Summary

The bill would have the Department of Health Care Services issue clear guidance to Medi‑Cal managed‑care plans about covering pharmacist services and update its standard coverage guidelines. It also would require each plan to submit an annual report on those services, which the department would compile into a single report for legislative committees each March. The department could enforce compliance and impose sanctions if a plan repeatedly fails to follow the rules.
