What it does
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Current law requires the Department of Health Services to reimburse clinical consultations for students who are under 21 years of age under the Medical Assistance program until June 30, 2019. Clinical consultations are communications from a mental health professional or qualified treatment trainee to another individual to inform, inquire, and instruct on the symptoms, strategies for care and intervention, and treatment expectations for the student and to direct and coordinate clinical service components. This bill adds communications to a parent of the student as a reimbursable clinical consultation. The bill also eliminates the June 30, 2019, termination date on the clinical consultation reimbursement.
