Network Adequacy Standards
On February 2, 2017, DHCS sought public comment on the proposed network adequacy standards. The proposal outlines the approach that DHCS has undertaken to develop the standards and describes monitoring activities for ongoing compliance. On July 19, 2017, DHCS finalized the network adequacy standards in consideration of the stakeholder feedback received.
The initial July 2017 standards have subsequently been amended as a result of Assembly Bill (AB) 205 (Chapter 738, Statutes of 2017), which codified and amended California’s network adequacy standards.
