Ca Codes (hsc:100100-100140) Health And Safety Code Section 100100-100140 100100. There is in the state government in the California Health and Human Services Agency, a State Department of Health Services which, effective July 1, 2007, is hereby renamed the State Department of Health Care Services. Commencing July 1, 2007, any reference in this chapter, in Chapter 1.5 (commencing with Section 100145), or in Article 1 (commencing with Section 100150) of Chapter 2 to the State Department of Health Services is deemed to, instead, refer to the State Department of Health Care Services with regard to functions not transferred to the State Department of Public Health. Commencing July 1, 2007, all the duties, powers, purposes, responsibilities, and jurisdiction of the former State Department of Health Services not vested in the State Department of Public Health pursuant to Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 131050) of Part 1 of Division 112, shall be retained by, and thereafter be performed by, the renamed State Department of Health Care Services. 100105. (a) The department is under the control of an executive officer known as the Director of Health Care Services, who shall be appointed by the Governor, subject to confirmation by the Senate, and hold office at the pleasure of the Governor. (b) The director shall receive the annual salary provided by Article 1 (commencing with Section 11550) of Chapter 6 of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code. (c) Upon recommendation of the director, the Governor may appoint not to exceed two chief deputies of the department, subject to confirmation by the Senate, who shall hold office at the pleasure of the Governor. The salaries of the chief deputies shall be fixed in accordance with law. 100110. The director shall have the powers of a head of the department pursuant to Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 11150) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code. 100115. There is in the department a Division of Rural Health. The division shall administer Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 124550) and Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 124575) of Part 4 of Division 106, Section 101300, and Article 1 (commencing with Section 124600) of Chapter 5 of Part 4 of Division 106. 100120. All officers or employees of the department employed after July 1, 1978, shall be appointed by the director. 100125. Notwithstanding any other provision of state law, the department shall develop a proposal for consolidation of various programs affecting the health of mothers and children. The department, in developing the proposal, shall consult with the State Maternal Child and Adolescent Health Board, the California Conference of Local Health Officers, the California State Association of Counties, the Primary Care Clinic Advisory Committee, and other organizations interested in health services for women and children, as determined by the department, that shall assist it in identifying waivers of state and federal requirements that would be necessary to implement the proposal. The proposal shall consider administrative cost savings that may result from this consolidation. The department shall obtain waivers from state and federal requirements that the department determines are necessary to make the proposal viable. Any problem in obtaining the waivers shall be reported to the Legislature with the proposals. The department shall submit its proposal to the Legislature on or before January 1, 1984. Programs may include, but need not be limited to, the following: (a) California Children's Services. (b) WIC--Special Supplemental Food. (c) Child Health and Disability Prevention. (d) California Immunization Assistance Program. (e) Children and Youth Project. (f) Dental Disease Prevention. (g) Rural Health. (h) Indian Health. (i) Pediatric Renal Failure Centers. (j) Prepaid Health Plans. (k) Family Planning. ( l) Infant Medical Dispatch Centers Program. (m) Childhood Lead Program. (n) Tuberculosis Control Program. (o) Venereal Disease. (p) SSI Disabled Children's Program. (q) Other maternal and child health programs, including, but not limited to, the following: (1) Sickle Cell. (2) Prenatal Testing. (3) Tay Sachs. (4) Huntington's Disease. (5) Prenatal Access. (6) High Risk Followup. (7) O.B. Access. (8) Perinatal Health Clinics. (9) Primary Care Clinics. (10) Maternal and Child Health Grants. Consolidation may include combining two or more specialized programs or the development of a single planning, evaluation, budgeting and reporting process for two or more programs that share a common target population. The department may submit more than one proposal for consolidation if two or more groupings of programs merit consolidation. Each proposal shall be developed after a review by the department of consolidation efforts proposed or developed by the counties. In the design of the proposal, the department shall consider how state level plans may assist further development of these local efforts. The department shall consult with the Department of Finance to develop a simplified budget and reporting format for programs that are recommended for consolidation. The Department of Finance shall make modifications in the California Fiscal Information System as it deems necessary to accommodate the proposed program consolidation. The office shall consult with the department with respect to the implementation of this section. The office shall incorporate recommendations for the consolidation of maternal, child, and adolescent health services in applicable policy plans adopted after January 1, 1983. 