Summary
California Department of Public Health (CDPH) immunization guidance remains the standard for Health Net and Community Health Plan of Imperial Valley members under Assembly Bill 144 (2025). CDPH recommendations take precedence over CDC/ACIP guidance when they differ. All CDPH-recommended vaccines continue to be fully covered with no cost-sharing.
Action Required
Immediately: Ensure billing team follows CDPH immunization guidelines rather than CDC recommendations when differences exist. Continue using AAP immunization schedule for children and AAFP schedule for adults 19+. Verify all CDPH-recommended vaccines are billed with expectation of full coverage with no patient cost-sharing for Health Net and Community Health Plan of Imperial Valley members in California.
