1 Northwest Health Law Advocates Health Care Access in the Washington Legislature Final Biennial Budget : Selected Provisions of Interest Note: This chart does not include funding for enacted bills that are included in the NoHLA 2015 Legislative Summary. See the Summary for information on those items. Item HEALTH CARE AUTHORITY Community Health Centers/I-502 ACA CHIP Match Customer Service Staff Eligibility Staff Bleeding Disorders CHP Immunizations Initiative 502, passed by voters in 2012, authorizes the regulation, sale, and taxation of marijuana for adults over the age of 21. The initiative directed a portion of the tax revenue to fund primary, dental, migrant, and maternity health care services through contracts with community health centers. The Health Care Authority will use the tax revenue in lieu of state general fund payments to community health centers for services provided to medical assistance clients. The federal Affordable Care Act (ACA) provides a 23 percent increase to the federal match rate for the Children's Health Insurance Program starting October 1, 2016, and lasting through September 30, This will increase Washington's match rate from 65 percent to 88 percent. Funding is provided to address increasing call volumes due to the Medicaid expansion and restoration of adult dental benefits. This increase will cover costs related to the higher volume of incoming calls to the toll-free line and necessary translation fees. Implementation of the ACA resulted in the enrollment of new Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) clients. The accelerated enrollment rate has increased eligibility staff workloads. Funding is provided to support timely resolution of eligibility-related client issues. Funding is provided to establish a Bleeding Disorder Collaborative for Care to identify and develop evidence based practices to improve care for patients with bleeding disorders. Funding is provided to work with the Department of Health to acquire vaccines for approximately 18,500 children enrolled in state-funded Apple Health (Children's Health Program). -17, , ,000 3, , ,343 2,343 HBE Call Center Funding is provided for the Exchange's customer support call center. 0 9,824 HBE In-Person Assisters Funding is provided for in-person assisters that provide information to help individuals and families complete their Washington Healthplanfinder applications and enroll in health insurance coverage. 1,387 6,382 1

With implementation of the Modified Adjusted Gross Income rules for Medicaid eligibility determinations, eligibility for a majority of medical assistance clients is now processed through the HPF website and other related systems. Funding is provided for anticipated Medicaid-related costs for operations and system maintenance.

Funding, in addition to that for IT, call center, and in-person assistance, is provided to support the Exchange's operations including consulting and auditing work, marketing, and printing. The Health Care Authority received more grant funding than anticipated to implement the State Health Care Innovation Plan, now called the Healthier Washington program. Health Homes is an existing pilot program that integrates care within existing systems for highrisk, high-cost adults and children, including those who are dually-eligible for Medicare and Medicaid. Funding for dual eligibles ends September 31, Funding is provided to continue providing Health Homes services for dual eligibles only until December 31, Initiative 502 directed a portion of the revenue from taxes on the sale of marijuana into the Basic Health Trust Account. Those dollars are used in lieu of General Fund-State dollars for capitation payments for Medicaid clients enrolled in managed care plans. The Health Benefit Exchange will stop collecting premium payments from customers on behalf of qualified health plans (QHP), and the QHPs will be responsible for that function.
