Summary

The bill establishes the California Health Access Fund, managed by the Department of Health Care Services. Money goes into the fund when the state saves money because fewer people enroll in Medi‑Cal because of new federal work and redetermination requirements. The fund can then be used, after legislative appropriation, to pay for health services for those who lose coverage and to reimburse providers.
