Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, contracts with plans which are entered into, renewed, or amended pursuant to this article may include one or more of the following:
(1) A provision to the effect that if the rate for a plan is less than 90 percent of the estimated Medi-Cal fee-for-service cost, the plan’s rate shall be increased by one-half the difference between the rate fixed and 90 percent of the estimated fee-for-service cost. The rate shall not, however, be less than 85 percent of the estimated fee-for-service costs.
(2) Guaranteed capitation payments for Medi-Cal beneficiaries, who are entitled to benefits under Title IV of the Social Security Act, for a period of six months or less, even if the eligibility for benefits of such beneficiaries terminates prior to the end of the guaranteed payment period. Each guaranteed payment period shall be calculated beginning on the date a beneficiary’s enrollment takes effect.
(3) Benefits in addition to those listed under Section 14132, as long as the provision of such additional services permits plans to remain more cost effective than fee-for-service reimbursement.
