Medi-Cal: Adverse Childhood Experiences trauma screenings: providers.

Summary

The bill adds community‑based organizations, local health jurisdictions that use community health workers, and doulas to the list of Medi‑Cal providers that can be reimbursed for Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) trauma screenings. Those providers must make clinical or other appropriate referrals based on screening results to receive payment. The Department of Health Care Services must seek federal approval, update its websites, and can implement the changes via guidance documents rather than new regulations.
