The California Dept. of Health Care Services has posted draft guidance on implementation of the recently-approved Section 1115 amendment for traditional health care practices for Medi-Cal enrollees who are eligible to receive covered services through the Drug Medi-Cal Organized Delivery System.
The draft guidance is fairly lengthy, and includes requirements for Tribal Health Programs operating under an ISDEAA agreement and Urban Indian Organizations that want to offer that benefit (there is an “opt-in” requirement described in the guidance); qualifications of practitioners of traditional health care services; and claiming and payment policies for traditional health care services.
