Description

This amendment adds $14.9 million from the general fund and $16.0 million from nongeneral funds the first year and $104.3 million from the general fund and $119.9 million from nongeneral funds the second year to (i) provide limited medical services, including coverage of prescription medicines, and a robust set of behavioral health services to 21,600 adults with serious mental illness with incomes at or below 60 percent of the federal poverty, (ii) provide comprehensive dental care for an estimated 45,000 pregnant women in the Medicaid and FAMIS MOMS programs, (iii) provide additional funding to enroll an estimated 35,000 additional children in the Medicaid and FAMIS children's health insurance programs, and (iv) extend FAMIS eligibility to children of low-income state employees who would otherwise be eligible for the program. Language is added to specifically authorize these changes to the Medicaid and FAMIS programs. Language requires the Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS) to amend its demonstration project to modify eligibility criteria set forth in the demonstration project for individuals with serious mental illness and authorizes amendments to the FAMIS MOMS and FAMIS Select demonstration waiver to add comprehensive dental coverage for FAMIS MOMS and extend FAMIS coverage to children of low-income state employees who would otherwise be eligible for the program. Finally, language provides the department with the authority to implement the necessary changes prior to the completion of the regulatory process.
