Summary

The bill would make providers submit a standardized DHCS 6200 form for pediatric subacute care or DHCS 6200A for adult subacute care with every Medi‑Cal treatment authorization request. It also prevents Medi‑Cal managed‑care plans from using separate medical‑necessity standards or demanding a new authorization after a patient returns from a bed hold. The Department of Health Care Services could impose sanctions on plans that violate these rules.
