RE:   H.C.R. No. 159

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committees on Human Services and Health, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 159 entitled:

 

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES TO CONDUCT A STUDY ON THE STATE'S COMPLIANCE WITH THE PATIENT PROTECTION AND AFFORDABLE CARE ACT WITH EMPHASIS ON MEDICAID PROGRAM INTEGRITY,"

 

beg leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to request the Department of Human Services to conduct a study on the State's compliance with the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in regards to Medicaid program integrity within the managed care health plans, fee-for-service program, and the Children's Health Insurance Program, and to include timelines and plans for compliance with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act for fiscal years 2010-2011, 2011-2012, 2012-2013, and 2013-2014.

 

     For the purposes of filing reports associated with the study, your Committees' intent is for the Legislature to accept the following reports: Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services reports relating to program integrity per applicable fiscal year, applicable external quality review reports if the external quality review focused on program integrity compliance, and reports addressing activities of the Med-QUEST Division Program Integrity Unit per fiscal year.

 

     This measure also requests the Director of Human Services to report the final status of implementation and compliance with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, along with any suggested legislation, to the Legislature no later than 20 days before the convening of the Regular Session of 2015.

 

     The Department of Human Services and United Self Help supported the intent of the measure.  

 

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Human Services and Health that are attached to this report, your Committees concur with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 159 and recommend that it be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Human Services and Health,
