Nondesignated Public (District) Hospital Supplemental Fund
The Medi-Cal Hospital/Uninsured Care Demonstration Project Act also established the Nondesignated Public Hospital Supplemental Fund (Welfare and Institutions Code section 14166.17). The nondesignated public hospitals are public hospitals defined in Welfare and Institutions Code section 14105.98(a)(25), excluding designated public hospitals reimbursed on a certified public expenditure basis, who participate under SPCP. Nondesignated public hospitals are also commonly referred to as district hospitals.
For nondesignated public, or district hospitals, the Act continues the SPCP. The California Medical Assistance Commission will continue to negotiate with district hospitals for the hospital inpatient services they provide under the Medi-Cal program. To qualify for supplemental payments financed through the Nondesignated Public Hospital Supplemental Fund, district hospitals must also meet criteria in current State law for at least one of the following supplemental payment programs:
- Emergency Services and Supplemental Payment Program, or
- Medi-Cal Medical Education Supplemental Payment and Medi-Cal Large Teaching Emphasis Hospital and Children’s Hospital Medical Education Supplemental Payment Programs, or
- Small and Rural Hospital Supplemental Payment Program
For additional information regarding the above supplemental payment programs funded through the Nondesignated Public Hospital Supplemental Fund, please refer to the Private Hospital Supplemental Fund.
