Notwithstanding this section, the requirements set forth in Section 14301 for the determination of prospective per capita rates of payment for services provided under this chapter to Medi-Cal beneficiaries enrolled in a prepaid health plan shall remain unchanged.

Nothing in this section or in Article 7 (commencing with Section 14490) shall relieve the director of his responsibility to provide the benefits provided for in Section 14132.
