SB 375 FISCAL NOTE
AN ACT relative to a prepaid health plan for Medicaid services and relative to the Medicaid management information system.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Department of Health and Human Services states this bill, as amended by the Senate (Amendment #2012-0711s), will have no fiscal impact on state, county, or local revenues and expenditures.
METHODOLOGY:
The Department states this bill is a necessary technical change to Chapter 224:24, Laws of 2011 in order to enable the Department to comply with Chapter 125, Laws of 2011. Chapter 125 requires the Department to provide managed care for all persons who receive Medicaid. To the extent there may be any additional costs, those costs can be absorbed by the Department without additional funding.
This bill also repeals Chapter 224:365, Laws of 2011 which requires the commissioner of the Department of Information Technology to engage a consultant to evaluate the state’s Medicaid management information system project (MMIS). The cost of the consultant was to be borne by the company developing and implement the MMIS system, therefore there is no state, county, or local fiscal impact
