Cal. Welfare and Institutions Code § 14496

(a) Alternate methods of payment for a pilot program may include, but shall not be limited to, a prospectively negotiated reimbursement rate, fee-for-service, retainer, capitation, or other basis. (b) In order to implement expeditiously the budgeting decisions of the Legislature, the director shall, to the extent permitted by federal law, adopt regulations setting rates payable to providers which reflect such decisions 30 days after the enactment of the Budget Act and of any other appropriation which changes the level of funding for Medi-Cal services. The proposed regulations shall be submitted to the Department of Finance five days prior to the date of adoption. With the written approval of the Department of Finance, the director shall adopt such regulations as emergency regulations in accordance with the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 11340), Part 1, Division 3, Title 2 of the Government Code). For purposes of such act, the adoption of such regulations shall be deemed an emergency and necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, and safety or general welfare. (c) In order to implement expeditiously the budgeting decisions of the Legislature, the director and the contractor shall, to the extent permitted by federal law, amend the pilot project contract to reflect such decisions 60 days after the enactment of the Budget Act and of any other appropriation which changes the level of funding for Medi-Cal services. Any approvals, ratifications, reviews, or analyses of such amendments required to be undertaken by any state agency or state department shall be completed within the 60-day period specified in this subdivision.
