(1) Existing law establishes the Medi-Cal program, administered by the State Department of Health Care Services, under which health care services are provided to qualified low-income persons. The Medi-Cal program is, in part, governed and funded by federal Medicaid program provisions. Under existing law, one of the methods by which Medi-Cal services are provided is pursuant to contracts with various types of managed care plans. Existing law, until July 1, 2019, imposed a managed care organization provider tax, administered and assessed by the department, on licensed health care service plans, managed care plans contracted with the department to provide Medi-Cal services, and alternate health care service plans (AHCSP) , as defined. The tax included the establishment of applicable taxing tiers and per enrollee amounts for each fiscal year, and all revenues, less refunds, derived from the tax were deposited into the State Treasury to the credit of the Health and Human Services Special Fund in the State Treasury, and continuously appropriated to the department for purposes of funding the nonfederal share of Medi-Cal managed care rates for health care services furnished to specified persons.
