What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, the Department of Health Services is required to promulgate rules that establish which medical supplies and equipment are covered by Medical Assistance and under what conditions they will be reimbursed. This bill prohibits DHS from requiring a prescription and prior authorization before reimbursing a provider for the repair of complex rehabilitation technology if the complex rehabilitation technology was previously prescribed and reimbursed under Medical Assistance, unless the complex rehabilitation technology is intended for use by an individual who is enrolled in a managed care organization. Under current law, “complex rehabilitation technology” is defined to mean items classified within Medicare as durable medical equipment that are individually configured for individuals to meet their specific and unique medical, physical, and functional needs and capacities for basic activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living identified as medically necessary. The Medical Assistance program is a joint federal and state program administered by DHS that provides health services to individuals who have limited financial resources.
