Medicaid provider oversight and payment practices would change under this bill in several ways. The Department of Health and Human Services would be required to create performance "quality measures" for specific groups of Medicaid providers chosen each year by the Legislature, evaluate those providers against the measures, and report annually to a legislative subcommittee on provider performance, Medicaid reimbursement rates compared to other payers like Medicare, and how any incentive payments were distributed; providers that meet these measures could become eligible for one-time bonus payments funded through legislative appropriations. Separately, the department would be required to build a "closed loop" referral system allowing healthcare organizations, government agencies, and community and social service organizations to securely coordinate referrals and share information—with an individual's consent—when connecting Medicaid enrollees to services addressing needs like housing, food, or other social supports. The bill would also require the Division of Services for People with Disabilities to give providers at least 30 days' notice before changing their contracts, except in cases such as natural disasters, provider-requested changes, or rate increases. Finally, the bill appropriates about $42.8 million, including roughly $16.9 million in state general funds, to raise Medicaid reimbursement rates for providers including nursing homes, home health agencies, private duty nurses, foster care and disability services providers, and other Medicaid-funded programs.
