California Welfare and Institutions Code · 2026 edition · updated 2026-10-04 · California

The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:

(a) Adult day health care is a necessary component in achieving an integrated home- and community-based long-term care system consistent with the principles of the decision of the United States Supreme Court in Olmstead v. L.C. by Zimring (1999) 527 U.S. 581.

(b) The federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has directed the State of California to segregate certain skilled services from the all-inclusive per diem rate currently in use for adult day health care centers and to bill for those services using separate billing codes and reimbursement rates.

(c) The reimbursement methodology for adult day health care services that is established by the department should provide for fair and equitable reimbursement to adult day health care centers for services that are provided to each participant.

(Added by Stats. 2006, Ch. 691, Sec. 9. Effective January 1, 2007.)
