Health care providers which contract with a prepaid group
						  practice health care service plan that annually has at least 20,000 births among its
						  membership may provide, without contracting with the Department, any or all of the
						  testing and counseling services required to be provided under this group, if the
						  services meet quality standards established by the Department and the plan pays that
						  portion of a fee established under section
						  6540 which is directly attributable to
						  the Department's cost of administering the testing or counseling service and any
						  required testing or counseling services provided by the state for plan members
						  during the previous fiscal year. This option must be executed under terms of a
						  written agreement with the Department. Payment by the plan shall be deemed to
						  fulfill any obligation the provider or the provider's patient may have to the
						  Department to pay a fee in connection with the testing or counseling
						  service.
