What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
