Agenda IME presentation –Program history –Program statistics –Issues IowaCare Evaluation – Public Policy Center Public Comment

Why do we have IowaCare? In 2005, Federal action to eliminate $65 million in federal revenue from Intergovernmental Transfers (IGTs). Represented over 10% of Medicaid funding. Due to General Fund pressures at the time, this would certainly have resulted in program/provider cuts. IowaCare was developed to offset that loss.

Why do we have IowaCare? IowaCare converted long standing State/County funded indigent care programs at Broadlawns and Univeristy of Iowa Hospitals and the 4 State MHIs to a limited benefit Medicaid program. The 100% state/county funding was converted to a program that received 2/3 federal match. The savings went to the General Fund to offset the loss of federal IGT funding. Prevented significant program/provider cuts in the Medicaid program.

IowaCare Program – Limited Benefit Medicaid Expansion Eligibles = Adults age below 200% FPL, 200%- 300% pregnant women, former state papers grandfathered. Services = Inpatient, outpatient hospital, physician, limited dental and transportation. Providers = ONLY at UIHC, Broadlawns, MHIs (because their GF/County dollars funded the program). Designed to roughly match the prior 100% state/county funded programs. Sliding scale premiums – originally 10% FPL up, changed to 100% FPL up.

CMS Terms & Conditions Budget neutrality – federal funding cap, premised on exchanging the federal IGT dollars for 1115 waiver. MHI separate cap - $25M, down to $9M in FY 2009, to $0 in FY The phase-down of MHI dollars replaced by GF; the freed up IowaCare dollars used to offset growth primarily at UIHC. Any changes need waiver amendment.

Planned vs. Experience Planned to cover about 14,000 Iowans / enrollment now over 27,000. Unduplicated members since program inception over 57,000. Most of growth at UIHC. UIHC appropriation (claims experience) grown from $27M (the original state papers amount) to over $63M in FY 09.

Program Statistics See handout.

Waiver Renewal Expires June 30, Priority #1 – continuing what we have, at a minimum. –There are 27,000 Iowans enrolled and over $110 million in expenditures – any reduction would be difficult. –It is NOT a given that we will get the same deal on budget neutrality.

Waiver renewal – expansion? There are many competing demands for expansion: –Continued growth in uninsured adults/need for coverage (large number of Medicaid/hawk-i parents uncovered). –Need for prescription drug, DME coverage under IowaCare. –Local access to local physician/hospital care –Better coverage for dental, and outpatient mental health.

Constraints Budget Neutrality Always need the State match – where will it come from? We believe the more difficult geographic access has constrained program growth – how big would the program be with better local access and better coverage? In a world of scarce resources we have to set priorities – what will they be?
