. (a) (1) A provider or entity that participates in the grant
made to the department by the federal Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention breast and cervical cancer early detection program
established under Title XV of the federal Public Health Service Act
(42 U.S.C. Sec. 300k et seq.) in accordance with requirements of
Section 1504 of that act (42 U.S.C. Sec. 300n) may only render
screening services under the grant to an individual if the provider
or entity determines that the individual's family income does not
exceed 200 percent of the federal poverty level.
(2) Providers, or the enrolling entity, shall make available to all applicants and beneficiaries, prior to or concurrent with enrollment, information on the manner in which to apply for insurance affordability programs, in a manner determined by the State Department of Health Care Services. The information shall include the manner in which applications can be submitted for insurance affordability programs, information about the open enrollment periods for the California Health Benefit Exchange, and the continuous enrollment aspect of the Medi-Cal program.
(b) The department shall provide for breast cancer and cervical cancer screening services under the grant at the level of funding budgeted from state and other resources during the fiscal year in which the Legislature has appropriated funds to the department for this purpose. These screening services shall not be deemed to be an entitlement.
(c) To implement the federal breast and cervical cancer early detection program specified in this section, the department may contract, to the extent permitted by Section 19130 of the Government Code, with public and private entities, or utilize existing health care service provider enrollment and payment mechanisms, including the Medi-Cal program's fiscal intermediary.
