LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


SB 115, as amended, Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review. Medi-Cal: managed care organization provider tax. Budget Act of 2019: Budget Act of 2020.
The Budget Act of 2019 and the Budget Act of 2020 made appropriations for the support of state government for the 2019–20 and 2020–21 fiscal years.
This bill would amend the Budget Act of 2019 and the Budget Act of 2020 by amending, adding, and repealing items of appropriation, and making other changes.
This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as a Budget Bill.

(1)Existing law establishes the Medi-Cal program, administered by the State Department of Health Care Services, under which health care services are provided to qualified low-income persons. The Medi-Cal program is, in part, governed and funded by federal Medicaid program provisions. Under existing law, one of the methods by which Medi-Cal services are provided is pursuant to contracts with various types of managed care plans. Existing law, until July 1, 2019, imposed a managed care organization provider tax, administered and assessed by the department, on licensed health care service plans, managed care plans contracted with the department to provide Medi-Cal services, and alternate health care service plans (AHCSP), as defined. The tax included the establishment of applicable taxing tiers and per enrollee amounts for each fiscal year, and all revenues, less refunds, derived from the tax were deposited into the State Treasury to the credit of the Health and Human Services Special Fund in the State Treasury, and continuously appropriated to the department for purposes of funding the nonfederal share of Medi-Cal managed care rates for health care services furnished to specified persons.

Existing law declares the intent of the Legislature to enact a managed care organization provider tax in California, and requires the collection of the tax and the associated revenue contingent upon receipt of approval from the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

This bill would establish a managed care organization provider tax, with substantially similar provisions, that would become effective and operative on the effective date of the federal approval necessary for receipt of federal financial participation, as specified. The bill would specify the applicable tax amounts for each taxing tier for the 2019–20, 2020–21, and 2021–22, fiscal years, and the first 6 months of the 2022–23 fiscal year. The bill would establish the Health Care Services Special Fund. All revenues, less refunds, derived from the taxes provided for in the bill would be deposited in the State Treasury to the credit of the fund and continuously appropriated, without regard to fiscal year, to the department for purposes of funding the nonfederal share of Medi-Cal managed care rates for health care services furnished to children, adults, seniors and persons with disabilities, and persons dually eligible for Medi-Cal and Medicare. By creating a continuously appropriated fund, the bill would make an appropriation.

This bill would make these provisions inoperative on January 1, 2023, or under other circumstances specified in the bill, and would repeal it as of January 1, 2024.

(2)This bill would include a change in state statute that would result in a taxpayer paying a higher tax within the meaning of Section 3 of Article XIII A of the California Constitution, and thus would require for passage the approval of 23 of the membership of each house of the Legislature.

(3)This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as a bill providing for appropriations related to the Budget Bill.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

The grant process shall ensure that any qualified legal service project or support center that received funding pursuant to subdivision (a) may only receive funding pursuant to this subdivision if that qualified legal service project or support center demonstrates that funds received under this subdivision will be not be used to supplant existing resources, and will be used to provide services to tenants not otherwise served by that qualified legal service project or support center. The commission shall make the grant award determinations. In awarding these grants, preference shall be given to qualified legal aid agencies that serve rural or underserved communities and that serve clients regardless of immigration or citizenship status. Any funding not allocated pursuant to this competitive grant process shall be distributed pursuant to subdivision (a), except that there shall be no minimum funding amount for these funds.
7.Funds appropriated in Provision 6 are available for encumbrance and expenditure until June 30, 2021.

For the small grant program within the Electric Program Investment Charge program (also known as CalSEED), the commission may award follow-on funding not to exceed $12,000,000 to accelerate the CalSEED competitive grant solicitations.

(2)The project will spend a minimum of 80 percent of its funding from the program in California.
(3)The project has received funding for the original project or technology through a competitive bid process from a state or federal agency.

(8)The project has not previously received follow-on funding through a non-competitive process.
(c)The commission may award follow-on funding following commission approval of the award at a business meeting.

(b)Eligibility requirements for the benefit. This shall include the functional capabilities and the individualized caregiving requirements for possible recipients, informed consent to enroll, and the acknowledgment that no Medi-Cal beneficiary is required to involuntarily discontinue or reduce utilization of other long-term services and supports benefits provided under a federal waiver program or State Plan for which the beneficiary is otherwise eligible.

(f)A requirement that all Long-Term Care at Home providers provide culturally and linguistically appropriate care to beneficiaries.
18.The State Department of Health Care Services, in consultation with the Department of Aging, the State Department of Social Services, the State Department of Developmental Services, and the State Department of Public Health, shall engage with stakeholders, including the Master Plan for Aging’s Long Term Services and Supports Subcommittee and the Legislature, on an on-going basis, beginning in September 2020, and continuing through the implementation of the Long Term Care at Home benefit pursuant to Provision 17. This on-going consultation shall include updates and the ability to receive input on the design and implementation details of the benefit, including, but not limited to, goals and outcomes, eligibility requirements, services, reimbursement methodologies, provider requirements, and model of care. The State Department of Health Care Services will solicit feedback on challenges or necessary program design changes through the consultation process. The consultation process shall include public hearings during the 2021 budget process. The departments, in conjunction with these ongoing updates, shall provide updates to and receive input about current and emerging efforts to decompress the use of congregate settings including increased flexibilities for and expansion of existing Home and Community Based Services programs and access to testing and personal protective equipment for participants, staff, residents of nursing homes, and Home and Community Based Services programs during the COVID-19 crisis and prior to implementation of any new benefit.

(2)Waiver of some or all of the interest or penalties pursuant to this subdivision shall be conditioned on the health plan’s agreement to make tax payments on an alternative schedule developed by the department that takes into account the financial situation of the health plan and the potential impact on the delivery of services to Medi-Cal beneficiaries.

If a merger, acquisition, establishment, or any other similar transaction results in the transfer of health plan responsibility for only some of a health plan’s countable enrollees under this article but not all countable enrollees, the full tax amount as provided in this article shall remain the responsibility of that health plan to which that full tax amount was assessed.
