    • Restrictions exist on the proportion of Medicare or Medicaid-eligible individuals within HMO enrollment.
    • Administrative complexities and payment uncertainties hinder the utilization of HMOs in Medicaid programs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To implement Section 2178 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981.
    • To encourage greater adoption of HMOs and Prepaid Health Plans (PHPs) by Medicaid agencies.
    • To reduce administrative burdens and facilitate the use of HMOs within the Medicaid program.

    Main Methods:

  • Introducing regulations that allow risk-based contracts with a broader range of HMOs.
  • Easing requirements on the proportion of eligible enrollees in HMOs.

    • Main Results:

    • Medicaid agencies can now contract with HMOs not meeting all Federal qualification requirements.
    • Requirements limiting the proportion of Medicare/Medicaid-eligible enrollees are eased.
    • States can continue Medicaid benefits for up to six months for individuals enrolled in Federally qualified HMOs, regardless of temporary Medicaid eligibility loss.

    Conclusions:

    • The revised regulations facilitate increased participation of HMOs in Medicaid.
    • Continued coverage options improve administrative stability for both enrollees and providers.
    • These changes aim to enhance the efficiency and accessibility of healthcare services through HMOs for Medicaid beneficiaries.
