Summary

The bill permits health‑care providers to disclose a Medi‑Cal beneficiary’s HIV test results to the beneficiary’s managed‑care plan and to state‑approved quality‑review organizations without obtaining written permission from the patient. It keeps the existing rule that such results cannot be shared with other health‑plan entities unless the patient authorizes it. The change is intended to help quality‑improvement and incentive programs for HIV care.