100130. Each state level consolidation proposal shall include plans for the development of the following: (a) Common eligibility standards for programs included within the consolidated proposal, or, if federal law requires different eligibility standards for these programs, a common method for determining eligibility. (b) A single form for the collection of necessary data from individuals, or a uniform format shared by all programs included in the consolidated proposal. (c) A single form for reporting service delivery to the state. (d) Shared plans, budgets, and fiscal accountability mechanisms, including audit procedures. (e) Common intake points for services included in the consolidated system, that include eligibility determination, referral services, and follow through. (f) A unified case management system. (g) A method of determining the needs of, and developing services for, special populations. (h) Implementation plans that propose solutions to any identified significant barriers or gaps in service. 100135. The director may seek and grant waivers that the department determines are reasonably necessary for the implementation of the department's proposed consolidations. 100140. It is the intent of the Legislature that the duties and responsibilities provided for in Sections 100125 and 100130 be accomplished by utilizing existing staff resources, and that no additional funding be provided other than that appropriated by the Legislature in the annual Budget Act. Chapter 1.5. Health And Welfare Agency Report On Long-term Care
Ca Codes (hsc:100145-100147) Health And Safety Code Section 100145-100147 100145. The Legislature finds and declares that for older persons and persons with disabilities all of the following apply: (a) Long-term care consumers experience great differences in service levels, eligibility criteria and service availability that often results in inappropriate and expensive care that is not responsive to individual needs. (b) Individuals requiring long-term care services are most often the best judges of their own needs. Consequently, they should share the responsibility for designing the overall long-term care delivery system. (c) The laws governing long-term care facilities have established an uncoordinated array of long-term care services that are funded and administered by a state structure that lacks necessary integration and focus. (d) Article 4.05 (commencing with Section 14139.05) of Chapter 7 of Part 3 of Division 9 of the Welfare and Institutions Code sets forth the state's public policy strategy to address this problem through an approach that provides the opportunity for a community to design and implement a coordinated services delivery system with the involvement of long-term care consumers in the decisionmaking process. (e) The Long-Term Care Integration Pilot Projects were developed to test models for service integration, with the goal of providing a continuum of social and health services that foster independence and self-reliance, maintain individual dignity, and allow consumers of long-term care services to remain an integral part of their family and community life. (f) The adoption of the Mello-Granlund Older Californians Act (Division 8.5 (commencing with Section 9000) of the Welfare and Institutions Code) sought to improve the integration of available services at the local level and enhance the development of systems of home and community-based services. (g) Obstacles currently preventing the integration of long-term care programs and oversight at the state level include all of the following: inflexible and inconsistent funding sources, economic incentives that encourage the placement of consumers in the highest levels of care, lack of coordination between aging, health, and social service departments at the state level, and inflexible state and federal regulations. (h) It is both necessary and urgent to restructure long-term care programs and oversight at the state level so that duplicative and confusing eligibility criteria, assessments, intake forms, and service limitations will not continue to inhibit consumer satisfaction, impede improvements in consumer health status, and perpetuate the ineffective use of state resources. 100147. For purposes of this chapter, the following definitions shall apply: (a) "Long-term care" means a coordinated continuum of preventive, diagnostic, therapeutic, rehabilitative, supportive, and maintenance services that address the health, social and personal needs of older individuals and functionally-impaired adults who have restricted self-care capabilities. Long-term care may include licensed nursing facilities, adult residential care facilities, residential care facilities for the elderly, and home and community-based services. (b) "Systems of home and community based services" means an integrated continuum of service options available locally to older individuals and functionally-impaired adults through programs administered by the state for persons who seek to maximize self-care and independent living in the home or home-like environment. Chapter 2. General Powers Of The Department
