subject is required, particularly for Medi-Cal beneficiaries, while maintaining restrictions on unauthorized disclosures to other healthcare plans.
