Existing law establishes the Medi-Cal program, which is administered by the State Department of Health Care Services, under which qualified low-income individuals receive health care services. The Medi-Cal program is, in part, governed by, and funded pursuant to, federal Medicaid program provisions. Existing law establishes a schedule of covered benefits under the Medi-Cal program. Existing law also generally requires pharmaceutical manufacturers to provide to the department a state rebate for certain drug products that have been added to the Medi-Cal list of contract drugs, that are approved for the treatment of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) , or an AIDS-related condition, or cancer, and that are reimbursed through the Medi-Cal outpatient fee-for-service drug program, as specified. This bill would, to the extent that federal financial participation is available and any necessary federal approvals have been obtained, add continuous glucose monitors and related supplies required for use with those monitors to the schedule of benefits under the Medi-Cal program for the treatment of diabetes mellitus when medically necessary, subject to utilization controls. The bill would also authorize the department to require the manufacturer of a continuous glucose monitor to enter into a rebate agreement with the department. The bill would require the department to cover continuous glucose monitors and related supplies in accordance with these provisions and would authorize the department to implement, interpret, or make specific these provisions by means of all-county letters or similar instructions, without taking any further regulatory action.
