Code Sets
CenCal Health supports National Code Sets, mandated by HIPAA, to the limit that Medi-Cal only local codes are made available for use by CenCal Health's programs. As the State of California correlates its Medi-Cal only local codes to national codes, CenCal Health has implemented these changes and instructs billing providers to do the same. Please refer to Medi-Cal website, http://www.medi-cal.ca.gov, for updates.

Privacy
Please go to CenCal'sHIPAA Privacy Practices & Confidentiality statement for information on CenCal Health's implementation of the privacy rules.
