Summary

The bill creates a new online form that hospice agencies must submit to the Department of Health Care Services when a Medi‑Cal fee‑for‑service enrollee chooses hospice care, with a five‑day deadline and required accompanying paperwork. It also revises the Office of Problem Gambling’s mandate, replacing telephone counseling with tele‑health counseling and detailing prevention, treatment, and reporting requirements. The measures affect hospice providers, Medi‑Cal members, and the state’s gambling‑disorder prevention and treatment infrastructure.
