2007 - 2008 LEGISLATURE
DOA:......Jablonsky, BB0208 - HIRSP Authority changes
For 2007-09 Budget -- Not Ready For Introduction
2007 BILL
AN ACT ...; relating to: changes to the Health Insurance Risk-Sharing Plan Authority.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Health and human services
Health
Under current law, the Health Insurance Risk-Sharing Plan Authority (HIRSP Authority) administers the Health Insurance Risk-Sharing Plan (HIRSP), which provides health insurance coverage for persons who are covered under Medicare because they are disabled, persons who have tested positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), persons who have been refused coverage, or coverage at an affordable price, in the private health insurance market because of their mental or physical health condition, and persons who do not currently have health insurance coverage, but who were covered under certain types of health insurance coverage (creditable coverage) for at least 18 months in the past. HIRSP is funded by premiums paid by covered persons, insurer assessments, and provider payment discounts.
This bill makes the following changes to HIRSP and the HIRSP Authority:
1. The bill provides that the HIRSP Authority is to be treated as a state agency for all purposes under the Wisconsin Retirement System, including the purpose of providing fringe benefits, such as participation in the pension plan and health insurance coverage, to its employees.
2. The bill requires the Investment Board, if requested by the HIRSP Authority, to invest funds of the HIRSP Authority in the state investment fund. The bill further permits the HIRSP Authority to participate in the local government pooled-investment fund.
3. Currently, insurer assessments and federal high risk pool grant moneys are paid to OCI and then to the HIRSP Authority. Under the bill those payments go directly to the HIRSP Authority.
4. Currently, for payment under HIRSP, all providers of services and articles must be certified to provide those services and articles under the Medical Assistance (MA) program. The bill allows prescription drugs to be provided by a network of pharmacists and pharmacies that are approved by the HIRSP Authority Board of Directors. The network, however, must include all pharmacists and pharmacies that are certified to provide prescription drugs under MA in this state.
5. Currently, payments to providers must consist of the allowable charges for services and articles under MA with an enhancement determined by the HIRSP Authority. The adjustments must take into account provider discounts. The bill requires payments to providers to consist of usual and customary payment rates, determined by the HIRSP Authority, with adjustments that take into account provider discounts.
6. The bill provides that any administrator with which the HIRSP Authority Board contracts to administer HIRSP must also be the administrator of the Health Coverage Tax Credit Program, which the HIRSP Authority is required under current law to design and administer.
7. Under current law, certain persons with coverage under HIRSP with incomes below a specified level are eligible for premium and deductible subsidies. The bill makes all persons with coverage under HIRSP with incomes below that specified level eligible for the premium and deductible subsidies.
8. Under current law, with certain exceptions, anyone who is eligible for certain types of health care coverage provided by an employer is ineligible for coverage under HIRSP. The bill authorizes the HIRSP Authority Board to specify other exceptions.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
