Summary
Existing law establishes the Medi-Cal program, which is administered by the State Department of Health Care Services and 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.
Under existing law, each hospital designated by the department as a critical access hospital, and certified as such by the Secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services under the federal Medicare Rural Hospital Flexibility Program, is eligible for supplemental payments for Medi-Cal covered outpatient services rendered to Medi-Cal eligible persons. Existing law sets forth various other provisions regarding Medi-Cal reimbursement in consideration of small and rural hospitals.
This bill would require the department to convene a Rural Hospital Technical Advisory Group, with a certain composition of stakeholders, at least bimonthly during the 2025 calendar year. The bill would set forth the purposes of the advisory group, including, among other things, analyzing the continued ability of small, rural, or critical access hospitals, as defined, to remain financially viable under existing Medi-Cal reimbursement methodologies, providing related recommendations, and identifying key contributors to the financial challenges of those hospitals, as specified.
The bill would require, by March 31, 2026, the department, in consultation with the advisory group, to report to the Legislature on the findings and recommendations arising out of the convenings, as specified.
