WIC § 14105.281 Effective Apr 13, 2011Div. 9 · Part 3 · Ch. 7 · Art. 3

Statute text

(a)The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:

(1)That because the implementation of Section 14105.28 is expected to require several years and further rate changes may make the transition to an inpatient hospital reimbursement methodology based on diagnosis-related groups more difficult, and because of the need to take into account the amount of base payments when combined with supplemental payments made to inpatient hospitals, including payments provided as a result of the hospital fee set forth in Article 5.22 (commencing with Section 14167.31) and Article 5.225 (commencing with Section 14167.41), it is necessary to impose the rate freeze enacted in this section.

(2)(A) Upon implementation of Article 5.21 (commencing with Section 14167.1) and Article 5.22 (commencing with Section 14167.31), as added by Assembly Bill 1383 of the 2009–10 Regular Session, supplemental payments shall be made to hospitals that have contracts negotiated pursuant to the Selective Provider Contracting Program, provided that rates under these contracts are not reduced below the contract rates in effect on the effective date of Article 5.21 (commencing with Section 14167.1), as added by Assembly Bill 1383 of the 2009–10 Regular Session.
