Existing law provides for the Medi-Cal program, which is administered by the State Department of Health Care Services, under which qualified low-income individuals receive health care services. The Medi-Cal program is, in part, governed and funded by federal Medicaid Program provisions. Existing law permits the department to make unannounced visits to an applicant or to a provider for the purpose of determining whether enrollment, continued enrollment, or certification as a provider is warranted, or as necessary for the administration of the Medi-Cal program. Existing law further requires that a provider be subject to temporary suspension from the Medi-Cal program, which includes temporary deactivation of the provider's number, for failure to remediate significant discrepancies in information that he or she provided to the department or for failure to remediate significant discrepancies that are discovered as a result of an announced or unannounced visit to the provider, as specified. Existing law requires the provider to be notified, in writing, of the temporary suspension and deactivation of provider numbers. This bill would require that notice of temporary suspension to contain a list of discrepancies to be remediated and the timeframe in which the provider needs to remediate those discrepancies, which must be at least 60 days from the date the notice of temporary suspension is issued. The bill would require the department to lift a temporary suspension and notify a provider that the temporary suspension has been lifted and that he or she is eligible to receive reimbursement for Medi-Cal services provided after the date the temporary suspension was lifted if the provider has demonstrated that the identified discrepancies have been remediated within the applicable timeframe. The bill would require the department to send a notice to a provider who fails to remediate the identified discrepancies in the applicable timeframe stating that he or she will be removed from enrollment as a provider in the Medi-Cal program by operation of law based on failure to remediate the identified discrepancies.
