Evaluation Of California’s Global Payment Program Final Report

The report was released by the California Department of Health Care Services on June 18, 2019. The report is the final evaluation of the California Medicaid Global Payment Program (GPP)., which combines two funding streams for uncompensated care – the Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) payments and Safety Net Care Pool (SNCP) payments to create a statewide pool of funding for the uninsured. The goal is to move uncompensated care payments to a bundled structure to encourage use of primary and preventive care rather than emergency department and inpatient care . . .
