Medi-Cal: medically necessary services.

Existing law establishes the Medi-Cal program, which is administered by the State Department of Health Care Services and under which qualified low-income individuals receive medically necessary health care services, including Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT) for an individual under 21 years of age who is covered under the Medi-Cal program, subject to utilization controls, and consistent with federal requirements. The Medi-Cal program is, in part, governed and funded by federal Medicaid program provisions.
