Bill	Medi-Cal: federally qualified health centers: rural health centers.	Existing law provides for the Medi-Cal program, which is administered by the State Department of Health Care Services, under which qualified low-income individuals receive health care services. The Medi-Cal program is, in part, governed and funded by federal Medicaid program provisions. Existing law provides that federally qualified health center (FQHC) services and rural health clinic (RHC) services, as defined, are covered benefits under the Medi-Cal program, to be reimbursed, to the extent that federal financial participation is obtained, to providers on a per-visit basis. "Visit" is defined as a face-to-face encounter between a patient of an FQHC or RHC and specified health care professionals. Existing law allows an FQHC or RHC to apply for an adjustment to its per-visit rate based on a change in the scope of services it provides.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20152016	AB 1863	California AB 1863 (20152016)	bill	Medi-Cal: federally qualified health centers: rural health centers.	enacted	Wood	6	23	8	2016-02-10	2016-09-25	openstates	ocd-bill/69be1cd4-ee2e-44c1-b554-0e7bcdb6027a	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB1863	2c28e14b3d2ba894558aca1aa478e6f56809bd9ae91fdbbcf150fa44a84ce86f	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
