AB 2486: Medi-Cal: Whole Child Model program.

The bill aims to amend the Medi-Cal program in California to provide better services to children and youth with specific medical conditions. It establishes a new advisory group, the California Children's Services (CCS) advisory group, which will be composed of representatives of CCS clients, former clients, caregivers, and other stakeholders. The advisory group will provide feedback on the implementation of the CCS program, including the CCS Classic program, and help develop monitoring processes and outcome measures. The department will be required to consult with the advisory group and consider their recommendations. The bill also extends the operation of the advisory group indefinitely, requiring the department to biennially deliver a summary report to the legislature on the department's progress and actions related to the CCS program.
