The Honorable, The Senate:
S909
1983 Wisconsin Act 27 created s.
46.277(5m) of the statutes, which requires the Department of Health and Social Services to submit an annual report on its federal Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services waiver, the Community Integration Program II (CIP II). The attached report covers calendar year 1995 for the CIP and COP-Waiver (Community Options Program Waiver).
These waivers are designed to relocate or divert elderly and physically disabled persons from nursing homes and finance their care with Medicaid. The level of Medicaid waiver funding must be no greater on average than the Medicaid cost for nursing home care. The annual report examines both cost and quality of care in the waiver programs and compares average costs in the waiver program to average nursing home costs.
A second report detailing other public costs incurred by community-based and institutional recipients of Medicaid long-term care services is prepared in conjunction with the annual waiver report. This detail report of public costs has been provided to the Legislative Fiscal Bureau and additional copies are available upon request.
Sincerely,
Joe Leean
Secretary
State of Wisconsin
Department of Administration
October 9, 1996
The Honorable, The Legislature:
This report is transmitted as required by sec. 20.002(11)(f) of the Wisconsin Statutes, for distribution to the appropriate standing committees under sec. 13.172(3) Stats., and confirms that the Department of Administration has found it necessary to exercise the "temporary reallocation of balances" authority provided by this section in order to meet payment responsibilities and cover resulting negative balances during the month of September, 1996.
On September 1, 1996 the Wisconsin Health Insurance Risk Sharing Fund balance was -$20 thousand. This shortfall continued until September 25, 1996 when the balance reached $88 thousand. This shortfall was due to the timing of revenues.
The Wisconsin Health Insurance Risk Sharing Fund shortfall was not in excess of the $400 million ceiling and did not exceed the balances of the Funds available for interfund borrowing.
The distribution of interest earnings to investment pool participants is based on the average daily balance in the pool and each fund's share. Therefore, the monthly calculation by the State Controller's Office will automatically reflect the use of these temporary reallocations of balance authority.
Sincerely,
James R. Klauser
Secretary
Referred to joint committee on Finance.
