AGENDA CHANGES AND DELETIONS
None
NEW BUSINESS
CEO’s Health Plan Update
Presenter: Liz Gibboney, CEO
Ms. Liz Gibboney provided various PHC and Federal/State level updates.
New HHS Secretary: The governor’s office announced the new HHS Secretary, Dr. Mark Ghaly, from Southern California. He is from the county-world, public health perspective and managed care.
Another announcement is from the State auditors that released a report on pediatric services (EPSDT) that created quite a bit of stir in Sacramento due to the recommendations to the legislation. This includes low reimbursement rates for child services and unrealistic enrollment rates. Also recommended greater oversight by the Department, and implement statewide pay-for-performance (PPF), and greater requirements on all HEDIS measures.
Action: Information only
Finance Committee Packet, 041719: Page 2 of 64
In response, Ms. Gibboney stated that they would be issuing sanctions. PHC is currently under a corrective action plan (CAP) related to HEDIS measures in the Northern Region. Ms. Gibboney went on to explain that most plans would be under a CAP with the newly proposed benchmark of a national 50th percentile.
This new administration is more focused on healthcare, as compared to the previous State administration. There will be greater scrutiny from DHCS including revisiting QIP, moving reimbursement from capitation to fee-for-service, and more closely monitoring encounter data submissions.
Per Ms. Gibboney, there would likely be other committees like Quality Advisory Committee (QAC), but the fiscal parameters would come through Finance Committee. She explained it’s a bit early for implementation.
Ms. Patti McFarland stated that the new administration has a love/hate relationship in regards to capitation. They like to focus on quality and oversight, and also want to save money at the same time. PHC is doing well on the encounter data, except for the rural northern region, and it will take a while to move the dial as the region is new to managed care.
Ms. Gibboney stated that the State is looking to have greater strings attached to the Prop 56 program, and developing value-based purchasing measures with additional measures attached.
Ms. Gibboney explained the Governor’s executive order proposing the removal of the pharmacy benefit from managed care. Health Centers are lobbying due to the potential loss of hundreds of millions in revenue, which has yet to be addressed. PHC is working with sister plans to advocate for the continued administering of the program, but there is a tough fight ahead.
In response, Ms. Gibboney said that Assemblyman Wood is aware and will be meeting with him soon.
In Lieu of Services: Ms. Gibboney stated that PHC is working on getting paid for services that are not part of a Medi-Cal covered benefit. These services, like respite care, are good alternatives to discharge members from high cost hospital stays. There is both commercial and public interest in the idea. PHC will
Ms. Powell asked what is the penalty to the healthplans?
Ms. Nancy Stark asked which PHC Committee would be reviewing a move to fee-for-service?
Mr. Hempling made a comment that it seemed like moving backwards, with the fee-for-service, and would reduce the reimbursement.
Ms. Starck asked if our local state representatives are aware.
Finance Committee Packet, 041719: Page 3 of 64
continue to work with sister plans and use it’s lobbyist to gain traction.
Board Strategic Planning Retreat: There was great feedback from the last retreat and PHC is planning for the next one. More info to come.
NCQA Accreditation & HEDIS: NCQA/HEDIS is on track for survey, HEDIS is taking on new pressure with the aforementioned. More discussions to come.
In response, Ms. Gibboney said that we are part of LHPC, where we do a lot of collaborative work together, advocacy, and sharing of concerns. We also met with Jennifer Kent (former Executive Director of DHCS).
Ms. Gibboney replied that we do have lobbyists.
Mr. Richard Fogg asked what is PHC doing with other associations.
Mr. Fogg also asked if we have our own lobbyist.
Progress Report – New Building Expenditures
Presenter: Patti McFarland, CFO
New Building: Ms. McFarland mentioned that the general contractor, after being cleared by his doctors due to health issues, is onsite doing the tour of the new building. Soundproofing panels are being installed on the first floor. There are some door closure issues that creates negative pressure. Overall things are going well at the new building.
Action: Information only
Mr. Jones asked if there were any questions.
No questions.
