Bill > H0611

Introduced Session

This bill proposes to modify several provisions affecting the Department of Vermont Health Access. It would eliminate the Department’s duty to create annual lists of prescription drugs that have recently experienced significant price increases and provide those lists to the Green Mountain Care Board and the Office of the Attorney General. The bill would modify the membership of the Medicaid and Exchange Advisory Committee and eliminate the Commissioner’s ability to reappoint members to that Committee for additional terms. The bill would update language about reflective health plans to reflect the unmerging of the individual and small group health insurance markets and would modify the composition and term length of members of the Department’s Clinical Utilization Review Board. The bill would also increase the amount of the burial funds exclusion for Medicaid eligibility purposes and would extend the time period within which the Department must seek federal approval for and begin Medicaid coverage of doula services.
