Health and Human services
Medical Assistance
Currently, DHFS administers a Community Integration Program (commonly known as "CIP II"), under which Medical Assistance (MA) moneys are paid to counties to provide home and community-based services, under a waiver of federal Medicaid laws, to elderly and physically disabled persons who meet the level of care requirements for MA-reimbursed nursing home care or who are relocated from facilities. DHFS must establish a uniform daily rate for CIP II and reimburse counties up to that rate for each person enrolled in CIP II. DHFS may provide enhanced reimbursement for CIP II services for a person who is relocated to the community from a nursing home by a county if the nursing home bed used by the person is delicensed upon the person's relocation.
This bill authorizes DHFS to provide enhanced CIP II funding for home and community-based services to an MA-eligible person who relocates from a facility to the community, if the number of persons served does not exceed the number of nursing home beds delicensed as part of plans submitted by nursing homes and approved by DHFS.
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:

[revisor inserts date], if the nursing home bed that was used by the individual is delicensed upon relocation of the individual number of individuals served under this paragraph does not exceed the number of nursing home beds that are delicensed as part of plans submitted by nursing homes and approved by the department. The department shall develop and utilize a formula to determine the enhanced reimbursement rate.

AN ACT ...; relating to: charging counties for services to residents of state centers for the developmentally disabled who are determined appropriate for community care.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
health and human services
Medical Assistance
Under current law, DHFS must bill a county department of developmental disabilities services for services that a center for the developmentally disabled provides to a resident of that county. For a center resident who is eligible for benefits under the Medical Assistance (MA) program, federal Medicaid Program law requires that an independent professional review periodically determine if his or her condition is, instead, appropriate for community care. For persons whose care is determined to be appropriate in the community but who continue to receive services in the state centers for the developmentally disabled, including persons for whom the cost of community care would be less than $184 per day, DHFS must bill a county department of developmentally disabled services at $48 per day. (The $184 per day amount is the rate paid to counties before July 1, 2000, for services provided under the federal Medicaid waiver Community Integration Program to relocate persons from the state centers for the developmentally disabled, also known as "CIP 1A"; the current rate is $325 per day.)
This bill changes the reference to the obsolete CIP 1A rate of $184 per day in describing MA recipients who are residents in state centers for the developmentally disabled but whose conditions are appropriate for community care. The reference under the bill is to the current rate paid for services under CIP 1A.
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:
SECTION 1. 51.437 (4rm) (c) 2. b. of the statutes is amended to read:
51.437 (4rm) (c) 2. b. Bill the county department of developmental disabilities services for services provided on or after December 31, 1997, at $48 per day, if an independent professional review established under 42 USC 1396a (a) (31) designates the person served as appropriate for community care, including persons who have been admitted for more than 180 consecutive days and for whom the cost of care in the community would be equal to or less than $184 per day the daily rate for services under s. 46.275. The department of health and family services shall use money it receives from the county department of developmental disabilities services to offset the state's share of medical assistance. Payment is due from the county department of developmental disabilities services within 60 days of the billing date, subject to provisions of the contract. If the department of health and family services does not receive any payment within 60 days, it shall deduct all or part of the amount due from any payment the department of health and family services is required to make to the county department of developmental disabilities services. The department of health and family services shall first use collections received under s. 46.10 as a result of care at a center for the developmentally disabled to reduce the costs paid by medical assistance, and shall remit the remainder to the county department of developmental disabilities services up to the portion billed. The department of health and family services shall use the appropriation under s. 20.435 (2) (gk) to remit collection credits and other appropriate refunds to county departments of developmental disabilities services.
