Medi-Cal: complex rehabilitation technology: wheelchairs.

Summary

The bill tells the Department of Health Care Services that repairs to a complex rehabilitation technology (CRT) power wheelchair costing $1,250 or less cannot need prior authorization. It also removes the need for a new prescription or medical‑necessity paperwork when the wheelchair has already been approved, while requiring suppliers to keep detailed repair records for audit.
