It is assumed that, if approved, the waiver currently submitted to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) would partially satisfy the requirements of this bill. It is assumed no more than 21,000 total clients would be served in the medications waiver. It is also assumed that benefits are limited to those described in the waiver application dated October 2000. The average cost for services is assumed to be $3,821 per year, as per the waiver application. It is assumed that 12,697 participants would not be served.
General Revenue savings in the table above result from no longer serving 12,697 clients in General Revenue-funded programs at the Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation (TDMHMR). Expenditures for this group is estimated to be $39,219,799 per year. It is assumed these clients would be served in the new waiver program. It is estimated that 3 new FTEs would be needed at TDMHMR for support of the new waiver program. Salaries and benefits total $179,636 annually.
The federal matching rate is assumed to be 60.2 percent in fiscal year 2004, 60.56 percent in fiscal year 2005, and 60.59 percent in the remaining years.
