SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Virginia Children's Medical Security Insurance Plan. Requires the Board of Medical Assistance Services to promulgate regulations addressing eligibility which include, but need not be limited to: (i) a waiting period for previously insured children of not more than six months when such individuals have family incomes above 150 percent of the federal poverty level; (ii) a two-month waiting period for previously insured children when such individuals have family incomes at or below 150 percent of the federal poverty level; and (iii) a request for assignment of third-party payments and medical support rights to the state and for cooperation with the state in securing such payments, as well as child support payments; however, the granting of such assignment and cooperation shall not be a condition of eligibility. In a second enactment clause, the Board of Medical Assistance Services is required to promulgate emergency regulations for these provisions (within 280 days of its enactment), and the Department of Medical Assistance Services is required to develop and submit to the federal Secretary of Health and Human Services the revisions to Virginia's Title XXI plan to implement the provisions of this act within 90 days of its enactment. Certain eligibillity provisions of HB1253 were incorporated in HB1489.
