AB 543 (M. González, D-Los Angeles) Details

Passed the Assembly Health Committee on April 22. To be heard in the Assembly Appropriations Committee.

AB 543 would establish a presumptive eligibility program to provide immediate, full-scope Medi-Cal coverage for individuals experiencing homelessness. The bill would also allow Medi-Cal managed care plans that opt into the program to reimburse street medicine providers for delivering covered services in nontraditional settings, such as encampments or other places not typically used for health care.
