2007 California Welfare and Institutions Code Article 5.3. Provision Of Medical Care By Nonplan Providers To Enrollees Of Prepaid Health Plans

CA Codes (wic:14465-14466)

14465.  For purposes of this article and Section 14454, "emergency
services" shall have the same meaning as that established in Section
1317.1 of the Health and Safety Code for "emergency services and
care."


14466.  The plan shall make a request to the department to
temporarily disenroll any enrollee for the month or months in which
the patient is hospitalized and remains in stable condition, and
refuses to be transferred from a nonplan provider's facility to a
plan's facility when it is medically safe to do so.
   This section shall only be applicable in Los Angeles County
because of problems the county has experienced in treating nonplan
Medi-Cal enrollees in county hospitals.
