Summary

Official abstract published by the California legislature· summary

Existing law establishes the Medi-Cal program, which is administered by the State Department of Health Care Services and under which qualified low-income individuals receive health care services through various delivery systems, including fee-for-service and managed care. The Medi-Cal program is, in part, governed by, and funded pursuant to, federal Medicaid program provisions. Existing law establishes the California Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE program) to provide community-based, risk-based, and capitated long-term care services as optional services for older individuals under the state's Medi-Cal State Plan and under contracts entered into between the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the department, and PACE organizations. Existing law requires the department to pay capitation rates to health plans participating in the Medi-Cal managed care program using actuarial methods. Existing law requires the department to develop and pay capitation rates to entities contracted pursuant to the PACE program, using actuarial methods consistent with those provisions, with specified exceptions. Existing law requires the department to consult with those contracted entities in developing a rate methodology. This bill would require the department to notify the contracting PACE organization of the proposed rates at least 60 days prior to submission to the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for approval. The bill would authorize the department to define a reasonable date by which the PACE organization must submit written questions or feedback concerning the proposed rates. The bill would require the department to respond in writing to those questions or feedback by no later than 30 days prior to submitting the rates to CMS.
