Today, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) published the proposed Basic Health Program federal funding methodology for program year 2023. This provides the methodology and data sources necessary to determine federal payment amounts for program year 2023 to states that elect to establish a Basic Health Program to offer health benefits coverage to low-income individuals otherwise eligible to purchase coverage through Affordable Insurance Exchanges. Separate and apart from the funding methodology, there are also two federal regulation proposed changes related to the publication of the BHP payment methodology. The proposals will have a 30-day comment period. Proposed Basic Health Program Funding Methodology for Program Year 2023 |
