SB 433 Children's Medical Security Insurance Plan.
Introduced by: Stanley C. Walker | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Virginia Children's Medical Security Insurance Plan. Conforms Virginia's children's insurance plan to the new Title XXI of the federal Social Security Act by expanding Virginia Medicaid to provide coverage of children up to the age of 19 who have family incomes at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty guidelines and are otherwise eligible for this program in accordance with the federal law. The appropriation act will establish the specific level of eligibility. The Board is authorized to submit emergency regulations through language requiring the initial set of regulations within 280 days of enactment. The section prohibiting an entitlement for this program is repealed. This program was established in statute in 1997, but has not been implemented since approximately one year was necessary to generate funds and develop the program. The funding was to have been those moneys generated by an increase in the premium taxes paid by certain insurance companies. These funds and the trust into which they are deposited are preserved in this provision and may be used to fund the new Medicaid expansion. The Department of Medical Assistance Services is directed in a second enactment to apply for a waiver to provide for premiums and copayments on a sliding fee scale for children having families with incomes above 150 percent of the federal poverty guidelines. If the waiver is not granted, the Title XXI plan must include Medicaid benefits and income methodologies but charge premiums and copayments on a sliding fee scale for children in families above 150 percent of the federal poverty level. This bill is identical to HB 1074.
