CA SB1361

Restores Medi-Cal coverage for one pair of eyeglasses every 2 years for individuals 21 years of age or older whose uncorrected visual acuity is equal to or poorer than 20/40

Coverage is contingent on obtaining necessary federal approvals and federal financial participation under the Medicaid program

Authorizes the Department of Health Care Services to implement the provision through all-county letters, provider bulletins, or similar instructions without requiring formal regulatory action

Overrides the existing exclusion of optometric and optician services as optional Medi-Cal benefits for eligible individuals meeting the vision acuity threshold
