Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The balance between state and federal health care financing for low-income people has been a matter of considerable debate for the last 40 years. Some argue for a greater federal role, others for more devolution of responsibility to the states. Medicaid, the backbone of the system, has been plagued by an array of problems that have made it unpopular and difficult to use to extend health care coverage. In recent years, waivers have given the states the flexibility to change many features of their Medicaid programs; moreover, the states have considerable flexibility to in establishing State Children's Health Insurance Programs. This book examines the record on the changing health safety net. How well have states done in providing acute and long-term care services to low-income populations? How have they responded to financial incentives and federal regulatory requirements? How innovative have they been? Contributing authors include Donald J. Boyd, Randall R. Bovbjerg, Teresa A. Coughlin, Ian Hill, Michael Housman, Robert E. Hurley, Marilyn Moon, Mary Beth Pohl, Jane Tilly, and Stephen Zuckerman.

This book was released on 2018-04-02 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Social Security Administration (SSA) administers two programs that provide benefits based on disability: the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program and the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. This report analyzes health care utilizations as they relate to impairment severity and SSA's definition of disability. Health Care Utilization as a Proxy in Disability Determination identifies types of utilizations that might be good proxies for "listing-level" severity; that is, what represents an impairment, or combination of impairments, that are severe enough to prevent a person from doing any gainful activity, regardless of age, education, or work experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), signed into law on March 23, 2010, made significant changes to the way eligibility for the Medicaid program will be determined and who the program will cover. Under PPACA, eligibility for Medicaid--a joint federal-state program that finances health care for certain categories of low-income individuals--must be expanded to non-elderly individuals with incomes at or below 133 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL) beginning on January 1, 2014. Through this expansion, states will provide Medicaid coverage to eligible low-income parents and childless adults. PPACA also requires the establishment of American Health Benefit Exchanges (referred to as exchanges)--marketplaces where eligible individuals can purchase private health insurance in each state. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' (CMS) Office of the Actuary has estimated that, as a result of the expansion, the number of Medicaid enrollees will increase by 14.9 million in 2014 and by 25.9 million in 2020. State governments will play a key role in implementing many aspects of this reform, which must be in place by the beginning of 2014. Specifically, states will need to make major changes to the way they conduct Medicaid eligibility determinations for individuals and families. States also will need to develop streamlined eligibility and enrollment systems that allow for the coordination of enrollment across Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and exchanges. At the same time, states will need to address the financial implications of implementing this Medicaid expansion and accompanying enrollment systems. The federal government will initially provide states with full funding to cover the cost of adults who are newly eligible for Medicaid due to the expansion. Congress asked us to report on the actions states are taking to implement the Medicaid expansion. This report addresses the following questions: 1. What are states' responsibilities for implementing the Medicaid expansion provisions under PPACA? 2. What actions have selected states taken to prepare for the Medicaid expansion provisions of PPACA and what challenges have they encountered? 3. What are states' views on the fiscal implications of the Medicaid expansion on state budget planning?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the Affordable Care Act (ACA) expanding Medicaid coverage to individuals under 65 years old with incomes up to 133% of the federal poverty level (FPL), many states have found the increased enrollment burdensome on the state budget. States have used Section 1115 waivers to implement new requirements to receiving coverage. These waivers offer states flexibility in administering Medicaid programs in their state as long as the policies of the waiver are in line with the overarching goals of Medicaid. A recent trend in Section 1115 demonstrations is the inclusion of work requirements and cost-sharing premiums as conditions of eligibility. This study examines the recent waiver approvals in Kentucky and Arkansas that include work requirements. Specifically, this study analyzes the financial implications of changes in enrollment or per capita costs that might result from such a major change in conditions of eligibility. The results of the financial simulations demonstrate that slight changes in enrollment or cost estimates can have significant impacts on the overall savings of a Section 1115 waiver. This is due largely in part to the size of the Medicaid programs in these states and nationwide. Consequently, it is important to understand the estimated effect of work requirements and cost-sharing initiatives to more accurately predict Medicaid costs. Ultimately, the findings of this study show the growing importance of Section 1115 waivers and the need to understand the financial implications of new policies.
