This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

Existing law, the Knox-Keene Health Care Service Plan Act of 1975, provides for the licensure and regulation of health care service plans by the Department of Managed Health Care and makes a willful violation of that act a crime. Existing law also provides for the regulation of health insurers by the Department of Insurance. Existing law requires every health care service plan or health insurer that covers hospital, medical, or surgical expenses on a group basis to provide certain preventive health care benefits for children, including immunizations. Existing law prohibits a risk-based contract between a health care service plan and a physician or physician group from including a provision requiring the physician or physician group to assume financial risk for the acquisition costs of required immunizations for children and specifies the reimbursement rate with respect to immunizations that are not part of the current contract between a health care service plan and a physician or physician group. This bill would prohibit a plan from requiring a physician or physician group to assume financial risk for the acquisition or administration costs of required immunizations and would require a health care service plan or health insurer that provides coverage for childhood and adolescent immunizations to include in its reimbursement of a physician or physician group a reimbursement for the cost of administration of the vaccine, as specified. The bill would specify that these requirements would not apply to services provided pursuant to contracts or policies with the Board of Administration of the Public Employees' Retirement System or to services provided pursuant to Medi-Cal or the Healthy Families Program. The bill would make other related changes. Because a willful violation of the bill's requirements relative to health care service plans would be a crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. 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. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
