Explanation
The bill is anticipated to result in a savings of approximately $14,000
annually associated with the elimination of a separate eligibility
process for HUSKY Plus members. While the bill repeals the HUSKY
Plus program, its supplemental services are anticipated to continue
under the basic HUSKY B benefit package. Savings reflect the
anticipated reduction in contract requirements as a separate
administrative process for HUSKY Plus members would no longer be
necessary.
The bill makes other changes that have no fiscal impact as they are
technical and conforming in nature.
The Out Years
The annualized ongoing fiscal impact identified above would
continue into the future subject to inflation.
