Medical Assistance
This bill requires DHFS to levy, enforce, and collect an assessment on health maintenance organizations (HMOs) that contract with DHFS to provide health care to recipients of Medical Assistance (MA) or Badger Care. The assessment is 6 percent of each HMO's annual gross revenues, based on statements that each HMO must file with OCI annually by March 1. Under the bill, the first assessment is due on March 31, 2006. The assessments must be deposited into the MA trust fund. In addition, the bill requires DHFS to distribute, from the MA trust fund, moneys in each fiscal year to supplement MA payments to HMOs that provide services to MA recipients and Badger Care payments to HMOs that provide services to Badger Care recipients, to assist in meeting increasing costs, more intense use of services by MA and Badger Care recipients, and other reimbursement needs that DHFS identifies. DHFS must establish procedures and requirements for levying the assessment.
