10 CA Public Hospital Systems California s Public Hospitals and Health Systems (PHs) 21 PHs including county-owned and operated facilities (16) and University of California medical centers (5) account for 6% of California hospitals Serve more than 2.85 M patients annually and provide 10.5 M outpatient visits at more than 200 clinic facilities Provide 35% of all hospital care to Medi-Cal beneficiaries Provide 34% of all hospital care to the remaining uninsured From 7/13 7/14, CA PHs provided $225 M in uncompensated care services Located in 15 counties where 80% of the state s population reside 10

11 CA Public Hospital Systems California PH Funding for Medicaid enrollees For state fiscal year , approximately 17% of the non-federal share of Medicaid reimbursements to PHs was funded by state general fund match and the other 83% came from local matching sources (certified public expenditures (CPEs) and intergovernmental transfer IGTs) PH Net Patient Revenue Total Med-Cal Revenue Revenue excludes local funding sources (CPEs and IGTs) Source: California Department of Health Care Services, Evaluation of Uncompensated Care Financing for California Designated Public Hospitals, Navigant, May 15, 2016, Medi-Cal Revenue as % of Total Revenue $13.7 B $7.5 B 55% 11

12 CA Public Hospital Systems California PHs and the Affordable Care Act More than 560,000 people served by PHs gained Medi-Cal coverage through the ACA Because the ACA reduced the number of uninsured, the ACA significantly reduced Disproportionate Share Hospital funding Additional federal DSH funding reductions scheduled and pending According to the California Association for Public Hospitals and Health Systems, a repeal of the federal Medicaid adult expansion results in PHs losing $2.2 billion in revenue each year 12

13 Safety Net Funding Private hospitals are the safety net in many communities, especially in rural and remote areas Mission oriented, and/or Lack of public hospitals in the community Eligible and may receive DSH funding if serve a high number of Medi-Cal patients 13

14 Future of Medi-Cal and the Safety Net Safety net providers will continue to participate in and rely on Medi-Cal for patients and revenue Medi-Cal represents more than half of the funding for the safety net (66% for CCHCs) Safety net hospitals in Medicaid expansion states like California had twice the level of uncompensated care in 2015 than other hospitals Federal Medicaid and safety net funding will continue to be vulnerable Federal budget deliberations Medicaid reform proposals (presumptive eligibility, per-capita cap) Supplemental funding (DSH, 330 Grants) 14

15 Future Safety Net Risks DSH Program ACA anticipated phased cuts in DSH funding Delayed for but now under consideration California could be disadvantaged because of Medi-Cal expansion and lower number of uninsured (7.1%) Health Center 330 Grants ACA created a trust fund for 330 federal grants to health centers with new funding The Trust Fund extended through September 30 Trust Fund equivalent to 20% of current health center funding ($3.6 billion) 2,800 health centers nationwide could close 15
