Bill > SB1280

This bill makes technical, nonsubstantive changes to existing law, specifically the Knox-Keene Health Care Service Plan Act of 1975, which governs health care service plans in California and is overseen by the Department of Managed Health Care. The amendments clarify language within Section 1367 of the Health and Safety Code, which outlines the requirements for these plans. These changes include minor wording adjustments to ensure clarity regarding facility licensing, personnel certification, continuity of care, accessibility of services (including telehealth), and contract provisions for dispute resolution between plans and providers. The bill also refines language related to reporting requirements for dispute resolution mechanisms and clarifies that the director's enforcement actions do not establish rates charged to subscribers, and that a plan's obligation to comply with the chapter cannot be waived when services are delegated to other entities.
