What it does

This bill requires the department of human services (DHS) to contractually require that a Medicaid managed care organization (MCO) limit the costs for the leasing of administrative operations space in the state to a reasonable amount. The bill defines “reasonable amount” as an amount that is no more than percent of the highest rate for rental of commercial office space per square foot in the state. The bill also requires an MCO to submit a copy of any lease agreement for rental of administrative operations space in the state to DHS to ensure compliance and requires DHS to make the agreement available to the public as part of the Medicaid managed care annual report.
