LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

AB 85, as amended, Committee on Budget. begin delete Budget Act of 2013. end delete begin insert Health and human services. end insert

begin insert

(1) Existing federal law provides for allocation of federal funds through the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant program to eligible states, with California’s version of this program being known as the California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) program. Under the CalWORKs program, each county provides cash assistance and other benefits to qualified low-income families and individuals who meet specified eligibility criteria, including participating in specified welfare-to-work activities.

end insert begin insert

This bill would increase aid payments by 5% as of March 1, 2014, and would specify a process by which additional grant increases could be made depending on projected revenue and costs.

end insert begin insert

(2) Existing law establishes the Local Revenue Fund, a continuously appropriated fund, that allocates Vehicle License Fund moneys and sales tax moneys. Existing law creates various accounts and subaccounts within that fund, including the Health Subaccount and the Social Services Subaccount, each of which get funding from the Local Revenue Fund.

end insert begin insert

This bill would make an appropriation by reallocating funds in the 2012-13 fiscal year and subsequent fiscal years to change the relative percentages of funds from those 2 sources that are allocated to the Health Subaccount and the Social Services Subaccount.

end insert begin insert

(3) Existing law provides for the establishment of the Sales Tax Growth Account in the continuously appropriated Local Revenue Fund for the allocation of sales and use tax growth revenues to local government.

end insert begin insert

This bill would delete specified subaccounts in the Sales Tax Growth Account and would add a Family Support Subaccount and a Child Poverty and Family Supplemental Support Subaccount to the Sales Tax Account. The bill would provide funding for the Child Poverty and Family Supplemental Support Subaccount from the Sales Tax Growth Account in the 2013-14 fiscal year and from sales tax in later fiscal years. The bill would require the transfer of funds from the Child Poverty and Family Services Supplemental Support Subaccount to the counties for use to support the CalWORKs program, as specified.

end insert begin insert

This bill would establish funding for the Family Support Subaccount from the Health Subaccount. The bill would require the transfer of funds from the Family Services Support Subaccount to the counties for use to support the CalWORKs program, as specified.

end insert begin insert

Under existing law, cities and counties that receive funds from the Local Revenue Fund are required to establish and maintain a local health and welfare trust fund comprised of specified accounts.

end insert begin insert

This bill would also require counties to establish a family support account in their local health and welfare trust accounts. By requiring additional duties from the counties, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

end insert begin insert

(4) Existing law requires counties, through a choice of methodologies, including County Medical Services Programs, nonpublic hospitals, and public hospitals, to provide specified health services eligible county residents who are indigent. Funding for this program, under existing law, has come from the Health Subaccount.

end insert begin insert

This bill would allow counties to receive funding from the Health Subaccount by either proving actual costs or by electing to receive 60% of the funds that would otherwise have been allocated to them, and would establish a default contribution for counties that fail to make a choice or to inform the Director of Health Care Services by December 4, 2013. The bill would place the difference between prior fiscal year contributions to counties from the Health Subaccount and the new contributions to counties in the Family Support Subaccount, to be used by counties for CalWORKs, as specified.

end insert begin insert

This bill would establish processes by which the counties prove actual costs to the Department of Health Care Services, as specified.

end insert begin insert

(5) Existing law provides for the Medi-Cal program, which is administered by the State Department of Health Care Services, 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. Under existing law, eligibility for the Medi-Cal program is expanding.

end insert begin insert

This bill would require specified percentages of newly eligible beneficiaries to be assigned to public hospital health systems in an eligible county, if applicable, until the county public hospital health system meets its enrollment target, as defined. The bill would also require, subject to specified criteria, Medi-Cal managed care plans serving newly eligible beneficiaries to pay county public hospital health systems for services provided to newly eligible beneficiaries in amounts that are no less than the cost of providing those services, as specified.

end insert begin insert

(6) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

end insert begin insert

This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions.

end insert begin insert

(7) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as a bill providing for appropriations related to the Budget Bill.

end insert begin delete

This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to enact statutory changes relating to the Budget Act of 2013.

begin insert SECTION 1. end insert   

Section 11450.025 is added to the Welfare and
Institutions Code, to read:

begin insert 11450.025. end insert   

(a) Notwithstanding any other law, effective on
March 1, 2014, the maximum aid payments in effect on July 1,
2012, as specified in subdivision (b) of Section 11450.02, shall be
increased by 5 percent.

