The 2024-25 Budget: Department of Health Care Access and Information
information is not forthcoming, we recommend the Legislature use the
funds to support workforce programs of its choosing, support other
high-priority areas, or offset General Fund spending in Medi-Cal.
Hospital Relief
Program Implementation Update
In this section, we provide an implementation update to two hospital
relief programs enacted in last year’s budget. We first provide
background on hospitals in California and the two relief programs. We
then describe how the initiatives have been implemented to date.
Background
California Hospitals Are Operated by Many Different
Entities. Hospitals in California are operated by many
different entities, such as private entities, counties, health care
districts, and the University of California. Most are known as “general
acute care” hospitals and are licensed to provide 24-hour inpatient care
for a comprehensive set of services, including medicine, nursing, and
surgery. According to data from the California Department of Public
Health, which licenses hospitals, there are over 400 general acute care
hospitals in California. A smaller number of hospitals are licensed to
provide a narrower set of specialized services, such as psychiatric
care.
Hospitals Receive Clinical Revenues From Different
Sources. To cover the cost of providing health care
services, hospitals primarily rely on payments from health insurance
plans and public health coverage programs. As Figure 5 shows, more than
half of funding comes from Medi-Cal and Medicare, with the remainder
primarily coming from private insurance. Relative to their share of
hospital revenue, Medi-Cal and Medicare comprise a smaller share of
adjusted patient days (the number of inpatient days, adjusted also to
account for the volume of outpatient services provided). This reflects
that private insurance plans tend to pay more for services than public
programs. These statewide amounts also mask substantial variation among
hospitals. For example, some hospitals have a greater share of patients
and payments from Medi-Cal, whereas others primarily serve patients with
private insurance.

Stakeholders Recently Raised Concerns Around Financial
Health of Hospitals. During last year’s budget process,

Note: Reflects local assistance spending in the Department of Health Care Services. Excludes state operations to administer Medi‑Cal, as well as state and local spending budgeted outside of the department used to claim federal Medicaid funds.

General Fund Spending in Medi‑Cal Is Down, With Proposed Budget Solutions a Key Reason. Among Medi‑Cal’s various sources of funding, the administration projects federal funding to increase but General Fund support to decrease. Specifically, General Fund spending under the Governor’s budget is revised slightly downward in 2023‑24 to $37.3 billion and then declines to $35.9 billion in 2024‑25. While many factors impact General Fund spending in the Governor’s budget (described further in the following sections), much of the decline is because the Governor proposes several budget solutions in Medi‑Cal. (There are proposed budget solutions in other programs as well. Our recent publication, The 2024‑25 Budget: Overview of the Governor’s Budget, provides more information on the overall package of proposed budget solutions.) While some of the budget solutions impact overall spending in Medi‑Cal, others reduce General Fund spending without necessarily impacting federal funding (such as by replacing General Fund spending with other fund sources).
Current‑Year General Fund Changes
General Fund Spending Down Due to Budget Solutions. As Figure 2 shows, the Governor’s budget estimates General Fund spending in 2023‑24 would be $1 billion higher than the enacted level, absent adopting budget solutions. The Governor’s budget solutions, some of which would begin in 2023‑24, more than offset these upward revisions. (Figure 4 summarizes the Governor’s proposed budget solutions.) The net result of these changes is a slight reduction in General Fund spending.

  For Your Information

Cost Ratings​​ for Medical Groups
​​Find a better value medical group by comparing recently released Total Cost of Care star ratings alongside ratings on the Quality of Medical Care. Higher cost care does not necessarily mean higher quality care!
The latest Total Cost of Care ratings were developed by comparing medical groups’ costs during 2020. Each medical group’s average monthly costs were calculated by assessing the total actual payments made by both health plans and patients for the care provided to patients.
 
When comparing medical groups, look for medical groups that have higher Total Cost of Care ratings and higher quality ratings. More stars are better. Groups with lower average costs received a higher star rating.​

The 2024-25 Budget: Medi-Cal Analysis
Overall Spending Is Up Over Enacted Level. As Figure 1 shows, the Governor’s budget estimates overall Medi‑Cal spending to be $157 billion in 2023‑24, up from $152 billion at budget enactment. Overall spending in 2024‑25 is projected to decline slightly from the revised 2023‑24 level.

aPrimarily consists of (1) reduction in General Fund offset in the MCO tax package, before applying the MCO tax budget solution; (2) the end of a one‑time boost in support in 2023‑34 from the Hospital Quality Assurance Fee; and (3) a projected reduction of Proposition 56 funds.
bIn addition to various adjustments under current law, amount consists of two new proposals: (1) $6 million to reimburse counties for costs associated with an existing justice‑involved initiative and (2) $4.1 million for a new wellness coach benefit.

MCO = managed care organization.

 Budget Solutions Increase in Budget Year. As Figure 4 shows, the largest proposed budget solution in Medi‑Cal involves the MCO tax. This budget solution first impacts General Fund spending in 2023‑24 and ramps up in 2024‑25. The Governor also proposes several other budget solutions in Medi‑Cal, most of which are one time and impact spending in 2024‑25.
