Bill overview
This bill changes how Medi-Cal handles repairs for power wheelchairs. It prohibits the department from requiring prior authorization for repairs costing less than $1,250, simplifying the repair process for patients. It also clarifies record-keeping requirements for suppliers, including detailed documentation of repairs and making this information available for postpayment audits. The goal is to reduce administrative burdens and ensure timely access to necessary wheelchair repairs.
