Digest: Existing law establishes the Medi-Cal program, administered by the State Department of Health Care Services, under which basic health care services are provided to qualified low-income persons. The Adult Day Health Medi-Cal Law establishes adult day health care services as a Medi-Cal benefit for Medi-Cal beneficiaries who meet certain adult day health care eligibility criteria. Existing law provides that certain criteria shall only apply on the date the Director of Health Care Services executes a declaration, as specified. These criteria include requirements that beneficiaries have two or more functional impairments involving activities that include bathing, dressing, and self-feeding and, depending upon the type of beneficiary, the beneficiary either requires substantial human assistance or assistance, as defined, in performing those activities. This bill would, instead, uponthe date the director executes the aforementioned declaration, establish adult day health care services as a Medi-Cal benefit for Medi-Cal beneficiaries who meet certain criteria, including, requiring beneficiaries to have two or more functional impairments involving the above-described activities and require assistance, as defined, in performing those activities. »Less
