Medi-Cal: cost sharing and accessibility.

California AB2208 amends the Welfare and Institutions Code to revise Medi-Cal eligibility procedures, including streamlined application processes, standardized forms, and enhanced accessibility for limited-English-proficient individuals. It mandates annual redeterminations of Medi-Cal eligibility, with provisions for timely notice and response opportunities. The bill also introduces copayments for certain non-emergency services and outlines procedures for handling changes in beneficiary circumstances.
