CalMHSA ran a script on 6/15/2026, which updated the flyout menu to direct CalMHSA RX properly. Anyone who previously had a Quicklink set for the RX module will be unable to reach CalMHSA RX and will need to set up a new Quicklink.  Instructions on how to create a new Quicklink to properly reach the CalMHSA RX module, can be found here​.


As of June 12, 2026, CalMHSA updated the display names of the SUD assessment-related procedure codes in SmartCare to better align with the DMC-ODS Service Table as shown below. This is a display name only change- rates, documentation requirements, authorized users and historical data are not affected.
