2-35.1.000. Intent.

Partnership HealthPlan of California Commission (“Commission”) is a multi-county commission that has created a Medi-Cal managed health care plan for Medi-Cal recipients. The purpose of this chapter is to authorize the county of Colusa to join the existing Commission. This chapter allows the implementation of a county organized health system in Colusa County, as authorized by Welfare and Institutions Code Section 14087.54.

The Commission has a proven record of improving health care access to its members, who are Medi-Cal recipients, and improving Medi-Cal reimbursement rates to health care providers. The commission links each member with a primary care provider and has been successful in reducing inappropriate use of emergency rooms, providing appropriate levels of inpatient care for its members, developing innovative case management programs and arranging for the provision of an enhanced level of local health care services.

The Commission negotiated a contract with the California Department of Health Care Services, as specified in Welfare and Institutions Code Section 14087.5, to arrange for the provision of health care services provided under Welfare and Institutions Code Chapter 7, Part 3, Division 9. The Commission is authorized to negotiate a contract with the California Department of Health Care Services to expand the Commission into the County of Colusa.

This regulation and Appendix A, designating Colusa County officials and employees required to file FPPC Form 700 Statement of Economic Interest disclosure forms in addition to the mandatory statutory filing employees and officials pursuant to Government Code Section 87200, and Appendix B, establishing disclosure categories, shall constitute the conflict of interest code for the county of Colusa.

(c) Designated employees and officials shall file statements of economic interest with the county of Colusa county clerk, by April 1st of each year on the form which can be obtained from the office of the county clerk. The county clerk agency shall make all statements available for public inspection and reproduction pursuant to Government Code Section 81008.

(d) Upon the hiring of a new employee and as well as upon the termination of employment for every employee whose position is listed in Appendix A, the county payroll department shall advise the office of the county clerk on a form to be provided by the county clerk of the dates of new hire or termination. Based thereon, the office of the county clerk shall provide information to such employees concerning reporting requirements under this Code.

(e) In the event that the office of the county clerk determines a failure to comply with this reporting requirement has occurred, notice shall be given to the appropriate employee/officer/official. If compliance with the filing does not occur after notice has been given within the time specified in the notice, the county clerk shall report to the board of supervisors the failure to comply. Thereafter, the county clerk shall levy a fine for any statement that is filed late, in the amount of ten dollars per day up to a maximum of one hundred dollars (see Government Code Section 91013). In addition, the county clerk shall report to the board of supervisors any failure to comply on the part of employees/officials subject to the FPPC enforcement division for investigation and possible prosecution.
