Bill > AB1773

This bill makes a technical, nonsubstantive change to existing law regarding Medi-Cal, which is California's health care program for low-income individuals, funded in part by the federal Medicaid program. Specifically, it clarifies that qualifying inmates of public institutions are eligible for targeted Medi-Cal services for up to 90 days *before* their release from an institution, or for a different period if approved in the CalAIM Terms and Conditions, which are the specific requirements and goals for California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM), a state initiative to improve the program. These services are limited to those approved within the CalAIM Terms and Conditions, and the bill also requires an independent evaluation of the program's outcomes if federal approval is obtained.
