What it does
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, the Department of Health Services (DHS) may award grants to nonprofit associations or public agencies to provide services to individuals who have the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or who are at risk of contracting HIV. Currently, DHS administers the Medical Assistance program (MA), which provides health services to individuals with limited resources.
Under this bill, if a nonprofit association or public agency that receives certain grants to provide services to individuals with HIV enters into an agreement with a hospital to coordinate HIV-related specialty care and hospital services, DHS must pay the grant or a portion of the grant to the hospital for HIV-related services provided to MA beneficiaries. Additionally, DHS must make a supplemental payment from its MA funds to those hospitals that receive the state share of payments from the grant and that have an agreement with a nonprofit association or public agency to coordinate HIV-related specialty care and hospital services. Any grant moneys paid to hospitals comprise the state share of payments for the purposes of those supplemental payments.
