Statute text

(a)It is the intent of the Legislature that, to the extent that it does not jeopardize other federal funding and is permitted by federal law, the intergovernmental transfers described in this section provide support for the nonfederal share of risk-based payments to managed care health plans to enable those plans to compensate designated public hospitals in a sufficient amount to preserve and strengthen the availability and quality of services provided by those hospitals and their affiliated public providers. It is further the intent of the Legislature that transferring public entities elect to provide intergovernmental transfers in an amount that is at least equivalent to the amount of the nonfederal share that they would provide under fee-for-service, as adjusted for utilization.

(b)(1) In conjunction with the implementation of Section 14182, a public entity may elect to transfer public funds to the state to be used solely as the nonfederal share of Medi-Cal payments to managed care health plans for the provision of services to Medi-Cal beneficiaries.

(2)For purposes of this section, “public entity” means a designated public hospital as defined in subdivision (d) of Section 14166.1, the University of California, or a county or city and county or local hospital authority that is licensed to operate one or more of the designated public hospitals.