Wellness & Recovery Program Update
Presenter: Margaret Kisliuk
Wellness & Recovery Program: PHC met with the State on March 8th, and had signed off on the fiscal model based on Humboldt County, and the Plan will work on the rest of the counties for the remainder of the fiscal year.
The State also agreed that the Counties will delegate to PHC. DHCS has a hefty agreement with each County and then each County will further delegate to PHC. More to come as the details become available.
There has been trainings on substance abuse that also covered the types of drugs being used, mental health and addiction. Another training coming soon is on integration

care, that according to Dr. Jeff DeVido (Behavioral Health Clinical Director), has long standing issues, like how to treat eating disorders with disproportionate treatments, or autism benefits which continue to be a challenge. We are also looking for other guidelines for other treatments, like alcoholism.
There is a lot going on, on top of how to serve the new programs as mandated by the State.
Mr. Jones asked if there were any questions.
No questions.
Long-Term Care (LTC) Reimbursement Changes
Presenter: Liz Gibboney
This request approved changing several aspects of how PHC reimburses LTC facilities:
Ms. Gibboney explained this request rescinds the “hold harmless” rate change policy and moves the standard 2% rate increase into the existing 2% QIP fund, creating a new target of 4%.
Ms. McFarland stated that PHC will still budget the 4% and use the QIP; however, PHC will not see the expense until August 2020. Ms. Gibboney clarified that the QIP is for the free standing facilities and not for hospital related facilities.
In response, Ms. McFarland stated that about 15-20 facilities will be impacted. We want them to earn the increases as part of the QIP. PHC does not have the luxury to continue with current LTC reimbursement system. PHC is currently engaged in contract negotiations.
Decision: Mr. Fogg moved to approve, and Mr. Hempling seconded the motion.
All voted yes, to approve.
Mr. Hempling asked how many facilities will be impacted.
Intergovernmental Transfer Program (IGT) Plan/Provider Agreement Modification
Presenter: Liz Gibboney
This request approves modifying PHC’s I.G.T. Plan and Provider Agreement
Ms. Gibboney started that, historically, PHC would come to the commission for approval on I.G.T. changes. This request is to allow PHC to charge the participating entities 10% in administration fees. In looking at other healthplans, the rate varied widely to as much as 30%. This new modification will provide more revenue that can be used to cover some other healthcare programs. This resolution would also delegate signing authority to the CEO on future agreements as long as there is no material impact to the organization.
Ms. McFarland stated that PHC currently has about 40 IGTs in comparison to other healthplans that may have only about 10.
Decision: Mr. Fogg moved to approve, seconded by Ms. Powell.
All voted in favor, but Ms. Starck abstained.
Mr. Hempling requested that the commission be notified on how much PHC is charging.
Finance Committee Packet, 041719: Page 5 of 64
Approve January 2019 Metrics and Financials
Presenter: Patti McFarland, CFO
Ms. McFarland stated that PHC has been renewing the contracts with hospitals, with the effective dates being later than the budget anticipated, with expenses expect to taper-off around May. MedImpact, if negotiated, will be potentially save roughly $1 million a quarter.
For the month ending January 31, 2019, PHC reported a deficit of $7.0 million, bringing the year-to-date deficit to $52.8 million.
Revenue January’s State Capitation Revenue of $228.0 million increased by $4.4 million in comparison to the prior month. The additional revenue is associated with the WCM/CCS program which went live January 1, 2019. The new revenue is partially offset by a BHT true-up tied to a sub-capitation arrangement, which is offset in the healthcare expenses.
Healthcare Costs Total Healthcare Costs are lower than budget by $12.3 million for the month. For the year-to-date, Total Healthcare Costs remain above budget by $26.6 million.
Administrative Costs Total administrative costs are under budget by $2.2 million for the month and $14.3 million year-to-date. This is primarily due to the method in which the budget is recorded. The positive variance in Employee Costs continues to be from open positions, which are expected to be filled later in the year. The positive variance in Occupancy Costs are from lower depreciation costs, as budgeted capital items have yet to be purchased
Membership Membership decreased by 1,209 members during the month. Medi-Cal Rate Regions 1 and 2 had net decreases of 565 members and 644 members, respectively.
