(a) Negotiated net amounts may be used as the cost of services in contracts between the county and a subprovider of services. A negotiated net amount shall be determined by calculating the total budget for services for a program or a component of a program, less the amount of projected revenue. All participating government funding sources, except for the Medi-Cal program (Chapter 7 (commencing with Section 14000) of Part 3 of Division 9), shall be bound to that amount as the cost of providing all or part of the total county mental health program as described in the county performance contract for each fiscal year, to the extent that the governmental funding source participates in funding the county mental health programs. Where the State Department of Health Care Services promulgates regulations for determining reimbursement of mental health services allowable under the Medi-Cal program, those regulations shall be controlling as to the rates for reimbursement of mental health services allowable under the Medi-Cal program and rendered to Medi-Cal beneficiaries. Providers under this subdivision shall report to the State Department of Health Care Services and local mental health programs any information required by the State Department of Health Care Services in accordance with procedures established by the Director of Health Care Services.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this division or Division 9 (commencing with Section 10000), absent a finding of fraud, abuse, or failure to achieve contract objectives, no restrictions, other than any contained in the contract, shall be placed upon a provider’s expenditure pursuant to this section.
(Amended by Stats. 2012, Ch. 34, Sec. 141. (SB 1009) Effective June 27, 2012.)
