Description
|
Funds the full costs of the new Medicaid call center. In the 2013 Session, $1.5 million was initially funded as a down payment until the full contract cost was developed. This call center is a requirement of the federal Affordable Care Act, which requires states to accept telephonic applications for Medicaid; a capability the state did not previously have. A portion of the costs of the call center contract are being offset by reallocating the funding for the FAMIS call center, which is partially integrated into this new center. |