Ca Codes (hsc:100150-100236) Health And Safety Code Section 100150-100236 100150. The State Department of Health Services succeeds to and is vested with all the duties, powers, purposes, responsibilities, and jurisdiction of the State Department of Health as they relate to public health, licensing and certification of health facilities, except community care facility licensing to which the State Department of Social Services succeeds, and any other functions performed by the Division of Public Health of the State Department of Health on July 1, 1978, unless the function is transferred to a different state agency or department as a result of another provision of the statutes of the 1977-78 Regular Session of the Legislature amending this section. "State department," "department," or "State Department of Health" as used in this code, except in Article 7.5 (commencing with Section 416) of Chapter 2 of Part 1 of Division 1 or as otherwise specified in this code, means the State Department of Health Services. The Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development shall assume the functions and responsibilities of the Facilities Construction Unit of the former State Department of Health, including, but not limited to, those functions and responsibilities performed pursuant to the following provisions of law: Sections 13113 and 127050; Article 1 (commencing with Section 129000) of Chapter 1 of, and Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 129375) of, Part 6 of, and Part 7 (commencing with Section 129675) of, Division 107. 100155. The department may use the unexpended balance of funds available for use in connection with the performance of the functions of the State Department of Health to which the department has succeeded pursuant to Section 100150. 100160. All officers and employees of the State Department of Health heretofore performing any duty, power, purpose, responsibility, or jurisdiction to which the department has succeeded, who, on July 1, 1978, are serving in the state civil service, other than as temporary employees, and engaged in the performance of a function vested in the department by Section 100150 shall be transferred to the department. The status, positions, and rights of these persons shall not be affected by the transfer and shall be retained by them as officers and employees of the department, pursuant to the State Civil Service Act except as to positions exempted from civil service. 100165. The department shall have possession and control of all records, papers, officers, equipment, supplies, moneys, funds, appropriations, land or other property, real or personal, held for the benefit or use of any state agency whose functions are vested in the department by Section 100150. 100170. (a) The department may commence and maintain all proper and necessary actions and proceedings for any or all of the following purposes: (1) To enforce its regulations. (2) To compel the performance of any act specifically enjoined upon any person, officer, or board, by any law of this state relating to its powers and duties. (b) It may defend all actions and proceedings involving its powers and duties. (c) In all actions and proceedings it shall sue and be sued under the name of the department. 100171. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, whenever the department is authorized or required by statute, regulation, due process (Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution; subdivision (a) of Section 7 of Article I of the California Constitution), or a contract, to conduct an adjudicative hearing leading to a final decision of the director or the department, the following shall apply: (a) The proceeding shall be conducted pursuant to the administrative adjudication provisions of Chapter 4.5 (commencing with Section 11400) and Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 11500) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code, except as specified in this section. (b) Notwithstanding Section 11502 of the Government Code, whenever the department conducts a hearing under Chapter 4.5 (commencing with Section 11400) or Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 11500) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code, the hearing shall be conducted before an administrative law judge selected by the department and assigned to a hearing office that complies with the procedural requirements of Chapter 4.5 (commencing with Section 11400) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code. (c) (1) Notwithstanding Section 11508 of the Government Code, whenever the department conducts a hearing under Chapter 4.5 (commencing with Section 11400) or Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 11500) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code, the time and place of the hearing shall be determined by the staff assigned to the hearing office of the department, except as provided in paragraph (2) or unless the department, by regulation, specifies otherwise. (2) Formal hearings requested by institutional Medi-Cal providers and health facilities shall be held in Sacramento. (d) (1) Unless otherwise specified in this section, the following sections of the Government Code shall apply to any adjudicative hearing conducted by the department only if the department has not, by regulation, specified an alternative procedure for the particular type of hearing at issue: Section 11503 (relating to accusations), Section 11504 (relating to statements of issues), Section 11505 (relating to the contents of the statement to respondent), Section 11506 (relating to the notice of defense), Section 11507.6 (relating to discovery rights and procedures), Section 11508 (relating to the time and place of hearings), and Section 11516 (relating to amendment of accusations). (2) Any alternative procedure specified by the department in accordance with this subdivision shall conform to the purpose of the Government Code provision it replaces insofar as it is possible to do so consistent with the specific procedural requirements applicable to the type of hearing at issue. (3) Any alternative procedures adopted by the department under this subdivision shall not diminish the amount of notice given of the issues to be heard by the department or deprive appellants of the right to discovery suitable to the particular proceedings. Except as specified in paragraph (2) of subdivision (c), modifications of timeframes or of the place of hearing