Statute text

(a)In order to ensure that the proceeds of the quality assurance fee, the matching amount provided by the federal government, and any interest earned on those proceeds are used to supplement existing funding for hospital services provided to Medi-Cal patients and not supplant such funding, the aggregate fee-for-service payments under the Medi-Cal program to hospitals for hospital services furnished on and after January 1, 2014, for each fiscal year or portion thereof that is in a program period shall not be less than the aggregate amounts that would have been paid for those services under the rates and payment methodologies in effect on December 31, 2013. This provision shall be applied separately for each category of hospital services.

(b)For purposes of this section, all of the following definitions shall apply:

(1)“Aggregate amounts” means payments that would have been made on a fee-for-service basis to a hospital under Medi-Cal where the nonfederal share of the payments would have been appropriated from state general funds with the exception of disproportionate share replacement payments made under Section 14166.11. Aggregate amounts do not include payments made pursuant to Article 5.228 (commencing with Section 14169.1).
