AI Summary
This bill makes several changes to the medical assistance program in Michigan:
It requires the Department of Health and Human Services to enroll individuals eligible under the Affordable Care Act's Medicaid expansion into contracted health plans, giving them a choice of plans and ensuring access to primary care and preventive services. The bill also allows for telemedicine services, establishes cost-sharing requirements, and implements measures to encourage high-value services and detect fraud. The bill further requires hospitals to accept 115% of Medicare rates as payment in full for uninsured individuals with incomes up to 250% of the federal poverty level. Additionally, the bill directs the department to enroll all existing fee-for-service enrollees into contracted health plans, develop incentives for healthy behaviors, and ensure actuarially sound capitation payments to the plans. The bill also repeals certain existing sections of the Social Welfare Act.