Decision: Mr. Jones asked if there were any question.
No additional questions.
Mr. Hempling move to approve the January 2019 financials. Seconded by Mr. Fogg.
All voted in favor to approve the financials.

Ordinance No. 15-14, and Trinity County Ordinance No. 1329 pursuant to the
authority for such creation conferred by California Welfare and Institutions Code

the enabling ordinances established by the respective counties.

Section 2.2 County Selected Appointments and Qualifications. Each
member of the Commission shall be appointed by a majority vote of the Board
according to the ordinance adopted by each County Board, and shall be subject to

Commented [MB7]: This passage states what constitutes a quorum – majority of the members. Disqualification from Voting is dealt with in Section 4.10. If this Section is left as is, it leads to uncertainty if a quorum can be declared at the beginning of any Board meeting as the roll call would have to be taken and then subtracting roll by projecting possible conflicts of interest of potentially disqualified Board members. Some conflicts of interests are unknowable until a topic is fully elucidated. Therefore, to remove this uncertainty, it is recommended to remove this verbiage.

2019‐20 Budget Assumptions
April 2019
Introduction
Each year, starting in January, PHC begins building the annual health plan budget for Board review and
approval in June. As part of this process, PHC presents to the Finance Committee and the Board key
components of the budget development for review and approval. Specifically, in April, draft Budget
Assumptions are presented to the Finance Committee and Board, followed by the draft budget in May. In
June, the final budget—including previously reviewed component parts and a fully developed
Administrative Budget—are presented to the Board for final review and approval. This document outlines
the Plan’s draft budget assumptions that inform PHC’s revenue and cost projections as impacted by
estimated changes in enrollment, health care costs, administrative costs, as well as disposition of
incentive arrangements and reserves.
Outlook for 2019‐20
As the Plan prepares for the upcoming 2019‐20 fiscal year, PHC continues to implement major initiatives
while being faced with some uncertainties at the State and Federal levels that could impact plan
operations. PHC is closely monitoring these activities and will update our budget accordingly.
PHC expects base program revenues to continue to be leaner than in prior years. With a strong economy
and low unemployment, the Medi‐Cal program is experiencing State‐wide reductions in enrollment. PHC
is eagerly awaiting premium rates from the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) — to be provided
in late April or early May—to thoroughly support revenue projections. Meanwhile, PHC continues to
implement major elements of new federal Medicaid managed care rules, new benefits required by the
State which includes expanded non‐medical transportation, Whole Child Model program, and also
continue to pursue NCQA accreditation.
Enrollment
The Plan continues to experience membership losses, consistent with statewide trends, due to a number
of factors, including a generally strong economy. PHC anticipates a continued reduction in overall
membership. PHC continues to hear anecdotally of individuals who may have undocumented family
members avoiding government agencies that may be impacting membership as a result of federal
immigration related actions. PHC is generally using average monthly membership trends over the past six
to fifteen months to inform enrollment projections for 2019‐20. The Plan ended FY 2017‐18 with 562,998
members, which has further dropped to 553,164 as of January 2019. This is a decrease of 1.75%, with a
larger portion of the losses coming in more recent months. The membership decreases have been largely
Finance Committee Packet, 041719: Page 41 of 64
2
felt within MCE, Child, and Adult aid categories, in that order. Based on these trends, PHC is considering a
targeted membership loss from June 2019 to June 2020 of roughly 1.3% ‐ 2.6%. Actual retro eligibility
development for months January 2019 ‐ April 2019 will ultimately inform the Plan’s target.
PHC will continue to monitor membership over the next couple of months before fully finalizing
enrollment projections for the budget.
Revenue
Draft base rates from DHCS are expected in late April or early May 2019, which will be incorporated in the
final budget. Major anticipated revenue impacts are noted below:
Medi‐Cal Rates: As mentioned above, PHC has not yet received the draft rates for FY 2019‐20.
