Bill overview
This bill clarifies the requirements for in-home supportive services (IHSS) by specifying that a ‘licensed health care professional’ must have primary responsibility for diagnosing or treating impairments causing functional limitations to qualify for certifying an applicant’s need for services. It expands the definition of this professional to include physicians, physician assistants, and other healthcare providers, ensuring consistent certification standards across California. The bill also outlines procedures for obtaining and reviewing these certifications to help ensure individuals receive the support they need to remain in their homes.
