Medi-Cal: medical homes.

Existing law provides for the Medi-Cal program, administered by the State Department of Health Care Services, under which health care services are provided to qualified low-income recipients. One of the methods by which these services are provided is pursuant to contracts with various types of managed care plans. This bill would require the department to develop a definition of "medical home," as specified. This bill would also require the department to establish a timetable for Medi-Cal managed care plans to provide beneficiaries with a medical home.