(b) Commencing in 2014 and annually thereafter, on or before
January 10 and on or before May 14, the Director of Finance shall
do all of the following:

(1) Estimate the amount of growth revenues pursuant to
subdivision (f) of Section 17606.10 that will be deposited in the
Child Poverty and Family Supplemental Support Subaccount of
the Local Revenue Fund for the current fiscal year and the
following fiscal year and the amounts in the subaccount carried
over from prior fiscal years.

(2) For the current fiscal year and the following fiscal year,
determine the total cost of providing the increase described in
subdivision (a), as well as any other increase in the maximum aid
payments subsequently provided only under this section, after
adjusting for updated projections of CalWORKs costs associated
with caseload changes, as reflected in the local assistance
subvention estimates prepared by the State Department of Social
Services and released with the annual Governor’s Budget and
subsequent May Revision update.

(3) If the amount estimated in paragraph (1) plus the amount
projected to be deposited for the current fiscal year into the Child
Poverty and Family Supplemental Support Subaccount pursuant
to subparagraph (3) of subdivision (e) of Section 17600.15 is
greater than the amount determined in paragraph (2), the
difference shall be used to calculate the percentage increase to
the CalWORKs maximum aid payment standards that could be
fully funded on an ongoing basis beginning the following fiscal
year.

(4) If the amount estimated in paragraph (1) plus the amount
projected to be deposited for the current fiscal year into the Child
Poverty and Family Supplemental Support Subaccount pursuant
to subparagraph (3) of subdivision (e) of Section 17600.15 is equal
to or less than the amount determined in paragraph (2), no
additional increase to the CalWORKs maximum aid payment
standards shall be provided in the following fiscal year in
accordance with this section.

(5) (A) Commencing with the 2014-15 fiscal year and for all
fiscal years thereafter, if changes to the estimated amounts
determined in paragraphs (1) or (2), or both, as of the May
Revision, are enacted as part of the final budget, the Director of
Finance shall repeat, using the same methodology used in the May
Revision, the calculations described in paragraphs (3) and (4)
using the revenue projections and grant costs assumed in the
enacted budget.

(B) If a calculation is required pursuant to subparagraph (A),
the Department of Finance shall report the result of this calculation
to the appropriate policy and fiscal committees of the Legislature
upon enactment of the Budget Act.

(c) An increase in maximum aid payments calculated pursuant
to paragraph (3) of subdivision (b), or pursuant to paragraph (5)
of subdivision (b) if applicable, shall become effective on October
1 of the following fiscal year.

(d) (1) An increase in maximum aid payments provided in
accordance with this section shall be funded with growth revenues
from the Child Poverty and Family Supplemental Support
Subaccount in accordance with paragraph (3) of subdivision (e)
of Section 17600.15 and subdivision (f) of Section 17606.10, to
the extent funds are available in that subaccount.

(2) If funds received by the Child Poverty and Family
Supplemental Support Subaccount in a particular fiscal year are
insufficient to fully fund any increases to maximum aid payments
made pursuant to this section, the remaining cost for that fiscal
year will be addressed through existing provisional authority
included in the annual Budget Act. Additional grant increases
shall not be provided until and unless the ongoing cumulative costs
of all prior grant increases provided pursuant this section are fully
funded by the Child Poverty and Family Supplemental Support
Subaccount.

(e) Notwithstanding Section 15200, counties shall not be
required to contribute a share of cost to cover the costs of increases
to maximum aid payments made pursuant to this section.

Article begin insert 6.6. end insert   Medicaid Expansion Under The Federal Affordable
Care Act

 

begin insert 14199.1. end insert   

(a) The Legislature finds and declares the following:

(1) Beginning January 1, 2014, many low-income individuals
will be eligible for Medi-Cal coverage pursuant to federal law, as
part of health care reform.

(2) In implementing this expansion of Medi-Cal coverage, it is
critical to maintain the role of county public hospital health systems
that have traditionally served Medi-Cal and uninsured
beneficiaries to ensure adequate access to care is available for
the new Medi-Cal members, and to preserve the policy goal to
support and strengthen traditional safety net providers who treat
a high volume of uninsured and Medi-Cal patients.

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

(1) “County public hospital health system” shall have the
meaning provided in subdivision (f) of Section 17612.2.

(2) “Default members” means newly eligible beneficiaries
enrolled in each Medi-Cal managed care plan who do not
affirmatively select a primary care provider as part of the
enrollment process.

