California's AB 2756 requires public reporting on Medi-Cal vision care
The governor signed AB 2756 on September 18, 2026, directing DHCS to create public Medi-Cal vision performance measures. DHCS must set the list by January 1, 2028 and post it with calendar-year 2026 data by January 1, 2029.
The law sets no rate, does not mention health centers and requires no new data collection.
Key points
- Signed September 18, 2026 as Chapter 309.
- Calendar year 2026 — the year now in progress — is the first measured year, and that data is due to be posted publicly by January 1, 2029. Vision encounter and referral documentation recorded this year is what eventually gets graded.
- The statute creates a reporting framework only. It sets no rate and names no FQHC, so there is no PPS consequence to plan around.
