For 2009-11 Budget -- Not Ready For Introduction
2009 BILL
AN ACT ...; relating to: the budget.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Health and human services
Medical Assistance
Under current law, DHS is required to request a waiver from the secretary of the federal Department of Health and Human Services and, if the waiver is granted, to conduct a program (childless adult program) providing health care coverage to adults under the age of 65 who have incomes not exceeding 200 percent of the federal poverty line and who are not otherwise eligible for the Medical Assistance program or Medicare. DHS may promulgate rules regarding cost-sharing requirements for the program. This bill provides that cost sharing under the program may include an annual enrollment fee, which may not exceed $75 per year. The bill also modifies an existing appropriation that pays a portion of the administrative costs of BadgerCare Plus by: 1) paying for the administration of the childless adult program from that appropriation; 2) adding enrollment fees paid by persons enrolled in the childless adult program as a funding source for the appropriation; and 3) changing the appropriation from biennial to continuing, which means that the unencumbered balance in the appropriation account stays in the account for use for the appropriation's purposes and does not lapse at the end of a fiscal year or biennium.
For further information see the state 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. 49.45 (23) (b) of the statutes is amended to read:
49.45 (23) (b) If the waiver is granted and in effect, the department may promulgate rules defining the health care benefit plan, including more specific eligibility requirements and cost-sharing requirements. Cost sharing may include an annual enrollment fee, which may not exceed $75 per year. Notwithstanding s. 227.24 (3), the plan details under this subsection may be promulgated as an emergency rule under s. 227.24 without a finding of emergency. If the waiver is granted and in effect, the demonstration project under this subsection shall begin on January 1, 2009, or on the effective date of the waiver, whichever is later.