The initial draft of the budget assumes a total revenue increase of 3.2%. This assumes DHCS will
hold the MCE rates flat and does not account for the risk of a rate cut consistent with the prior
year. Between 2017‐18 and 2018‐19, DHCS reduced the MCE rate by roughly $77 million.
Whole Child Model: Effective January 1, 2019, PHC became responsible for the CCS
administrative functions to provide comprehensive treatment of the whole child and care
coordination for CCS‐eligible and non‐CCS‐eligible conditions. PHC has received draft rates from
the State to support this program and they appear reasonable at this time. However, PHC
continues to work with the State regarding program implementation details and related
potential revenue impacts.
Interest Income: During the March 2019 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) policy
meeting, Fed Chair Jerome Powell stated policymakers will let data inform the next steps on
monetary policy. They decided to take a ‘wait and see’ approach and did not raise the federal
funds target rate which range is currently at 2.25% to 2.50%. Market analysts are predicting one
to no increases for the remainder of 2019 while for 2020 there is discussion of a possible rate
decrease. While there is not a direct correlation between the federal funds rate and the interest
rate earned on deposits or investments held, the overall yield tends to follow a similar direction.
The Plan will assume an annual rate of return of 1.0%, comparable to current computed yields.
PHC will revise the rate accordingly based on any future actions taken from the Fed’s.
Rental Income: Currently, PHC leases space to 11 tenants in Fairfield and one tenant in Redding.
Tenants are currently being sought for previously leased vacant space while the buildout and use
of the third floor in the newest building will be completed based on company needs. Rental
income will be estimated based on existing and anticipated lease agreements. For anticipated
leases, rental income will be projected using lease rates that are approximately 90% of current
market rates. Building maintenance costs associated with the leased space will be included in
administrative costs.
Finance Committee Packet, 041719: Page 42 of 64

Healthcare Costs
Healthcare cost projections for fiscal year 2019‐20 will be based on the Plan’s historical claims experience
for all counties. PHC cost experience from January 2017 through October 2018 will serve as the base data
for budget development. Completion factors will be incorporated where appropriate to account for
incurred but not yet reported claims. PHC is closely monitoring healthcare costs in the context of
continued decreasing membership and adjusting our budget methodology accordingly to better track how
changes in membership relate to these costs.
The base period costs will be adjusted for:
Changes in provider contracting, either through new payment amendments or ongoing and/or
anticipated negotiations.
Reasonable assumptions regarding underlying utilization trends based on internal analysis and a
review of DHCS trends used in developing Plan capitation rates.
Effects of changes in current case management, utilization management, and specific disease
management programs from year to year, or newly developed or planned programs. Specific
programs such as Complex Case Management are monitored on an annual basis to ensure a
continuous positive return on investment.
Expense impacts related to operational improvements or efficiency gains, inclusive of
configuration changes impacting historical trends.
Other material anticipated benefit, price, and enrollment related changes.
Approved elements of the Strategic Use of Reserve (SUR). Major approved and anticipated
forthcoming SURs include:
o Housing
o Redirection of funds from discontinuation of Medicare copays and deductibles
o Drug Medi‐Cal program implementation
Incentive Arrangements
PHC anticipates maintaining the same overall levels of funding for all five major incentive programs
subject to final revenue projections when rates from DHCS are received. Notably, effective January 1,
2018, the Primary Care Provider Quality Improvement Program (QIP) was restructured away from a fixed
pool program to support better alignment with high level provider performance. The measurement
period was also changed from fiscal to calendar year to align with HEDIS. As a result, there is some
budgetary risk involved in estimating the exact overall payment level, which is dependent on the actual
performance of participating providers. Effective for dates of service beginning August 1, 2019, PHC will
conclude the 2% annual rate increase to all LTC facilities. The funding will be transferred to the LTC QIP,
thereby increasing the total incentive program to 4% for participating entities. This effort ties the
additional funding to better outcomes.

