Medi-Cal: diapers.

Summary

The bill would let Medi‑Cal pay for diapers for children older than three who have a diagnosed condition that causes incontinence, and for anyone under 21 when diapers are needed to treat a condition under federal EPSDT rules. Coverage would be limited to an appropriate amount based on age and diagnosis, and would only take effect after required federal approvals, funding, and a legislative appropriation.
