Description

Medical Assistance Services; State Plan amendment or application for waiver. Requires the Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS) to convene a Medicaid Revitalization Committee to prepare recommendations for a State Plan amendment or an application for a waiver, including but not limited to a research and demonstration project waiver pursuant to Section 1115 of Title XIX of the Social Security Act, as amended, to reform and revitalize Virginia's Medicaid program. The recommendations shall include fundamental elements to move toward greater emphasis on the state's role in purchasing healthcare services, leveraging the forces of the marketplace to customize services to meet the needs of Virginia's various Medicaid populations, enhancing personal responsibility and empowering individuals to manage their healthcare, bridging public and private coverage, and containing the growth of Medicaid expenditures in the Commonwealth. By May 15, 2007, DMAS shall prepare, submit, and seek approval of any required State Plan amendments or waiver authority. Enactment clauses require emergency regulations upon obtaining approval of the waiver and authorize DMAS to use electronic media, when in compliance with the Administrative Process Act, in the regulatory process. The provisions of the bill are subject to an appropriation of funds in the general appropriation act. Read the Bill »
