The Honorable, The Senate:
Section
46.277 (5m) directs the Department of Health and Family Services to submit a report, by October 1 each year, to the Joint Committee on Finance, and to the Chief Clerk of each house of the Legislature for distribution to the appropriate standing committees, describing the cost and quality of services used under the Medicaid Home and Community - Based Waivers and the extent to which existing services have been used under the program in the preceding calendar year. The Department has completed the programmatic and demographic sections of the report. Information on the cost of community care and institutional care is based on a report submitted annually to the Federal Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA). The completion of this report, which normally occurs in late summer after the close of the state fiscal year, has been delayed due to technical computer and data compilation-related problems. HCFA has provided the Department an extension to complete the report by the end of December 1998. The Department will then be able to complete the Medicaid Home and Community - Based Waivers report and submit it to the Legislature in January 1999.
Pleas contact me or my staff with any questions.
Sincerely,
Joe LEean
Secretary
Referred to the committee on Health, Family Services and Aging
