4600.7
. (a) The Workers' Compensation Managed Care Fund is hereby
created in the State Treasury for the administration of Sections
4600.3 and 4600.5 by the Division of Workers' Compensation. The
administrative director shall establish a schedule of fees and
revenues to be charged to certified health care organizations and
applicants for certification to fully fund the administration of
these provisions and to repay amounts received as a loan from the
General Fund. All fees and revenues shall be deposited in the Workers'
Compensation Managed Care Fund and shall be used when appropriated
by the Legislature solely for the purpose of carrying out the
responsibilities of the Division of Workers' Compensation under
Section 4600.3 or 4600.5.
(b) On and after July 1, 1998, no funds received as a loan from
the General Fund shall be used to support the administration of
Sections 4600.3 and 4600.5. The loan amount shall be repaid to the
General Fund by assessing a surcharge on the enrollment fee for each
of the next five fiscal years. In the event the surcharge does not
produce sufficient revenue over this period, the surcharge shall be
adjusted to fully repay the loan over the following three fiscal
years, with the final assessment calculated by dividing the balance
of the loan by the enrollees at the end of the final fiscal year.