Administrative Costs
Staff: During the fiscal year 2018‐19 budget development, staffing changes resulted in a net
increase year over year to meet program changes related Whole Child Model, NCQA, and new
federal rule administrative requirements. For fiscal year 2019‐20 staffing changes will be
primarily related to plan program changes as well as infrastructure needs, including those related
to the implementation of the new core system. As with prior years, a vacancy rate will be
determined based on historical trends. Staffing changes are currently being reviewed and final
numbers are to be determined.
Benefits: PHC is currently researching employer benefit trends and will present the expected
percentage change for employee medical, dental and vision benefits during the May review. Any
benefit changes recommended and approved by the personnel committee will also be
incorporated into the budget. No new benefits are anticipated at this time.
Salaries: Based on the projected employment outlook by the Department of Labor and the FOMC
the unemployment rate is expected to remain low through calendar year 2019. Accordingly and
as with prior year, there are continued indications that there will be competition to recruit and
retain a talented workforce. According to the January 2019 Economic News Release from the
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Bay Area employment cost index (ECI) for the 12 months
ending December 2018 is 3.8 percent. Given the ECI and in keeping with the market, PHC will
continue to assume an average four percent merit increase. PHC does not separately adjust
salaries for COLA and merit.
Capital: New capital purchase recommendations, primarily related to IT needs and general
building repairs and maintenance will be included on the final detailed Capital Expenditures
Budget list. Capital items previously approved and in progress or not yet purchased will be
carried forward as in the past. Depreciation will be calculated based on anticipated purchase
dates or completion dates for those items that are construction in progress along with existing
capital assets.
Reserves
Board designated reserves are calculated according to policy (60 days of operating expenses, $15 million
for infrastructure and an additional amount set aside for the Strategic use of Reserves (SUR)‐already
approved, but not yet incurred). In the past years, the Health Plan benefited from the increase in
revenues related to new MCE members. That benefit resulted in a higher fund balance and robust
reserves. PHC, through Board approval, created the SUR initiatives and was able to utilize a substantial
amount of reserves in a manner that increased member access, increased provider reimbursement and
improved overall operational efficiency. However, in fiscal year 2018‐19 with less than expected rate
increases from the State and higher than anticipated costs in health care, particularly pharmacy costs,
Finance Committee Packet, 041719: Page 44 of 64

fiscal losses have diminished the excess reserves. The total fund balance, including the final SUR amount
and the projected Board designated amount for the year ending June 30, 2020 will be presented with the
final budget.

Financial Analysis for the Current Period
Total (Deficit) Surplus
For the month ending February 28, 2019, PHC reported a deficit of $11.9 million, bringing the year-to-date
deficit to $64.7 million. Significant variances are explained below.
Revenue
February’s State Capitation Revenue of $234.1 million increased by $6.1 million in comparison to the prior
month. The month-to-month increase is attributable to the BHT adjustment made in January ’19 and a
timing difference for Indian Health Services revenue in the current month.
Healthcare Costs
Total Healthcare Costs are higher than budget by $10.8 million for the month. For the year-to-date, Total
Healthcare Costs are above budget by $37.4 million. Notable variances are as follows:
Global Sub-capitation is unfavorable to budget $1.5 million for the month of February primarily due to an
adjustment related to prior year Hep C expenses and timing of current month BHT expenses.
Non-Capitated Physician Services is unfavorable to budget $1.5 million for the month and unfavorable $7.2
million year-to-date. The variances are primarily attributable to higher incurred expenses than anticipated.
Inpatient Hospital has an unfavorable year-to-date variance of roughly $12.7 million or 3.18%. Partnership
is actively engaged in contract negotiations with various network hospitals in addition to closely monitoring
expense development.
Pharmacy had a favorable to budget month of $413,229 due to timing of rebates, but remains unfavorable
year-to-date with a variance of $11.6 million, attributable to higher than anticipated utilization along with
increased costs related to the new MedImpact contract. As noted in the prior months, an audit of MedImpact
remains ongoing.
Capitated Ancillary Services has a year-to-date favorable variance of $1.2 million which is attributable to
favorable contract development related to vision services. Staff expects the favorability to continue
throughout the remaining fiscal year which will help offset the unfavorable fee-for-service, non-capitated,
ancillary expenses.
