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 a “Rate Range IGT.” These IGTs allow local governments to bring additional federal dollars into the Medi-Cal system to improve health care access and outcomes for Medi-Cal beneficiaries.
Mendocino County Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) is seeking approval from the Board of Supervisors to participate in a fourth IGT with Partnership HealthPlan of California (PHC). Through the IGT Transfer of Public Funds Agreement #16-93687 with the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), HHSA will transfer public health realignment. DHCS requires a simultaneous assessment fee transfer of 20%through the IGT Assessment Fee Agreement #16-93718. Through this IGT process, DHCS will increase its payments to Partnership HealthPlan of California (PHC). PHC will then pay HHSA through the 4th Amendment of the PHC Health Plan-Provider Agreement. These transactions will result in net increase of new federal funds to support local services of approximately $899,753 in FY 2017-18 and $1,056,636 in FY 2018-19.
