Bill > SB380

This bill authorizes the state to appropriate funds to secure federal financial participation, which is federal matching funds, for medical assistance payments to providers who serve Medicaid recipients, specifically for the expansion of the Medicaid program as outlined in the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and its amendment. This means the state is preparing to cover its share of costs for expanding Medicaid eligibility, but this authorization is contingent on the federal government providing at least 90 percent of the funding for this expansion.
