Senator Ellis offered Amendment No. 44 : Department of Health and Social Services Budget: Medical Assistance Legislative Intent This appropriation is subject to Section 30 of this act. It is the intent of the Legislature that the Medical Assistance Division provide to adults the optional medicaid services numbered [fiveß 6 through 31, as prioritized in AS 47.07.035, which includes eyeglasses, hearing aids and dental care. The Legislature assumes [the rate of growth in the Medicaid formula will not exceedß a Medicaid general fund projection, including options 6 - 10, for fiscal year 1998 of 7.0% ªmß over the fiscal year 199ª8ß7 general fund authorization. Additionally the Legislature assumes that the Division will ªmanageß take reasonable steps to reduce this projected increase in Medicaid expenditures to the fiscal year 1998 authorized level by management of costs through emergency regulations limiting scope, duration and amount of services, as well as through implementation 1997-04-16 Senate Journal Page 1221 HB 75 of managed care initiatives. Specifically, it is the intent of the Legislature that the Division will: implement mental health prior authorization ª; implementß and changes to the scope of and rates paid for mental health services; realize full-year savings from resource-based relative value scale rate-setting; realize full-year savings from new facility reimbursement rateªsß methodology; implement preadmission assessment and care plan counseling for persons seeking ªscreening forß nursing homeªsß admission; implement ªthreeß managed care initiatives; conduct on-site medical reviews; initiate additional ªcooperation with IHS/Medicaid programß efforts to identify and secure 100% federal funding for medical services provided to IHS/Medicaid eligibles; and, ªwork with community mental health providers toß maintain payments for community mental health services at no more that the fiscal year 1997 levels. The ªDivisionß Department will produce ª, in cooperation with the Division of Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities,ß a ªcomplete reportingß report of beneficiaries ª, costs, and outcomesß and costs for the entire mental health system, and specifically how Medicaid ªcosts and outcomesß payments contribute to that system. ªFurthermore, tß The Legislature assumes that a net of 125 legal aliens will no longer qualify for Medicaid services during the last half of fiscal year 1998 due to changes in federal law. ªThe average cost per year, per Medicaid recipient is approximately $4,000, resulting in a $250 thousand general fund savings. Finally iß It is the intent of the Legislature that the [Division of Medical Assistanceß Department provide a full accounting of the state resources made available in fiscal years 1996 and 1997 to the 28 seriously emotionally disturbed children expected to participate in the ªseriously emotionally disturbedß fiscal year 1998 TEFRA ªprogramß option. The Department shall implement the 48- hour maternity stay provision effective January 1, 1998, to coincide with the change in federal law. The Division of Medical Assistance will provide to the Legislature by the 15th day of the 1998 session a report describing the implementation and status of the Divisions cost management activities to achieve the appropriation. If the assumptions about Medicaid eligibles and cost growth and cost management savings are not achieved the Department should request supplemental funding (not to be constrained under a supplemental 1997-04-16 Senate Journal Page 1222 HB 75 cap) for the balance of fiscal year 1998, to assure that needy Alaskans continue to receive benefits to which they are entitled through the Medicaid program.
