CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2019–2020 REGULAR SESSION

Senate Bill
No. 612


Introduced by Senator Pan

February 22, 2019


An act to add Section 1348.7 to the Health and Safety Code, and to add Section 10125.5 to the Insurance Code, relating to health care.


LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


SB 612, as introduced, Pan. Health care: data reporting.
Existing law, the Knox-Keene Health Care Service Plan Act of 1975, provides for the licensure and regulation of health care service plans by the Department of Managed Health Care, and makes a willful violation of the act a crime. Existing law provides for the regulation of health insurers by the Department of Insurance. Existing law establishes the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD) in the California Health and Human Services Agency to regulate health planning and research development.
This bill would require a health care service plan, health insurer, and medical group to report specified information to OSHPD on or before January 1, 2021, and on or before January 1 annually thereafter, on its participation in collaboratives and activities, including a program in which an enrollee or insured receives comprehensive transitional care or the supportive and therapeutic needs of an enrollee or insured are addressed in a holistic fashion. The bill would require OSHPD to compile and publish, on or before April 1, 2021, and on or before April 1 annually thereafter, the aggregate information received, organized by health care service plan, health insurer, and medical group, on its internet website. Because a willful violation of the bill’s requirements relative to health care service plans would be a crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: NO   Fiscal Committee: YES   Local Program: YES  

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
