Medi-Cal: Community-Based Adult Services. 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. The Medi-Cal program is, in part, governed and funded by federal Medicaid program provisions. Existing law requires the department to standardize applicable covered Medi-Cal benefits provided by Medi-Cal managed care plans under comprehensive risk contracts with the department on a statewide basis and across all models of Medi-Cal managed care, in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of the California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM) initiative. This bill, for purposes of the mutual agreement between a Medi-Cal managed care plan and a network provider, would require that the reimbursement be in an amount equal to or greater than the amount paid for the service in the Medi-Cal fee-for-service delivery system. Under the bill, no later than January 1, 2025, for payments commencing on July 1, 2019, a Medi-Cal managed care plan that has not reimbursed a network provider furnishing CBAS according to those provisions would be required to reimburse the network provider the difference between the amount required and the amount that has been paid. This bill would prohibit the changes made by the bill to the above-described reimbursement from being construed as requiring the department to retroactively recalculate the capitation rates for purposes of any reimbursement of the difference between the amount required and the amount that has been paid.
