Existing law requires the State Department of Health Care Services to perform various health functions, including providing breast and cervical cancer screening and treatment for low-income individuals. Existing law defines "period of coverage" as beginning when an individual is made eligible for a covered condition and not to exceed 18 or 24 months, respectively, for a diagnosis of breast cancer or a diagnosis of cervical cancer. This bill would delete that definition and, instead, provide that the treatment services be provided for the duration of the period of treatment for an individual made eligible for treatment due to a diagnosis of breast cancer or cervical cancer, as long as the individual continues to meet all other eligibility requirements. The bill would make conforming changes to a provision relating to an individual who is diagnosed with a reoccurrence of breast cancer or cervical cancer. The bill would also make technical, nonsubstantive changes to related provisions.
