Existing law establishes and sets forth the duties of the State Department of Health Care Services, the State Department of Public Health, and the Board of Administration of the Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) , relating to, among other duties, the administration of the Medi-Cal program, the administration of the California Diabetes Program, and the administration of the Public Employees' Medical and Hospital Care Act, respectively. This bill would require those agencies to each submit a report to the Legislature, no later than July 1, 2015, that includes specified information, including the diabetes-related programs administered by each agency and the diabetes-related contractual or statutory requirements placed on a health care service plan contract or a health insurance policy in the Medi-Cal program or on a health care benefit plan or contract entered into with the Board of Administration of PERS.
