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’s Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) is seeking approval from the Board of Supervisors for the IGT transaction, which will be based on actual health plan enrollment figures for July 1, 2019, through December 31, 2020. HHSA will transfer public health realignment funds (a total of $2,477,565 plus a 20 percent assessment fee of $495,513) to DHCS, who will use the funds to draw down additional federal dollars. HHSA will receive an amount approximately equal to its own transferred funds plus net new federal matching funds to support health services for Medi-Cal beneficiaries. These transactions will result in a net increase of approximately $3,843,287 of new federal funds to support local services in Fiscal Year 2020-21.
Historically, DHCS issues IGT Agreements for counties to execute retroactively. HHSA received the proposed Agreement on August 13, 2020, and is therefore requesting the Board approve the contract retroactively.
