California AB346 requires licensed health care professionals to certify the need for in-home supportive services.

California AB346 mandates that applicants or recipients of in-home supportive services must obtain a certification from a licensed health care professional. This certification must confirm the individual's inability to independently perform activities of daily living and the necessity of services to prevent out-of-home placement. The certification must be submitted within 45 days of reassessment, with possible extensions for good cause. The bill also outlines the development of a standard certification form and the notification of Medi-Cal managed care plans to assess recipients.
