Central Coast CFOs Need a UIS/PPS Exposure Worksheet, Not a Borrowed Local Benchmark
Earlier local reporting of a named-clinic State-Only/UIS dollar exposure is no longer available from a durable public source, so this item has been downgraded from a verified local benchmark to a modeling prompt. The usable lesson remains operational: build a center-specific 2027 sensitivity using UIS visit volume by service line, current PPS rates, applicable fee-schedule or managed-care rates, and final DHCS implementation guidance.
Treat outside dollar figures as illustrative until you can verify them from primary materials.
Part of
- California's state-only Medi-Cal coverage
PPS reimbursement for state-only patients
Key points
- Downgraded from verified named-clinic benchmark to center-specific modeling prompt
- Use UIS panel, visits by line, PPS rates, and fee-schedule/managed-care deltas
- Treat timing as a July 1, 2027 sensitivity until final DHCS guidance lands
- Replicable model for SBNC, Clinicas del Camino Real, CHC Central Coast, Salud
