| To the Members of the California State Assembly: I am returning Assembly Bill 1930 without my signature. This bill would require the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) to provide Medi-Cal's Comprehensive Perinatal Services Program (CPSP) benefit, which is currently available during the initial 60-day postpartum period, for one-year post-pregnancy. DHCS would be required to work with the California Department of Public Health and stakeholders to determine the number of comprehensive perinatal assessments and individualized care plans and additional visits that are at least proportional to those available on July 27, 2021, during pregnancy and 60 days postpartum period. In addition, this bill establishes new requirements related to services offered by comprehensive perinatal services workers. I support the author's efforts to improve maternal health outcomes and ensure Medi-Cal offers appropriate care for beneficiaries during and after their pregnancy. DHCS already provides full-scope coverage for all individuals for one year after pregnancy, which offers a range of services above and beyond the services provided by CPSP. However, this bill attempts to expand the services offered by comprehensive perinatal workers and make these services a Medi-Cal benefit apart from CPSP. This bill would result in millions of dollars in ongoing General Fund costs that are not accounted for in the budget. With our state facing lower-than-expected revenues over the first few months of this fiscal year, it is important to remain disciplined when it comes to spending, particularly spending that is ongoing. We must prioritize existing obligations and priorities, including education, health care, public safety and safety-net programs. The Legislature sent measures with potential costs of well over $20 billion in one-time spending commitments and more than $10 billion in ongoing commitments not accounted for in the state budget. Bills with significant fiscal impact, such as this measure, should be considered and accounted for as part of the annual budget process. For these reasons, I cannot sign this bill. Sincerely, Gavin Newsom |
