Bills for services rendered during the 1970–71 fiscal year to beneficiaries under the California Medical Assistance Program are bills against the appropriation for the fiscal year during which the bills are submitted, and shall be submitted not more than two months after the month in which the service is rendered, and shall be in the form prescribed by the director, except that in the event the patient does not identify himself to the provider as a Medi-Cal beneficiary, the provider shall be entitled to submit his statement at any time within 60 days after that date certified by the provider as the date said patient was first identified as a Medi-Cal beneficiary, provided, however, that such date certified by the provider as the date the patient was first so identified shall not be later than one year after the month in which the service was rendered.
Further, the director may, where he finds that delay in the submission of bills was caused by circumstances beyond the control of the provider, extend the period for submission of bills for a period not to exceed one year. Funds in the amount of $106,269,000 are hereby made available from the 1971–72 appropriation to cover the cost of such 1970–71 services billed during the 1971–72 fiscal year. In the event such bills are less than $106,269,000 the balance remaining may be used for the basic or supplemental schedules of benefits.
