    Key Takeaways

    • Requires Medi-Cal's online provider directory to include searchable listings of skilled nursing facilities.
    • Enhances healthcare transparency by adding nursing facilities to the Medi-Cal managed care plan directory.
    • Integrates with existing state and federal provider directory requirements without new funding.

    Summary

    Senator Ochoa Bogh's proposal to expand California's Medi-Cal provider directory would add skilled nursing facilities as a searchable category on the Medi-Cal Managed Care Health Care Options website. The measure builds upon existing federal Medicaid requirements for states to maintain online physician directories by specifically incorporating skilled nursing facilities into California's provider search tools.

    The legislation directs the Department of Health Care Services to integrate skilled nursing facility listings alongside current provider information in the Medi-Cal managed care directory. This addition would be implemented in coordination with existing directory requirements under both state and federal regulations. The bill defines skilled nursing facilities according to Health and Safety Code standards and maintains current definitions for Medi-Cal managed care plans.

    While requiring no new appropriations, the measure would undergo fiscal committee review before proceeding to a majority vote. The Department of Health Care Services would incorporate these directory updates within its existing operations and technological infrastructure.
