§ 15806 Contract Transfer To Health Department

Key Takeaways

  • •If the Managed Risk Medical Insurance Board had any deals or contracts, those don’t get canceled just because this law was added.
  • •The State Department of Health Care Services takes over all the jobs and duties from the Managed Risk Medical Insurance Board for these deals.
  • •Nothing changes for the other people or groups in these deals—they still have the same rights.
  • •This rule started working on July 1, 2014.

Example

Imagine the Managed Risk Medical Insurance Board had a contract with a hospital to provide healthcare for kids.

Even after this law passed, the hospital’s contract doesn’t disappear. Instead, the State Department of Health Care Services steps in and takes over the board’s part of the deal. The hospital still gets paid and does its job like before, just dealing with the new department now.
