Status: in_force

(a) The Legislature finds and declares the need to improve the reporting relationship between the state and hospitals eligible to contract with the state for the provision of inpatient services to Medi-Cal eligible persons as provided for in the Medi-Cal reform legislation enacted during the 1981–82 Legislative Session.

(b) Existing statutes require hospitals to file a multiplicity of reports with various state agencies for a variety of purposes, including, but not limited to, the development of Medi-Cal reimbursement rates for inpatient services. The Medi-Cal reform legislation enacted during the 1981–82 Legislative Session significantly altered the manner in which hospitals are reimbursed under the program for these services, thereby establishing the opportunity to redefine and restructure the existing hospital reporting requirements.

(c) It is the Legislature’s intent, therefore, that the existing reporting requirements be reviewed and revised for efficiency, wherever possible, with consideration given to the development of a consolidated, single, multipurpose report for use by all state agencies.

(d) It is the Legislature’s further intent that, in determining these efficiencies, the purposes for which the reports are required be preserved.
