Nondesignated Public Hospital Bridge Loan Program II
On June 27, 2022, the Nondesignated Public Hospital Bridge Loan Program II (NDPH II) was chaptered into law through the annual Budget Act of 2022 (Section 2.00, Chapter 43, Statutes of 2022) authorizing the Authority to provide loans using an appropriation of $40 million in General Fund moneys. NDPH II provides zero interest rate low-cost loans to eligible nondesignated public hospitals (as defined in paragraph (25) of subdivision (a) of Section 14105.98 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, excluding designated public hospitals) that are affected by financial delays associated with the transition from the Public Hospital Redesign and Incentives in Medi-Cal (PRIME) Program to the Quality Incentive Program (QIP). These loans are required to be paid back in two years. The loans issued by CHFFA are secured by a borrower's Medi-Cal reimbursements.
