Since January 1, 2022, Medi-Cal members’ medication benefits have mostly been managed by the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) through their Medi-Cal Rx program. However, HPSM still covers PADs. These are medications that providers give to patients at an office or clinic. Some PADs need to be pre-approved by HPSM.
