DOA:......Milioto, BB0050 - Eliminate requirement to change recipients of systems change grants
For 2005-07 Budget -- Not Ready For Introduction
2005 BILL
AN ACT ...; relating to: mental health systems change grants.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
health and human services
Mental illness and developmental disabilities
Under current law, DHFS must distribute federal funds as mental health systems change grants, to initially phase in recovery-oriented mental health system changes, strategies for prevention and early intervention, and consumer and family involvement for individuals with mental illness. DHFS must eliminate funding for each grant recipient after three years and must require that community mental health services developed under a grant are continued after funding termination by use of savings made available from strategies developed under the grant.
This bill eliminates the three-year limitation on the funding for a recipient of a mental health systems change grant and the requirement that community mental health services developed under a grant be continued after grant termination by use of savings made available under the grant.
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. 46.52 of the statutes is amended to read:
46.52 Systems change grants. From the appropriation under s. 20.435 (7) (md), the department shall distribute funds to each grant recipient under this section so as to permit initial phasing in of recovery-oriented system changes, prevention and early intervention strategies, and consumer and family involvement for individuals with mental illness. At least 10% of the funds distributed shall be for children with mental illness. The department shall eliminate the funding for a recipient at the end of a period of not more than 3 years in order to provide funding to benefit another recipient. The department shall require that community services that are developed under this section are continued, following termination of funding under this section, by use of savings made available from incorporating recovery, prevention and early intervention strategies, and consumer and family involvement in the services.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
health and human services
Mental illness and developmental disabilities
Under current law, DHFS must annually reduce by $500,000 the amount by which accumulated expenses of providing care for patients of the state mental health institutes exceed the revenues received for providing that care, until the expenses are in balance with the revenues. DHFS also must implement a plan, approved by DOA, to assure that there are sufficient revenues to cover anticipated expenditures for providing care for mental health institute patients. Beginning October 1, 1993, DHFS must report to DOA every three months concerning implementation of this plan. Lastly, DHFS must report to JCF of the legislature by December 31 annually to identify the amount of expenses that exceed revenues and describe actions of DHFS to reduce those expenses.
This bill eliminates requirements for DHFS to reduce the expenses of providing care to patients of mental health institutes that exceed revenues, to implement a DOA-approved plan to assure sufficient revenues to cover anticipated expenses, and to report to DOA and to JCF concerning the revenues and expenses.
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. 51.05 (3g) of the statutes is repealed.
SECTION 2. 51.05 (3m) of the statutes is repealed.

AN ACT ...; relating to: the Well-Woman Program.

Health
Under current law, DHFS funds certain preventative health care services for low-income, underinsured, and uninsured women under the Well-Woman Program. Current law requires that DHFS charge women whose income exceeds 150 percent of the federal poverty line a copayment for breast cancer screenings provided under the Well-Woman Program.
This bill eliminates the copayment for breast cancer screenings under the Well-Woman Program and provides that women whose income exceeds 250 percent of the federal poverty line are not eligible for breast cancer screenings under the Program. The bill also allows DHFS to reimburse providers for case management services under the Well-Woman Program.
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:

Reimbursement to service providers under this section shall be at the rate of reimbursement for identical services provided under medicare, except that, if projected costs under this section exceed the amounts appropriated under s. 20.435 (5) (cb), the department shall modify services or reimbursement accordingly. Within this limitation, the department shall implement the well-woman program to do all of the following:

Recipients of services under this paragraph are subject to a copayment, payable to the service provider, for which the department shall reduce reimbursement to the service provider, as follows: The department shall reduce reimbursement for a service provided under this paragraph by the amount of any applicable 3rd-party coverage.
SECTION 3. 255.06 (2) (a) 1. to 3. of the statutes are repealed.
