Health plans: joint ventures.

Summary
Existing law creates various health benefits programs, including the Medi-Cal program, administered by the State Department of Health Care Services, and the County Medical Services Program. Existing law, the Knox-Keene Health Care Service Plan Act of 1975, administered by the Department of Managed Health Care, provides for the licensure and regulation of health care service plans. This bill would authorize certain local initiative health plans, county-organized health plans, and the County Medical Services Program governing board to form joint ventures that consist of contractual relationships to pool risk or share networks, or both, or to provide for the joint or coordinated offering of health plans to individuals and groups. The bill would require all joint ventures established pursuant to the above provisions to meet all of the requirements of the Knox-Keene Health Care Service Plan Act of 1975.
