Bill > SCR239

This Concurrent Resolution requests the Legislative Reference Bureau, a state agency that provides research and bill drafting services to the legislature, to perform a financial audit of managed care organizations that manage the Employer-Union Health Benefits Trust Fund. The audit will examine how much money is spent on actual healthcare services versus administrative costs, which can include things like managing patient care, processing claims, and other operational expenses. The resolution also specifically asks for an analysis of how payment methods, like capitation (a fixed payment per patient), affect the administrative burdens on primary care physicians and contribute to physician shortages, as well as an investigation into "medical management" costs and other relevant issues, with a report due to the legislature before the 2023 session.
