Medi-Cal., the official text

An act to amend Section 14002 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, relating to Medi-Cal.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

Existing law establishes the Medi-Cal program, which is administered by the State Department of Health Care Services and under which qualified low-income individuals receive health care services. Pursuant to existing law, 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 does not have a claim for compensation or otherwise because their service is affected by those changes.
This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to that provision.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.
Section 14002 of the Welfare and Institutions Code is amended to read:
14002.
Health care granted under this chapter is subject to a later enacted law amending, repealing, or supplementing in whole or in part the provisions of this chapter, and subject to the rules and regulations of the department. A recipient of health care under this chapter shall not have a claim for compensation or otherwise because the service is affected by the amending, repealing, or supplemental act, by a rule or regulation, or by an addition, amendment, or repeal of the rules or regulations.
