Bill overview
This bill expands Medi-Cal payments to district and municipal public hospitals (DMPHs) – hospitals that aren't already designated under Medi-Cal – to recognize the costs associated with graduate medical education (GME). It establishes a special fund to support these payments, relying on voluntary transfers from the hospitals themselves. The bill requires the Department of Health Care Services to seek federal approval for these payments and allows for flexibility in how they are structured to maximize federal funding.
