Source of revenue (decrease):
The source of the revenue decrease is the repeal of the Birth Cost Recovery Program
in the form of cost recovery revenue.
Assumptions:
The Wyoming Department of Health (WDH)recovers some birth recovery costs through
Medicaid, both directly from clients and through the Wyoming Department of Family
Services (DFS). The WDH estimates this bill would result in a $100,000 revenue
decrease to the General Fund per fiscal year.
The DFS estimates that approximately $75,300 related to staff time has been expended
each year meeting the requirements of the Birth Cost Recovery Program.
