Medi-Cal: Disease Management Waiver.

Existing law establishes the Medi-Cal program, administered by the State Department of Health Care Services, under which qualified low-income persons receive health care services. The Medi-Cal program is, in part, governed and funded by federal Medicaid Program provisions. Existing law requires the department to apply for a waiver of federal law to test the efficacy of providing a disease management benefit, as described, to specified beneficiaries under the Medi-Cal program. This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
