Summary

Existing law provides for the Medi-Cal program, which is administered by the State Department of Health Care Services and under which qualified low-income persons receive health care benefits and services. The Medi-Cal program is, in part, governed and funded by federal Medicaid Program provisions. Existing law provides for a demonstration project, known as California's "Bridge to Reform" Medicaid demonstration project, under the Medi-Cal program until October 31, 2015, to implement specified objectives, including better care coordination for seniors and persons with disabilities and maximization of opportunities to reduce the number of uninsured individuals. Existing law requires the department to seek a subsequent demonstration project to implement specified objectives, including maximizing federal Medicaid funding for county public hospitals health systems and components that maintain a comparable level of support for delivery system reform in the county public hospital health systems as was provided under California's "Bridge to Reform" Medicaid demonstration project. SB 815 of the 2015–16 Regular Session, if enacted, would establish the Medi-Cal 2020 Demonstration Project Act, under which the department is required to implement specified components of the subsequent demonstration project, referred to as California's Medi-Cal 2020 demonstration project, consistent with the Special Terms and Conditions approved by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. This bill would require the department to establish and operate the Whole Person Care pilot program, a component of the Medi-Cal 2020 demonstration project, under which counties, Medi-Cal managed care plans, and community providers that elect to participate in the pilot program are provided an opportunity to establish a new model for integrated care delivery that incorporates health care needs, behavioral needs, and social support, including housing and other supportive services, for the state's most high-risk, high-utilizing populations. The bill would establish the Whole Person Care Pilot Special Fund in the State Treasury, which would consist of moneys that a participating governmental agency or entity elects to transfer to the department as a condition of participation in the pilot program. The bill would provide that these funds shall be continuously appropriated, thereby making an appropriation, to the department to be used to fund the nonfederal share of any payments of Whole Person Care pilot payments authorized under California's Medi-Cal 2020 demonstration project. The bill would require the department to implement the Dental Transformation Initiative (DTI) , a component of the Medi-Cal 2020 demonstration project, under which DTI incentive payments, as defined, within specified domain categories would be made available to qualified providers who meet achievements within one or more of the project domains. The bill would provide that providers in either the dental fee-for-service or dental managed care Medi-Cal delivery systems would be eligible to participate in the DTI. The bill would require the department to conduct, or arrange to have conducted, any study, report, assessment, evaluation, or other similar demonstration project activity required under the Special Terms and Conditions. The bill would become operative only if SB 815 of the 2015–16 Regular Session is enacted and takes effect on or before January 1, 2017. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