made by regulation shall not lengthen timeframes within which the department is required to act nor require hearings to be held at a greater distance from the appellant's place of residence or business than is the case under the otherwise applicable Government Code provision. (e) The specific timelines specified in Section 11517 of the Government Code shall not apply to any adjudicative hearing conducted by the department to the extent that the department has, by regulation, specified different timelines for the particular type of hearing at issue. (f) In the case of any adjudicative hearing conducted by the department, "transcript," as used in subdivision (c) of Section 11517 of the Government Code, shall be deemed to include any alternative form of recordation of the oral proceedings, including, but not limited to, an audio recording. (g) Pursuant to Section 11415.50 of the Government Code, the department may, by regulation, provide for any appropriate informal procedure to be used for an informal level of review that does not itself lead to a final decision of the department or the director. The procedures specified in Article 10 (commencing with Section 11445.10) of Chapter 4.5 of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code shall not apply to an informal level of review authorized by this subdivision. Informal conferences concerning appeals by institutional Medi-Cal providers and health facilities may be held in Sacramento or Los Angeles. (h) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any adjudicative hearing conducted by the department that is conducted pursuant to a federal statutory or regulatory requirement that contains specific procedures may be conducted pursuant to those procedures to the extent they are inconsistent with the procedures specified in this section. (i) Nothing in this section shall apply to a fair hearing involving a Medi-Cal beneficiary insofar as the hearing is, by agreement or otherwise, heard before an administrative law judge employed by the State Department of Social Services, or insofar as the hearing is being held pursuant to Division 4.5 (commencing with Section 4500) of the Welfare and Institutions Code in connection with services provided by the State Department of Developmental Services under applicable federal Medicaid waivers. Nothing in this subdivision shall be interpreted as abrogating the authority of the State Department of Health Care Services as the single state agency under the state Medicaid plan. (j) Nothing in this provision shall supersede express provisions of law that apply to any hearing that is not adjudicative in nature or that does not involve due process rights specific to an individual or specific individuals, as opposed to the general public or a segment of the general public. 100185.5. (a) When a letter or order of denial of continued enrollment or suspension of any type or duration, based upon fraud or abuse, or a withholding of payments, based upon reliable evidence of fraud or willful misrepresentation, is issued by the department to a provider, the director shall review the evidence supporting the denial of continued enrollment, suspension, or withholding of payments. If, in the opinion of the director, the evidence shows a pattern or practice of fraud, abuse, or willful misrepresentation that, if replicated in any other health care program administered by the department, could cause either fiscal loss to the state or harm to any participant, the director may deny continued enrollment, suspend, or withhold payments to, the provider with respect to those other health care programs. Any denial of continued enrollment, suspension, or withholding of payments may be for an indefinite or definite period of time, may be stayed for a period of time, and may be with or without conditions or probation. (b) The director may deny the application of an applicant or provider to participate in any health care program administered by the department, when, based upon fraud or abuse, the applicant or provider has been denied continued enrollment in, or suspended from, any health care program administered by the department, or has had payments withheld based upon reliable evidence of fraud or willful misrepresentation in connection with any health care program administered by the department, and remains ineligible to participate in the health care program from which the applicant or provider was denied continued enrollment, suspended, or had payments withheld. (c) The director may deny any new or additional application of a provider to participate in any health care program administered by the department if utilization controls including, but not limited to, prior authorization or special claims review pursuant to Sections 51159, 51455, and 51460 of Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations have been imposed upon that provider by any health care program administered by the department. Applications shall not be denied based solely upon utilization controls imposed upon an entire class or category of providers to which that provider belongs. (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any provider or applicant who has been denied continued enrollment in, or suspended from, or who has had payments withheld in connection with, any health care program administered by the department, or whose application to participate in a health care program administered by the department is denied, pursuant to this section, may appeal that action in accordance with Section 14043.65 of the Welfare and Institutions Code. (e) For purposes of this section, the following definitions apply: (1) "Abuse" has the same meaning as that term is defined in Section 14043.1 of the Welfare and Institutions Code. (2) "Administered