*********** ANALYSIS ADDENDUM - SUSPENSE FILE ***********
The following information is revised to reflect amendments
adopted by the committee on August 27, 2015
Bill
Summary: AB 97 would require the Case Management Information
and Payrolling System (CMIPS II) for the In-Home Supportive
Services (IHSS) program to be reprogrammed to enable managed
health care plans to pay a provider for additional services
authorized for IHSS recipients in participating counties of the
Coordinated Care Initiative (CCI), as specified.
Fiscal
Impact:
One-time costs of $6 million ($3 million General Fund) for
reprogramming of CMIPS II and ongoing costs of $1 million
($0.5 million General Fund).
Potential increase in county administrative costs (Federal
Fund/General Fund) to enter data from two payroll systems into
the CMIPS II database in order to differentiate between
authorized hours for IHSS and by managed health care plans.

Amendments: Clarify that IHSS service hours and managed care
health plan service hours are separate and distinct.
Staff notes this amendment addresses the potential fiscal impact
associated with an increase in IHSS program costs for overtime
and related activities, to the extent issuing a single payroll
check to providers for both IHSS authorized hours and hours
authorized by managed health care plans triggers the
requirements related to overtime under the federal Fair Labor
Standards Act (FLSA).