The Transportation expense within Other Medical remains over budget on both a month and year-to-date
basis. Partnership is engaged in contract negotiations with transportation vendors, actively working to reduce
future unfavorable variance development.
Administrative Costs
Total administrative costs are under budget by $1.2 million for the month and $15.5 million for the year-
to-date. The larger year-to-date variances are in Employee Costs, which are due to the open positions that
have been budgeted for but not yet filled. Several of the open positions are designated for the Whole Child
Model (WCM) program that became effective for the PHC January 1, 2019. As the program is in its early
Finance Committee Packet, 041719: Page 46 of 64
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS Of The Partnership HealthPlan Of California For the Period Ending February 28, 2019
stages of implementation, the determination of the timing of filling those open positions is being reviewed.
Occupancy Costs also contribute to the large year-to-date variance as several budgeted capital items have
yet to be purchased and may not be purchased by the time the fiscal year ends; this results in lower than
budgeted depreciation costs. Several of the projects are going through the contract process and it is likely
that their costs will be carried into the next budget year.
Balance Sheet
The Strategic Use of Reserve balance decreased slightly by $413,068 for the month with activity primarily
in Prenatal Care, Provider Recruitment, the Local Innovation Fund, and the Member Portal; this brings the
total SUR balance to $66.1 million. In order to not understate the balance for uncompleted SURs, the SUR
amounts that have exceeded their original budget have been excluded in calculating the ending balance. See
reconciliation of the unspent SUR to date on the Strategic Use of Reserves Update schedule.
General Statistics
Membership
Membership decreased by 891 members during the month. Medi-Cal Rate Regions 1 and 2 had net decreases
of 497 members and 394 members, respectively.
Utilization Metrics and High Dollar Case
For the fiscal year 2018/19 through February 28, 2019, 125 members reached the $250,000 threshold
with an average cost of $451,561. For fiscal year 2017/18, the number of members reached 458, and
the average cost per case was $417,629. For fiscal year 2016/17, 385 members reached the $250,000
threshold with an average claims cost of $417,608.

1. ORGANIZATION
The Partnership HealthPlan of California (PHC) was formed as a health insurance organization,and is legally a subdivision of the State of California, but is not part of any city, county or stategovernment system. PHC has quasi-independent political jurisdiction to contract with the Statefor managing Medi-Cal beneficiaries who reside in various Northern California Counties. PHC isa combined public and private effort engaged principally in providing a more cost-effectivemethod of health care. PHC began serving Medi-Cal eligible persons in Solano in May 1994. Thatwas followed by Napa in March of 1998, Yolo in March of 2001, Sonoma in October 2009, Marinand Mendocino in July 2011, and eight Northern Counties in September 2013. Beginning July2018 and in accordance with direction from the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), PHChas consolidated its reporting from these fourteen counties into two regions; these are in alignmentwith the two DHCS rating regions.
As a public agency, the HealthPlan is exempt from state and federal income tax.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ACCOUNTING POLICIES:The accounting and reporting policies of PHC conform to generally-accepted accountingprinciples and general practices within the healthcare industry.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:Effective July 2015, property and equipment totaling $10,000 or more are recorded at cost; thisincludes assets acquired through capital leases and improvements that significantly add to theproductive capacity or extend the useful life of the asset. Costs of maintenance and repairs areexpensed as incurred. Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided on a straight-linemethod over the estimated useful life of the asset. The costs of major remodeling andimprovements are capitalized as building or leasehold improvements. Leasehold improvementsare amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the remaining term of theapplicable lease or their estimated useful life. Building improvements are depreciated over theirestimated useful life. Buildings purchased are recorded at cost and are depreciated on the straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.
INVESTMENTS:PHC investments can consist of U.S. Treasury Securities, Agency Notes, Repurchase Agreements,Shares of Beneficial Interest and Commercial Paper and are carried at fair value.
