APPENDIX D


 


PRIVATE HOSPITAL SUPPLEMENTAL FUND


 


This version of Appendix D governs dates of services and related
Medi-Cal supplemental reimbursements for State Fiscal Year 2007-08.


 


Pursuant to the provisions of Welfare and Institutions Code Section 14166.12
relating to negotiations and disbursements from the Private Hospital
Supplemental Fund (Fund), the parties agree as follows:


 


A.                                  Payment


 


In accordance with subdivisions (j) and (m) of Section 14166.12
of the Welfare and Institutions Code, and subject to Section B of this
Appendix D, the State agrees to pay the Provider from the Fund:


 


(1)                                For
services rendered from July 1, 2007 through November 30, 2007:


 


(a)                                  The installment
amount of *** if Provider is listed on the 2007-08 tentative Disproportionate
Share Hospital (DSH) list issued by the California Department of Health Care
Services (Department).


 


4

















 


Payment will be made by September 27, 2007, or as soon thereafter
as practicable.


 


(b)                      The installment amount of *** if
Provider is listed on the 2007-08 final DSH list issued by the Department.  Payment shall be made by December 1,
2007, or as soon thereafter as practicable after the issuance of the 2007-08
final DSH list.


 


(2) For services rendered from January 1,
2008 through April 30, 2008 as follows:


 


(a)                                              The
installment amount of *** will be made by April 1, 2008, or as soon
thereafter as practicable.


 


(b)                                             The
installment amount of *** will be made by May 15, 2008, or as soon
thereafter as practicable.


 


B.                                    Recovery,
Right of Offset, and Hold Harmless


 


(1)                                Payment(s) received
by Provider from the Fund for the 2007-08 state fiscal  year may be subject to recovery by the
Department if the Department determines that the Provider fails at any time
during the 2007-08 state fiscal year to meet the eligibility criteria for Fund
disbursements, as specified in


 


5

















 


Welfare and Institutions Code Section 14166.12.  If the Provider fails to return the funds
within 30 calendar days from the time of the Department’s notification, the
Department may offset the amount to be recovered against any Medi-Cal payments
which otherwise would be payable by the Department to the Provider, pursuant to
Welfare and Institutions Code Section 14115.5.


 


(a)                                  Provider must
promptly return to the Department all payments received from the Fund for the
2007-08 state fiscal year if the Department determines that the Provider fails
at any time during the 2007-08 state fiscal year to receive and/or maintain
final DSH status, under Welfare and Institutions Code Sections 14166.11,
14105.98, and 14163, for the 2007-08 DSH payment adjustment year.


 


(b)                                 Unless Subparagraph (a) applies,
Provider must promptly return to the Department amounts received from the Fund
for the 2007-08 state fiscal year that equal the pro-rata portion of Provider’s
2002-03 supplement fund amount, plus any payments over the Provider’s 2002-03
supplement fund amount received from the Fund for the 2007-08 state fiscal year
if the Department determines that the Provider failed to meet participation
criteria for the entire 2007-08 state fiscal year, other than DSH status
addressed in Subparagraph (a) above,


 


6

















 


specified in Welfare and Institutions Code Sections 14085.6 and
14166.12, which includes, but is not limited to, failed for any reason to
maintain its Emergency Department as operational and licensed at the Basic
Level or higher level.  For purposes of
this Subparagraph (b), the amount equal to the pro-rata portion of Provider’s
2002-03 supplement fund payment, pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code Section 14166.12
(j), will be calculated on the number of days during the 2007-08 state fiscal
year that the Provider failed to meet participation criteria.


 


(2) It is understood that payment made to the Provider pursuant to
this Appendix D, and all prior versions of Appendix D, include State and
federal funds.  The State shall be held
harmless from any federal disallowance or withholding resulting from payment
made to Provider pursuant to this Appendix D, or any prior version(s) of
Appendix D, and the Provider shall be liable for any reduced federal financial
participation resulting from the payment of funds pursuant to this Appendix D,
or any prior version(s) of Appendix D. 
In the event of federal disallowance or withholding of federal financial
participation for any payments made to the Provider pursuant to this Appendix
D, or any prior versions(s) of Appendix D, at the time of the federal
disallowance or withholding the State, in its sole discretion, may limit its
recovery from the Provider to the amount of funds


 


7

















 


disallowed and paid by the State to the Provider.  Provider agrees that the amount of any such
recovery may be recouped by the State by withholding and offsetting, under
Welfare and Institutions Code Section 14115.5, the amount due from what
would otherwise be the State’s liability to the Provider under this Contract or
otherwise, seeking recovery by payment from the Provider, or a combination of
these two methods. If, after federal disallowance or withholding and State
recovery or offset of funds paid to the Provider, the State regains the federal
funds disallowed or withheld, then the federal and related state funds shall be
repaid by the State to the Provider.
