Summary of Request:
The Medi-Cal program has been working 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 third IGT with Partnership HealthPlan of California (PHC). Through the IGT Transfer of Public Funds Agreement No. 14-90599 with the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), HHSA will transfer public health realignment funds ($1,270,198) to the DHCS. DHCS requires a simultaneous assessment fee transfer of 20% ($254,040) through the IGT Assessment Fee Agreement No. 14-90629. Through this IGT process, DHCS will increase its payments to Partnership HealthPlan of California (PHC). PHC will then pay HHSA through the 3rd Amendment of the PHC Health Plan-Provider Agreement. This payment will include the IGT Transfer funds plus new federal matching funds, less a 3 % administrative fee ($2,464,184). These transactions will result in the receipt of approximately $940,000 in net new federal funds to support local services.
