Bill > AB4

This bill would extend eligibility for full-scope Medi-Cal (California's Medicaid program) benefits to individuals of all ages, regardless of their immigration status, if they are otherwise eligible for those benefits. The bill would also require the California Department of Health Care Services to provide ongoing monthly updates to the legislature on the implementation of these provisions. Additionally, the bill would expand the requirements of the eligibility and enrollment plan to ensure continuity of care for individuals transitioning to Medi-Cal. The bill would also require the department to collaborate with counties and public hospitals to maximize federal financial participation and mitigate any financial losses related to the implementation of these requirements. The bill's provisions would be contingent on an appropriation by the Legislature.
