Bill > S1201

This bill appropriates funds to the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare's Division of Medicaid for fiscal years 2025 and 2026, allocating money from various sources including the Cooperative Welfare (General) Fund, Hospital Assessment Fund, Medicaid Management Information Systems Dedicated Fund, and Cooperative Welfare (Federal) Fund. The bill provides detailed budget allocations across six main categories: Medicaid Administration and Medical Management, Coordinated Medicaid Plan, Enhanced Medicaid Plan, Basic Medicaid Plan, Expansion Medicaid Plan, and Extended Employment Services, with a total appropriation of $691,592,600 for fiscal year 2026. The bill also directs the Division of Medicaid to explore a value-based payment model for outpatient addiction treatment, work on transitioning multi-year contracts to align with the state's fiscal year, and reduce mid-year contract adjustments. Additionally, the division is required to submit annual reports on the Emergency Medicaid program and federal funding. The bill includes restrictions on transferring legislative appropriations between funds and mandates that the agency take actions to ensure the state is not obligated to replace lost federal funds. The appropriations are subject to specific conditions, limitations, and restrictions, with some sections of the bill taking effect immediately and others starting July 1, 2025.