(3) “Enrollment target” means the number of newly eligible
beneficiaries assigned to primary care providers within a county
public hospital health system, not to exceed the number of
unduplicated Low Income Health Program and uninsured patient
count in the county public hospital health system. The unduplicated
patient count shall be certified by the county public hospital health
system and provided to the department, along with its proposed
enrollment target, by November 30, 2013. The county public
hospital health system may notify the department of a proposed
reduction to its enrollment target based on its capacity to accept
new patients. A standardized protocol for determining the target
shall be developed by the department in consultation with the
public hospital health system counties.

(4) “Low Income Health Program” shall mean the LIHP as
defined in subdivision (c) of Section 15909.1.

(5) “Medi-Cal managed care plan” means an organization or
entity that enters into a contract with the department pursuant to
Article 2.7 (commencing with Section 14087.3), Article 2.8
(commencing with Section 14087.5), Article 2.81 (commencing
with Section 14087.96), Article 2.91 (commencing with Section
14089), or Chapter 8 (commencing with Section 14200).

(6) “Newly eligible beneficiaries” shall have the meaning
provided in subdivision (s) of Section 17612.2.

(7) “Primary care provider” means a primary care physician
or nonphysician medical practitioner, medical group, clinic, or a
medical home.

(8) “Public hospital health system county” shall have the
meaning provided in subdivision (u) of Section 17612.2.

(c) Subject to subdivision (d), default members who reside in a
public hospital health system county shall be assigned by each
Medi-Cal managed care plan in the county to a primary care
provider in accordance with the following:

(1) Throughout the three-year period ending on December 31,
2016, at least seventy-five percent of default members shall be
assigned by each Medi-Cal managed care plan to primary care
providers within the county public hospital health system until the
county public hospital health system meets its enrollment target.

(2) Following the expiration of the three-year period set forth
in paragraph (1), at least 50 percent of default members shall be
assigned by each Medi-Cal managed care plan to primary care
providers within the county public hospital health system until the
county public hospital health system meets its applicable
enrollment target.

(3) Paragraphs (1) and (2) shall not apply with respect to a
county public hospital health system during any time period in
which the county public hospital health system meets or exceeds
its applicable target. For time periods during which paragraphs
(1) and (2) do not apply, default members shall be assigned to
primary care providers in the same manner as other Medi-Cal
members of the Medi-Cal managed care plan who do not
affirmatively select primary care providers. Medi-Cal managed
care plans shall not modify the assignment procedures due to the
default assignment requirements of this section with respect to
primary care providers within the county public hospital health
system.

(4) In implementing the assignment process set forth in
paragraphs (1) and (2), to the extent legally permissible and
consistent with federal and state privacy and patient confidentiality
laws, each Medi-Cal managed care plan shall first assign to a
primary care provider within the county public hospital health
system those default members who have accessed care within the
county public hospital health system two or more times within the
past 12 months. The department and the county public hospital
health systems shall work together to share patient information in
order to provide the Medi-Cal managed care plans with data
demonstrating which default members have accessed the county
public hospital health system providers prior to assignment to a
primary care provider.

(5) If at any time a county public hospital health system notifies
a contracted Medi-Cal managed care plan that it has reached its
maximum capacity for the assignment of default members, the
requirements set forth in paragraphs (1) and (2) shall not apply
to the Medi-Cal managed care plan so notified. Once the county
public hospital health system notifies a Medi-Cal managed care
plan that it has capacity to accept assignment of default members,
the requirements set forth in paragraphs (1) and (2) shall apply
effective on the first day of the month following that notice.

(6) A Medi-Cal managed care plan shall not assign default
members to a primary care provider within the county public
hospital health system if that primary care provider has notified
the Medi-Cal managed care plan that it does not have capacity to
accept new patients.

(d) The default process described in this section shall not apply
to Low Income Health Program enrollees subject to Section
14005.60.

(e) Nothing set forth in this section shall alter, reduce, or modify
in any manner the way in which Medi-Cal managed care plans
assign other Medi-Cal members to the county public hospital health
systems.

(f) (1) The department shall modify its contracts with the
Medi-Cal managed care plans in public hospital health system
counties to include the assignment requirements set forth in this
section.

