Effective Medi-Cal Codes

The lined rate table below contains codes that are considered covered benefit for the Medi-Cal product line. This information is provided by the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) as information only for provider reference. While SFHP adopts most of the rate guidelines issues by DHCS, as a Managed Care Organization, SFHP may choose to deviate from these guidelines per SFHP company’s policies.
