Section 6540.1 - Prepaid Group Practice Plan

Health care providers which contract with a prepaid group practice health care service plan that annually has at least 20,000 births among its membership may provide, without contracting with the Department, any or all of the testing and counseling services required to be provided under this group, if the services meet quality standards established by the Department and the plan pays that portion of a fee established under section 6540 which is directly attributable to the Department's cost of administering the testing or counseling service and any required testing or counseling services provided by the state for plan members during the previous fiscal year. This option must be executed under terms of a written agreement with the Department. Payment by the plan shall be deemed to fulfill any obligation the provider or the provider's patient may have to the Department to pay a fee in connection with the testing or counseling service.
