IN RE: | HB2722 by Perry (Relating to the state Medicaid program as the payor of last resort.), As Introduced |
The bill would require the executive commissioner of the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to adopt rules to ensure, to the extent allowed by federal law, that the Medicaid program is the payor of last resort.
It is assumed that HHSC could absorb the cost of implementing the the bill with existing resources. The Department of Aging and Disability Services and the Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services indicate there would be no fiscal impact for implementing the provisions of the bill.
