HB362 proposes to set the reimbursement rate for prisoner medical care costs in Alaska at the rate established under federal law, 42 U.S.C 1396-1396w-7 (Title XIX, Social Act), thus presenting a strategic approach to address the ever-growing costs of healthcare in our prisons. By establishing the reimbursement rates with those under Title XIX of the Social Act, we can expect cost savings. This alignment ensures cost-effectiveness and brings predictability to the budgeting processes. In addition, the provision allowing the commissioner to negotiate contracts for higher rates allows flexibility when needed. HB362 presents a balanced and strategic approach to managing healthcare costs in prisons while ensuring the provision of necessary care. It is a step towards a more sustainable and effective healthcare system within our prisons. 10:33:10 AM CHAIR KAWASAKI opened invited and public testimony on HB 362. 10:33:33 AM CHAIR KAWASAKI closed public testimony. 10:33:40 AM CHAIR KAWASAKI solicited the will of the committee. 10:33:44 AM SENATOR MERRICK moved to report HB 362, work order 33-LS1387\A, from committee with individual recommendations and attached fiscal note(s). 10:34:02 AM CHAIR KAWASAKI found no objection and HB 362 was reported from the Senate State Affairs Standing Committee. 10:34:25 AM There being no further business to come before the committee, Chair Kawasaki adjourned the Senate State Affairs Standing Committee meeting at 10:34 p.m.
