Bill > H0277

This bill amends existing law to establish provisions regarding Medicaid, including work requirements and managed care for persons eligible for Medicaid due to Medicaid eligibility expansion. Specifically, the bill gives the Medicaid director the authority to seek federal waivers to limit retroactive Medicaid eligibility, provide advanced premium tax credits for certain Medicaid-eligible individuals to purchase health plans through the state insurance exchange, and implement work requirements for able-bodied Medicaid recipients. The bill also requires the Medicaid director to establish a managed care plan focused on high-cost populations and seek federal approval to require Medicaid participants to obtain family planning services through referrals from their designated medical homes.
