CA AB1126

Requires the Department of Health Care Services to ensure that providers billing Medi-Cal managed care plans for enrollees with dual coverage do not face administrative requirements significantly greater than those for billing the fee-for-service system

Allows Medi-Cal fee-for-service providers to bill managed care plans for enrollees with other health care coverage (excluding Medicare) without being required to contract as in-network providers with the plan

Permits managed care plans to require letters of agreement for services needing prior authorization or services not covered by the enrollee's other insurance but covered under Medi-Cal

Directs the department to provide annual updates to legislative health committees from 2027 through 2030 on implementation effectiveness

Replaces the original bill content, which would have established a workgroup on functional, hormonal, integrative, and metabolic health under CalHHS
