(3) In the event of a final judicial determination made by any state or federal court that is not appealed, or by a court of appellate jurisdiction that is not further appealed, in any action by any party or a final determination by the administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, that reimbursement by the Medi-Cal program to long-term health care facilities for costs associated with this section is required by state or federal law or regulation, this subdivision shall become operative only upon appropriation by the Legislature.

(c) Nothing in this section shall limit a facility’s ability to provide aid, care, service, and other benefits available under Medi-Cal in the manner, method, scope, and level appropriate based upon resident acuity and health care needs.

(d) This section shall be implemented only to the extent that it does not conflict with federal law and that any necessary federal approvals are obtained and federal financial participation for the Medi-Cal program is available and is not otherwise jeopardized.
