Explanation
The bill requires the Department of Social Services (DSS) to submit
any proposal to change the fee-for-service Medicaid payment model to
a managed care payment model to the Appropriations and Human
Services committees before implementing or seeking any necessary
federal approval to implement such change. To the extent this delays or
prevents a change that otherwise would have occurred, the state could
experience a fiscal impact that cannot be determined at this time.
The Out Years
The annualized ongoing fiscal impact identified above would
continue into the future subject to changes in the Medicaid payment
model.
