DOA:......Blaine, BB0242 - MA supplemental payments for school-based services
For 2005-07 Budget -- Not Ready For Introduction
2005 BILL
AN ACT ...; relating to: the budget.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
health and human services
Medical Assistance
Under current law, DHFS reimburses school districts, cooperative educational service agencies (CESAs), or DPI 60 percent of the amount that the state receives as federal Medicaid reimbursement for health care services that school districts, CESAs, or DPI provide in schools to pupils who are eligible for the Medical Assistance (MA) program. DHFS may make supplemental MA payments for these services if the total of the reimbursement and the supplements does not exceed federal Medicaid payment limitations. The amounts of any supplemental MA payments made by DHFS must be decreased from the DPI general purpose revenues appropriation account for payment to counties, CESAs, and school districts for special education services and must be lapsed to the general fund.
This bill eliminates the authority for DHFS to make supplemental MA payments for school-based services provided to pupils who are eligible for MA and eliminates the requirement that the amounts of these supplements be lapsed to the general fund from DPI's general purpose revenues appropriation for special education.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:

If the department receives the notice, a school district, cooperative educational service agency, the Wisconsin Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired, or the Wisconsin Educational Services Program for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing may submit, and the department shall allow, unreimbursed claims for common carrier transportation costs incurred before the date of the change in federal policy.
