AB 220
AB 220 expands Medi-Cal coverage for subacute care services to increase access to post-acute rehabilitation and skilled nursing care for low-income Californians.
AB 220 expands Medi-Cal coverage for subacute care services, which are short-term medical and rehabilitation services provided in specialized facilities for patients transitioning from acute hospital care. The bill modifies eligibility requirements and potentially broadens the scope of services covered under California's Medicaid program for this category of care.
Subacute care fills a critical gap between hospital discharge and home recovery, reducing hospital readmissions and improving patient outcomes. Expanding Medi-Cal coverage could increase access for low-income Californians who need post-acute rehabilitation, physical therapy, or skilled nursing care but lack resources to pay for these services.
