HF 376: Relating to Medicaid program coverage for certain populations, and including effective date provisions

What it does

This bill requires the department of human services (DHS) to terminate existing contracts with Medicaid managed care organizations as the contracts apply to the Medicaid long-term services and supports and the Medicare-Medicaid dual eligible populations, and to transfer these populations from the Medicaid managed care to the Medicaid fee-for-service payment and delivery system. The transition is to be based on a transition plan developed by DHS and submitted to the council on human services and the medical assistance advisory council for review. DHS is required to seek any Medicaid state plan or waiver amendments as necessary to complete the transition. The bill takes effect upon enactment.
