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 provides that federally qualified health center (FQHC) services, as described, are covered benefits under the Medi-Cal program, to be reimbursed, to the extent that federal financial participation is obtained, to providers on a per-visit basis. "Visit" is defined as a face-to-face encounter between a patient of an FQHC and specified health care professionals. Existing federal law authorizes a state plan to provide for payment in any fiscal year to an FQHC for specified services in an amount that is determined under an alternative payment methodology (APM) if it is agreed to by the state and the FQHC and results in a payment to the FQHC of an amount that is at least equal to the amount otherwise required to be paid to the FQHC. This bill would require the department to authorize an APM pilot project, to commence no sooner than July 1, 2016, for FQHCs that agree to participate. The bill would require the department to authorize implementation of an APM pilot project with respect to a county for a period of up to 3 years. The bill would require the department to determine an APM supplemental capitation amount for each APM aid category to be paid by the department to each principal health plan that contains at least one participating FQHC in its provider network, as specified. The bill would require, except as specified, the department to contract with an independent entity to perform an evaluation of the APM pilot project, and would require that the evaluation be completed and provided to the Legislature, to the extent practicable, within 6 months of the conclusion of the APM pilot project in certain counties, as specified.
