No licensed long-term health care facility participating as a provider under the Medi-Cal program shall discriminate against a Medi-Cal patient on the basis of the source of payment for the facility’s services that are required to be provided to individuals entitled to services under the Medi-Cal program. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit a facility from charging private-pay patients for services required to be provided to Medi-Cal patients or which are in addition to those required under the Medi-Cal program. This section applies to licensed long-term health care facilities, to the extent not prohibited
by federal law.
