(a) Any contract made pursuant to this article may be renewed if the provider continues to meet the requirements of this chapter, regulations promulgated pursuant thereto, and the contract. Failure to meet these requirements shall be cause for nonrenewal of the contract. The department may condition renewal on timely completion of a mutually agreed upon plan of correction of any deficiencies.
(b) The department may terminate or decline to renew a contract, in whole or in part, when the director determines that such action is necessary to protect the health of the beneficiaries or the funds appropriated to carry out the Medi-Cal program. Nonrenewal or termination under this article shall not qualify the applicant for an administrative hearing including a hearing pursuant to Section 14123.
(c) In order to achieve maximum cost savings the Legislature hereby determines that an expedited contract process for contracts under this article is necessary. Therefore contracts under this article shall be exempt from the provisions of Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 10290) of Part 2 of Division 2 of the Public Contract Code.
(d) For any contract entered into pursuant to this article, the Director of the Department of Managed Health Care shall, at the director’s request and with all due haste, grant an exemption from the provisions of Chapter 2.2 (commencing with Section 1340) of Division 2 of the Health and Safety Code for purposes of carrying out the contract.
(Amended by Stats. 2000, Ch. 857, Sec. 85. Effective January 1, 2001.)
