Existing law, until January 1, 2031, requires the State Department of Health Care Services to annually reimburse the plan up to $3,000,000 per year for claim payments that exceed $70,000 made by the plan on behalf of an eligible employee or dependent for a single episode of care on or after September 1, 2016.

This bill would require the department to annually reimburse the Robert F. Kennedy Farm Workers Medical Plan up to $3,000,000 per year for claim payments that exceed $50,000 made by the plan on behalf of an eligible employee or dependent for a single episode of care.