(2) Each Medi-Cal managed care plan shall demonstrate and
certify that it has contracts or other arrangements in place with
county public hospital health systems that provide for implementing
the requirements of this section. To the extent a Medi-Cal managed
care plan is not compliant with any of the requirements of this
section, the department shall reduce by 25 percent the default
assignment into the Medi-Cal managed care plan with respect to
all Medi-Cal beneficiaries, as long as the other Medi-Cal managed
care plan or plans in that county have the capacity to receive the
additional default membership.

(g) Nothing in this section shall modify the ability of newly
eligible beneficiaries to select or change their primary care
providers.

(h) The department shall seek any necessary federal approvals
to implement the provisions of this section.

begin insert 14199.2. end insert   

(a) Subject to subdivision (e), Medi-Cal managed
care plans serving newly eligible beneficiaries, as defined in
subdivision (s) of Section 17612.2, shall pay county public hospital
health systems, as defined in subdivision (f) of Section 17612.2,
for services provided to newly eligible beneficiaries in amounts
that are no less than the cost of providing those services, including
the cost of network and out-of-network services that are charged
to or paid for by county public hospital health systems. For
purposes of this requirement, the cost of providing services shall
mean the amounts, including the federal and nonfederal share of
all allowable costs, determined in a manner consistent with the
cost claiming protocols developed for the federal Medicaid
demonstration project authorized under Section 1115 of the Social
Security Act entitled the “Bridge to Health Care Reform” (waiver
number 11-W-00193/9), including protocols pending federal
approval, and under Section 14166.8.

(b) Consistent with federal law, the capitation rates paid to
Medi-Cal managed care plans for newly eligible beneficiaries
shall be determined to reflect the obligations imposed by
subdivision (a).

(c) (1) Prior to the execution of a change order or contract
amendment between the department and a Medi-Cal managed
care plan providing for coverage of newly eligible beneficiaries,
the Medi-Cal managed care plan shall demonstrate and certify
that it has contracts or other arrangements in place with county
public hospital health systems that provide for payments for
services meeting the requirements of subdivision (a).

(2) Each year, each Medi-Cal managed care plan shall provide
to the department an accounting of the payments made to
demonstrate compliance with subdivision (a). To the extent a
Medi-Cal managed care plan is not compliant with any of the
requirements of this section, the department shall reduce the default
assignment into the Medi-Cal managed care plan with respect to
all Medi-Cal beneficiaries by 25 percent, as long as the other
Medi-Cal managed care plan or plans in the county have the
capacity to receive the additional default membership.

(d) A Medi-Cal managed care plan shall not impose a fee or
retention amount, or reduce other payments to a county public
hospital health system, that would result in a direct or indirect
reduction to the amounts required to be paid under subdivision
(a).

(e) (1) If a nonfederal share is necessary with respect to the
capitation rates described in subdivision (b), a county public
hospital health system or affiliated governmental entity shall have
the right to voluntarily provide intergovernmental transfers for
the nonfederal share of expenditures for the capitation rates
described in subdivision (b) with respect to the requirements in
subdivision (a). Only if the county public hospital health system
or affiliated governmental entity so chooses, the requirements in
this section shall apply. Notwithstanding any other law, the state
shall not assess the fee described in subdivision (d) of Section
14301.4, or any other similar fee. Nothing in this section shall be
construed to require a county public hospital health system to
provide the nonfederal share for expenditures for purposes other
than those described in subdivision (a), or for expenditures that
are otherwise for Medi-Cal managed care beneficiaries who do
not receive services in the county public hospital health system.

(2) Within 12 months following the end of each fiscal year, a
county public hospital system shall submit data to the department
demonstrating the payments received from Medi-Cal managed
care plans as required under subdivision (a). If the amount of the
applicable intergovernmental transfer provided by a county public
hospital system does not equal the nonfederal share of those
payments, the county hospital system and the department shall
adjust the amount of the intergovernmental transfer accordingly.

(a) (1) To the extent federal financial participation
is not jeopardized and consistent with federal law, and subject to
the conditions set forth in subdivision (b), the department shall
pay Medi-Cal managed care plans rate range increases, as defined
by paragraph (4) of subdivision (b) of Section 14301.4, at a
minimum level of 75 percent of the rate range available with
respect to all enrollees who are newly eligible beneficiaries for
purposes of this section. If a nonfederal share is necessary to fund
the rate range increases, a county public hospital health system
as defined in subdivision (f) of Section 17612.2 or affiliated
governmental entity may voluntarily provide intergovernmental
transfers for the nonfederal share.

