LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
Existing law relating to health care practitioners requires a board, as defined, to report to the State Department of Health Care Services the name and license number of a person whose license has been revoked, suspended, surrendered, made inactive by the licensee, or placed in another category that prohibits the licensee from practicing the licensee’s profession, to prevent reimbursement by the state for Medi-Cal and Denti-Cal services provided after the cancellation of a provider’s professional license.
This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to that reporting provision.