BOARD-DESIGNATED & KNOX KEENE RESERVES:In April 2004, PHC’s Board established a policy to set aside in a reserve account a designated
Finance Committee Packet, 041719: Page 59 of 64
PARTNERSHIP HEALTHPLAN OF CALIFORNIA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
February 28, 2019
Page 2 of 3
amount that represents the Knox-Keene Tangible Net Equity (TNE) requirement. This policy was subsequently revised in May 2012 and beginning July 2012, the new methodology has been reflected on the balance sheet. Based on this policy and as of As of February 2019, PHC has Board-Designated and Knox-Keene Reserves of $473.6 million and $0.3 million respectively. To account for the Board approved Strategic Use Of Reserves (SUR) initiatives, $66.1 million has been set aside as a “Reserve Fund-Strategic Use of Reserve.” The amount represents the net amount remaining of all of the SUR projects that have been approved to date; this balance is periodically adjusted as projects are completed.
3. STATE CAPITATION REVENUE
Medi-Cal capitation revenue is based on the monthly capitation rates, as provided for in the State contract, and the actual number of Medi-Cal eligible members. Capitation revenues are paid by the State on a monthly basis in arrears based on estimated membership. Prior to January 2010, enrollment was subject to retrospective adjustments by the State upon completion of the 6th and 12th months following the month of service. Effective January 2010, the retrospective adjustments have been replaced with monthly reconciliations with the State. As such, capitation revenue includes an estimate for amounts receivable from or refundable to State for these retrospective adjustments. These estimates are continually monitored and adjusted, as necessary, as experience develops or new information becomes known.
Effective with the enrollment of the Adult Expansion Population per ACA in January 2014 the HealthPlan was subject to State requirements to meet a minimum 85% medical loss ratio (MLR) for this population. Specifically, the HealthPlan was required to expend at least 85% of the Medi-Cal capitation revenue received for this population on allowable medical expenses as defined by the State. In the event the HealthPlan expended less than the 85% requirement, the Health Plan would be required to return to the State the difference between the minimum threshold and the actual allowed medical expenses. This difference was recorded as a reduction to Medi-Cal capitation revenue and the related liability was recorded in State DHS – Cap Payable. As of February 2019, the remaining amount due to the State is $6.6 million.
Effective with California SB 78 and beginning July 2012, the health plans were required to pay a gross premium tax on Medi-Cal Revenue. The rate in effect from July 2012 to June 2013 would remain at 2.35% and beginning July 2013, the tax rate increased to 3.94% and expired in June 2016. Effective July 2016, SB X2-2 revised the MCO Tax, which is implemented by DHCS. The tax is calculated by DHCS and is based on projected membership. Projected tax for fiscal year 2018/19 is $134.4 million.
4. HEALTH CARE COST
PHC continues to develop completion factors to calculate estimated liability for claims incurred
Finance Committee Packet, 041719: Page 60 of 64
PARTNERSHIP HEALTHPLAN OF CALIFORNIA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
February 28, 2019
Page 3 of 3
but not reported. These factors are reviewed and adjusted as more historical data become available. Budgeted capitation revenues and health care costs are adjusted each month to reflect changes in enrollee counts.
5. QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
PHC maintains quality incentive contracts with acute care hospitals and primary care physicians.As of February 2019, PHC has accrued a Quality Incentive Program payout for Fiscal Years2017/2018 and 2018/2019 of $23.7 million and $48.5 million respectively.
6. ESTIMATES
Due to the nature of the operations of the Partnership HealthPlan, it is necessary to estimateamounts for financial statement presentation. Substantial overstatement or understatement of theseestimates would have a significant impact on the statements. The items estimated through variousmethodologies are:- Value of Claims Incurred But Not Received- Quality Incentive Payouts- Earned Capitation Revenues- Total Number of Members- Retro Capitation Expense for Certain Providers
7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the ordinary course of business, the HealthPlan is party to claims and legal actions by enrollees,providers, and others. After consulting with legal counsel, HealthPlan management is of theopinion any liability that may ultimately be incurred as a result of claims or legal actions will nothave a material effect on the financial position or results of the operations of the HealthPlan.
