This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis.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 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. Existing law establishes a quality assurance fee program for skilled nursing and intermediate care facilities, as prescribed. This bill, commencing July 1, 2017, and subject to federal approval, would impose a quality assurance fee for each emergency medical transport provided by an emergency medical transport provider, as defined, subject to the quality assurance fee in accordance with a prescribed methodology. The bill would authorize the director to exempt categories of emergency medical transport providers from the quality assurance fee if necessary to obtain federal approval. The bill would require the Director of Health Care Services to deposit the collected quality assurance fee into the Medi-Cal Emergency Medical Transport Fund, which the bill would create in the State Treasury, to be continuously appropriated, thereby making an appropriation, to the department to be used exclusively in a specified order of priority to enhance federal financial participation for ambulance services under the Medi-Cal program, and to provide additional reimbursement to, and to support quality improvement efforts of, emergency medical transport providers, to pay for state administrative costs, and to provide funding for health care coverage for Californians. The bill, on or before November 15, 2016, would require each emergency medical transport provider to report to the department specified data, including data on gross receipts, as defined, from the provision of emergency medical transports, as specified, in a manner and form prescribed by the department and, commencing on January 1, 2017, and each fiscal quarter thereafter, would require each emergency medical transport provider to report this data to the department. The bill would authorize the department to establish an Internet Web site for the submission of these data reports. The bill would authorize the department to require a certification by each emergency medical transport provider, under penalty of perjury, of the truth of these data reports. By expanding the scope of the crime of perjury, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would authorize the department, upon written notice to the emergency medical transport provider, to impose a $100 per day penalty against the provider for each day that the provider fails to make a report within 5 business days of the date upon which the data report was due. The bill, commencing July 1, 2017, and subject to federal approval, would increase the Medi-Cal reimbursement to emergency medical transport providers for emergency medical transports, including both fee-for-service transports paid by the department and managed care transports paid by Medi-Cal managed care health plans, as specified. The bill would authorize the department to adopt regulations as necessary to implement these provisions, as specified. The bill would provide that the provisions of the bill shall cease to be implemented if any of certain conditions, including withdrawal of federal approval, are satisfied. 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. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
