LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
Existing law provides for the Medi-Cal program, which is administered by the State Department of Health Care Services, under which qualified low-income individuals receive health care services. Existing law provides that health care granted under the Medi-Cal program is subject to laws amending, repealing, or supplementing provisions affecting the Medi-Cal program, and subject to the rules and regulations of the department. Existing law provides that an individual receiving health care from the Medi-Cal program shall not have a claim for compensation or otherwise because his or her service is affected by those changes.
This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to that provision.