(2) The increased payments to Medi-Cal managed care plans
that would be paid consistent with actuarial certification and
enrollment in the absence of this section, including, but not limited
to, payments described in Section 14182.15, shall not be reduced
as a consequence of payment under this section.

(b) Payments to Medi-Cal managed care plans pursuant to
subdivision (a) are conditioned on all of the following:

(1) The Medi-Cal managed care plan shall pay all of the rate
range increases provided under this section as additional payments
to county public hospital health systems for providing and making
available services to Medi-Cal enrollees of the plan.

(2) The Medi-Cal managed care plan shall demonstrate that it
has a contract or other arrangement in place with county public
hospital health systems to provide additional payments to county
public hospital health systems for services rendered to Medi-Cal
beneficiaries that meet the requirements of paragraph (1). The
existence of those agreements or arrangements shall be reported
to the department by the county public hospital health system.

(3) Additional payments described in paragraph (1) shall not
supplant amounts that would otherwise be payable by Medi-Cal
managed care plans to county public hospital health systems. A
Medi-Cal managed care plan shall not impose a fee or retention
amount, or reduce other payments to a county public hospital
health system, that would result in a direct or indirect reduction
to these payments.

(4) The county public hospital health system or affiliated
governmental entity voluntarily provides an intergovernmental
transfer of public funds to the state for use as the nonfederal share,
if any, of the increased capitation rates. Notwithstanding any other
provision of law, the department shall not assess the fee described
in subdivision (d) of Section 14301.4, or any other similar fee.

(c) To the extent a Medi-Cal managed care plan is not compliant
with any of the requirements imposed upon it pursuant to this
section, the department shall reduce by 25 percent the default
assignment into the Medi-Cal managed care plan with respect to
all Medi-Cal beneficiaries, as long as the other Medi-Cal managed
care plan or plans in that county have the capacity to receive the
additional default membership.

begin insert 17612.2. end insert   

For purposes of this article, the following definitions
shall apply:

(a) “Adjusted patient day” means a county public hospital
health system’s total number of patient census days, as defined by
the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development,
multiplied by the following fraction: the numerator that is the sum
of the county public hospital health system’s total gross revenue
for all services provided to all patients, including nonhospital
services, and the denominator that is the sum of the county public
hospital health system’s gross inpatient revenue. The adjusted
patient days shall pertain to those services that are provided by
the county public hospital health system and shall exclude services
that are provided by contract or out-of-network clinics or hospitals.

(b) “Base year” means the fiscal year ending three years prior
to the fiscal year for which the redirected amount is calculated.

(c) “Blended CPI trend factor” means the blended percent
change applicable for the fiscal year that is derived from the
nonseasonally adjusted Consumer Price Index for All Urban
Consumers (CPI-U), United States City Average, for Hospital and
Related Services, weighted at 75 percent, and for Medical Care
Services, weighted at 25 percent, all as published by the United
States Bureau of Labor Statistics, computed as follows:

(1) For each prior fiscal year within the period to be trended
through the current fiscal year, the annual average of the monthly
index amounts shall be determined separately for the Hospital and
Related Services Index and the Medical Care Services Index.

(2) The year-to-year percentage changes in the annual averages
determined in paragraph (1) for each of the Hospital and Related
Services Index and the Medical Care Services Index shall be
calculated.

(3) A weighted average annual percentage change for each
year-to-year period shall be calculated from the determinations
made in paragraph (2), with the percentage changes in the Hospital
and Related Services Index weighted at 75 percent, and the
percentage changes in the Medical Care Services Index weighted
at 25 percent. The resulting average annual percentage changes
shall be expressed as a fraction, and increased by 1.00.

(4) The product of the successive year-to-year amounts
determined in paragraph (3) shall be the blended CPI trend factor.

(d) “Cost containment limit” means the public hospital health
system county’s Medi-Cal costs and uninsured costs determined
for the 2014-15 fiscal year and each subsequent fiscal year,
adjusted as follows:

(1) Notwithstanding paragraphs (2) to (4), inclusive, at the
public hospital health system county’s option it shall be deemed
to comply with the cost containment limit if the county demonstrates
that its total health care costs, including nursing facility, mental
health, and substance use disorder services, that are not limited
to Medi-Cal and uninsured patients, for the fiscal year did not
exceed its total health care costs in the base year, multiplied by
the blended CPI trend factor for the fiscal year. A county electing
this option shall elect by November 1 following the end of the fiscal
year, and submit its supporting reports for meeting this
requirement, including the annual report of financial transactions
required to be submitted to the Controller pursuant to Section
53891 of the Government Code.