by the department" means administered by the State Department of Health Services or by its agents or contractors on behalf of the State Department of Health Services. (3) "Applicant" means any person, individual, partnership, group, association, corporation, institution, or entity, and the officers, directors, owners, managing employees, or agents thereof, that applies to the department for enrollment as a provider or participation as a provider in a health care program administered by the department. (4) "Fraud" has the same meaning as that term is defined in Section 14043.1 of the Welfare and Institutions Code. (5) "Provider" means any person, individual, partnership, group, association, corporation, institution, or entity, and the officers, directors, owners, managing employees, or agents thereof, that provides services, goods, supplies, or merchandise, directly or indirectly, to a person enrolled in a health care program administered by the department. (6) "Withholding of payments" means the withholding of payments in accordance with Section 14107.11 of the Welfare and Institutions Code. (f) For purposes of this section, "suspension" includes, but is not limited to, suspensions authorized under Article 1.3 (commencing with Section 14043) or Article 3 (commencing with Section 14123) of Chapter 7 of Part 3 of Division 9 of the Welfare and Institutions Code. (g) For purposes of this section, "health care program administered by the department" includes, but is not limited to, the Medi-Cal program. 100220. With the approval of the Department of Finance, and for use in the furtherance of the work of the department, the director may accept (a) grants of interest in real property, and (b) gifts of money from public agencies or from organizations or associations organized for scientific, educational, or charitable purposes. 100236. (a) Within 60 days of enactment of the Budget Act, the department shall advance to a local health department 25 percent of the annual General Fund allocation, subvention, or reimbursement required by a local health department for the delivery of services specified in subdivision (b). In determining the dollar amount of the 25 percent allocation, subvention, or reimbursement, the department shall use the local health department's prior year's or the most recently completed fiscal year's allocation. (b) Subdivision (a) shall apply to the following health programs and General Fund funding sources: (1) Funding for administration for the California Children's Services Program (Article 5 (commencing with Section 123800) of Chapter 3 of Part 2 of Division 106). (2) Funding for medical therapy for the California Children's Services Program (Article 5 (commencing with Section 123800) of Chapter 3 of Part 2 of Division 106). (3) Funding for administration for the Child Health and Disability Prevention Program (Article 6 (commencing with Section 124025) of Chapter 3 of Part 2 of Division 106). (4) Funding for HIV education and prevention services under Section 100119. (c) This section shall not apply to a local health department that is three or more quarters in arrears in billing the state for the programs specified in subdivision (b). (d) For purposes of this section, "local health department" has the same meaning as that set forth in Section 101185. Article 1.5. Inclusion Of Women And Minorities In Clinical Research Act.
Ca Codes (hsc:100237-100239) Health And Safety Code Section 100237-100239 100237. (a) This article shall be known, and may be cited as, the "Inclusion of Women and Minorities in Clinical Research Act." (b) For purposes of this article, the following definitions and descriptions shall apply: (1) "Grantee" means any qualified public, private, or nonprofit agency or individual, including, but not limited to, colleges, universities, hospitals, laboratories, research institutions, local health departments, voluntary health agencies, health maintenance organizations, corporations, students, fellows, entrepreneurs, and individuals conducting clinical research using state funds.

(2) "Minority group" shall be defined pursuant to the definition in the 1993 National Institutes of Health guidelines. (3) "Project of clinical research" includes a clinical trial. 100238. (a) In conducting or supporting a project of clinical research, a grantee shall, except as provided in subdivision (b) or (e), do all of the following: (1) Ensure that women, including, but not limited to, women over the age of 40 years, are included as subjects in each research project. (2) Ensure that minority groups are included as subjects in each research project. (3) Conduct or support outreach programs for the recruitment of women and members of minority groups as subjects in projects of clinical research. (b) The requirement established in subdivisions (a) and (d) regarding women and members of minority groups shall not apply to a project of clinical research if the inclusion, as subjects in the project, of women and minority groups is inappropriate for either of the following reasons: (1) With respect to the health and safety of the subjects. (2) With respect to the purpose of the research. (c) In the case of any clinical trial in which women or members of minority groups will, under subdivision (a), be included as subjects, a grantee shall ensure that the trial is designed and carried out in a manner sufficient to provide for a valid analysis of whether the variables being studied in the trial affect women or members of minority groups, as the case may be, differently than other subjects in the trial. (d) In any grant, or in any contract by a grantee under a grant, the grantee or contracting party shall acknowledge, agree to, and be bound by, the terms of this section.
