Summary of Request:
The Medi-Cal program through the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) works with local government entities and managed care Medi-Cal Plans to implement a specific type of intergovernmental transfer (or IGT) known as the “Rate Range IGT.” These IGT’s allow local government to bring additional federal dollars into the Medi-Cal system to improve health care access and outcomes for Medi-Cal beneficiaries.
Mendocino County Public Health (MCPH) is seeking approval from the Board of Supervisors (BOS) for the IGT transaction, which will be based on actual health plan enrollment figures for the services period of January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. Through the proposed retroactive Agreement, MCPH will transfer public health realignments funds totaling $574,459.20 ($459,567.36 estimated contribution plus a 20 percent assessment fee of $114,891.84) to DHCS, who will use the funds to draw down additional federal dollars. MCPH will receive an amount approximately equal to its own transferred funds plus a net new federal matching funds to support health services for Medi-Cal beneficiaries.
Historically, DHCS issues IGT Agreements for counties to execute retroactively. MCPH received the proposed retroactive Agreement post July 1, 2024, and therefore is requesting BOS approval of the retroactive Agreement.
