§ 11024. Commencing March 1, 2002, the State Department of Health Services shall, monthly,

(a) Commencing March 1, 2002, the State Department of Health Services shall, monthly, post on the Internet Web site maintained by the State Department of Health Services 10 tables on the number of persons enrolled in the Medi-Cal program. These tables shall include one table on the number of children enrolled in all categories of the Medi-Cal program, by ethnicity, gender, and age, to the extent that data is collected, for 12 months of data. The tables shall provide different breakdowns of the Medi-Cal population by the various aid code categories. Some of the tables shall differentiate between the family-based Medi-Cal programs where eligibility is conditioned upon the presence of a child or pregnant woman, and nonfamily-based Medi-Cal programs where eligibility is conditioned by the presence of aged, blind, or disabled persons. Some of the tables shall provide enrollment levels for the family-based programs differentiating between beneficiaries in cash-related Medi-Cal programs and beneficiaries in noncash-related Medi-Cal programs. Some of the tables shall also include 12 months of data. (b) The State Department of Health Services shall display on its Web site the information required by subdivision (a) by both statewide totals and county-by-county breakdowns, and shall show the percentage increase or decrease in each county by month and by year. (c) The information posted on the Web site maintained by the State Department of Health Services pursuant to this section shall be posted in a format that is simple, not technical, does not require downloading, and is likely to be easily understood by the general public.
