 Fiscal Analysis

The bill would amend Government Code, Section 533.0255(a), to update the definition of behavioral health services under Medicaid to include intensive outpatient services and partial hospitalization services.  

 Methodology

Assuming a September 1, 2024, start date, the average monthly recipients associated with expanding Medicaid benefits to include partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient services is estimated to be 343 in fiscal year 2025, increasing each subsequent year to 353 in fiscal year 2028. The estimated cost is $7.5 million in All Funds, including $3.0 million in General Revenue, in fiscal year 2025, increasing each subsequent fiscal year to $8.5 million in All Funds, including $3.4 million in General Revenue in fiscal year 2028. It is assumed that costs related to adding the new Medicaid benefits, including waiver amendments, can be accomplished within existing resources.The net increase in client services payments through managed care is assumed to result in an increase to insurance premium tax revenue, estimated as 1.75 percent of the increased managed care expenditures. Revenue is adjusted for assumed timing of payments and prepayments resulting in increased collections estimated to be less than $0.1 million in fiscal year 2025, $0.2 million in fiscal year 2026, $0.1 million in fiscal year 2027, and $0.1 million in fiscal year 2028. Pursuant to Section 227.001(b), Insurance Code, 25 percent of the revenue is assumed to be deposited to the credit of the Foundation School Fund.

 Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
