Continuing to Accept Medi-Cal Patients
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECONM ENDATION
Request the County Administrator, Director of Health Services,
County Assessor and County Treasurer-Tax Collector to explore the
feasibility of providing property tax or State income tax relief
to nursing homes continuing to accept Medi-Cal patients.
Determine the extent to which tax relief, if feasible, would
provide an incentive to nursing homes to accept their "fair
share" allocation of Medi-Cal patients.
Report back to the Board of Supervisors within 30 days the
findings of the above exploration of the tax relief proposal.
BACKGROUND
To date, 10 nursing homes in Contra Costa County have terminated
acceptance of Medi-Cal patients. This is becoming a major crisis
and requires the Board of Supervisors to take aggressive action
to retain the Medi-Cal providers. On March 3 , 1987 the Board of
Supervisors approved the concept of requesting nursing homes to
continue to take their "fair share" allocation. The purpose of
this request is to examine the feasibility of providing property
tax and State income tax relief as an incentive to nursing homes
to remain in the Medi-Cal business.