(2) (A) The public hospital health system county’s Medi-Cal
costs, uninsured costs, and other entity intergovernmental transfer
amounts for the fiscal year shall be added together. Medi-Cal

amounts for purposes of this paragraph are as defined in
subdivisions (q), (t), and (y) for the relevant fiscal period.

(B) The public hospital health system county’s Medi-Cal costs,
uninsured costs, and imputed other entity intergovernmental
transfer amounts for the base year shall be added together and
multiplied by the blended CPI trend factor. The base year costs
used shall not reflect any adjustments under this subdivision.

(C) The fiscal year amount determined in subparagraph (A)
shall be compared to the trended amount in subparagraph (B). If
the amount in subparagraph (B) exceeds the amount in
subparagraph (A), the public hospital health system county shall
be deemed to have satisfied the cost containment limit. If the
amount in subparagraph (A) exceeds the amount in subparagraph
(B), the calculation in paragraph (3) shall be performed.

provided by the county public hospital health system for the fiscal
year exceeds its number of adjusted patient days of service
rendered in the base year by at least 10 percent, the excess adjusted
patient days above the base year for the fiscal year shall be
multiplied by the cost per adjusted patient day of the county public
hospital health system for the base year. The result shall be added
to the trended base year amount determined in subparagraph (B)
of paragraph (2), yielding the applicable cost containment limit,
subject to paragraph (4).

(B) If the number of adjusted patient days of service provided
by a county’s public hospital health system for the fiscal year does
not exceed its number of adjusted patient days of service rendered
in the base year by 10 percent, the applicable cost containment
limit is the trended base year amount determined in subparagraph
(B) of paragraph (2), subject to paragraph (4).

(4) If a public hospital health system county’s costs, as
determined in subparagraph (A) of paragraph (2), exceeds the
amount determined in subparagraph (B) of paragraph (2) as
adjusted by paragraph (3), the portion of the following cost
increases incurred in providing services to Medi-Cal beneficiaries
and uninsured patients shall be added to and reflected in any cost
containment limit:

(A) Electronic Health Records and related implementation and
infrastructure costs.

(B) Costs related to state or federally mandated activities,

determined in subparagraph (A) of paragraph (2), exceeds the
amount determined in subparagraph (B) of paragraph (2) as
adjusted by paragraphs (3) and (4), the county may request that
the department consider other costs as adjustments to the cost
containment limit, including, but not limited to, transfer amounts
in excess of the imputed other entity intergovernmental transfer
amount trended by the blended CPI trend factor, costs related to
case mix index increases, pension costs, expanded medical
education programs, increased costs in response to delivery system

gains from other payers shall be allocated to fund those costs only
to the extent that such other payer gains exist.

(ac) “Gains from other payers” means the county-specific
amount of revenues in excess of costs generated from all other
payers for health services. For purposes of this subdivision,
patients with other payer coverage are patients who are identified

hospital health systems, which the county public hospital health
systems shall submit to the department prior to July 30, 2013, and
the department’s analysis of why it chose its recommended
approach.

(c) If the Legislature enacts legislation implementing the
allocation methodology described in subparagraph (C) of
paragraph (2) of subdivision (ab) of Section 17612.2 by July 1,
2014, then notwithstanding Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section
11340) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code,
the department, without taking any further regulatory action, may
implement, interpret, or make specific this section by means of
all-county letters, plan letters, plan or provider bulletins, or similar
instructions.

(d) If the Legislature does not enact legislation implementing
the allocation methodology described in subparagraph (C) of
paragraph (2) of subdivision (ab) of Section 17612.2 by July 1,
2014, the department may implement the allocation methodology
described in subparagraph (C) of paragraph (2) of subdivision
(ab) of Section 17612.2 only by means that are in conformity with
Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1 of Division

shall hear and make a determination as to whether the county’s
proposed percentage or amount complies with the requirements
of this section taking into account the data and calculations of the
county and any alternative data and calculations submitted by the
department.

(6) The committee shall issue a decision within 45 days of the
petition. If the county chooses to contest the determination, the
decision of the committee will be applied for purposes of any
