PART II
HUMAN SERVICES
NEW SECTION. Sec. 201. FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL AND HEALTH SERVICES
(1) The appropriations to the department of social and health services in this act shall be expended for the programs and in the amounts specified in this act. Appropriations made in this act to the department of social and health services shall initially be allotted as required by this act. Subsequent allotment modifications shall not include transfers of moneys between sections of this act except as expressly provided in this act, nor shall allotment modifications permit moneys that are provided solely for a specified purpose to be used for other than that purpose.
(2) The department of social and health services shall not initiate any services that require expenditure of state general fund moneys unless expressly authorized in this act or other law. The department may seek, receive, and spend, under RCW 43.79.260 through 43.79.282, federal moneys not anticipated in this act as long as the federal funding does not require expenditure of state moneys for the program in excess of amounts anticipated in this act. If the department receives unanticipated unrestricted federal moneys, those moneys shall be spent for services authorized in this act or in any other legislation providing appropriation authority, and an equal amount of appropriated state general fund moneys shall lapse. Upon the lapsing of any moneys under this subsection, the office of financial management shall notify the legislative fiscal committees. As used in this subsection, "unrestricted federal moneys" includes block grants and other funds that federal law does not require to be spent on specifically defined projects or matched on a formula basis by state funds.
(3)(a) The health care authority and the department are authorized to develop an integrated health care program designed to slow the progression of illness and disability and better manage medicaid expenditures for the aged and disabled population. Under the Washington medicaid integration partnership (WMIP) and the medicare integrated care project (MICP), the health care authority and the department may combine and transfer such medicaid funds appropriated under sections 204, 206, 208, and 213 of this act as may be necessary to finance a unified health care plan for the WMIP and the MICP program enrollment. The WMIP pilot projects shall not exceed a daily enrollment of 6,000 persons, nor expand beyond one county during the 2013-2015 fiscal biennium. The amount of funding assigned from each program may not exceed the average per capita cost assumed in this act for individuals covered by that program, actuarially adjusted for the health condition of persons enrolled, times the number of clients enrolled. In implementing the WMIP and the MICP, the health care authority and the department may: (i) Withhold from calculations of "available resources" as set forth in RCW 71.24.025 a sum equal to the capitated rate for enrolled individuals; and (ii) employ capitation financing and risk-sharing arrangements in collaboration with health care service contractors licensed by the office of the insurance commissioner and qualified to participate in both the medicaid and medicare programs.
(b) If Washington has been selected to participate in phase two of the federal demonstration project for persons dually-eligible for both medicare and medicaid, the department and the authority may initiate the MICP. Participation in the project shall be limited to persons who are eligible for both medicare and medicaid and to counties in which the county legislative authority has agreed to the terms and conditions under which it will operate. The purpose of the project shall be to demonstrate and evaluate ways to improve care while reducing state expenditures for persons enrolled both in medicare and medicaid. To that end, prior to initiating the project, the department and the authority shall assure that state expenditures shall be no greater on either a per person or total basis than the state would otherwise incur. Individuals who are solely eligible for medicaid may also participate if their participation is agreed to by the health care authority, the department, and the county legislative authority.
(4) The legislature finds that medicaid payment rates, as calculated by the department pursuant to the appropriations in this act, bear a reasonable relationship to the costs incurred by efficiently and economically operated facilities for providing quality services and will be sufficient to enlist enough providers so that care and services are available to the extent that such care and services are available to the general population in the geographic area. The legislature finds that cost reports, payment data from the federal government, historical utilization, economic data, and clinical input constitute reliable data upon which to determine the payment rates.
(5) The department shall to the maximum extent practicable use the same system for delivery of spoken-language interpreter services for social services appointments as the one established for medical appointments in section 213 of this act. When contracting directly with an individual to deliver spoken language interpreter services, the department shall only contract with language access providers who are working at a location in the state and who are state-certified or state-authorized, except that when such a provider is not available, the department may use a language access provider who meets other certifications or standards deemed to meet state standards, including interpreters in other states.
(6) The department shall facilitate enrollment under the medicaid expansion for clients applying for or receiving state funded services from the department and its contractors. Prior to open enrollment, the department shall coordinate with the health care authority to provide referrals to the Washington health benefit exchange for clients that will be ineligible for the medicaid expansion but are enrolled in coverage that will be eliminated in the transition to the medicaid expansion.

This reduction shall be distributed as follows:
(i) The $4,077,000 reduction in fiscal year 2014 and $11,723,000 of the reduction in fiscal year 2015 must be distributed among regional support networks based on a formula that equally weights each regional support networks proportion of individuals who become newly eligible and enroll in medicaid under the expansion provisions of the affordable care act in fiscal year 2014 and each regional support network's spending of flexible nonmedicaid funding on services that would be reimbursable for federal medicaid matching funds if provided to medicaid enrollees in the 2011-2013 fiscal biennium.
(ii) The remaining $11,723,000 reduction in fiscal year 2015 must be distributed among regional support networks based on each regional support network's proportion of individuals who become newly eligible and enroll in medicaid under the expansion provisions of the affordable care act through fiscal year 2015.

The appropriations in this section are subject to the following conditions and limitations:
(1) Within the amounts appropriated in this section, the authority shall implement the medicaid expansion defined in the social security act, section 1902(a)(10)(A)(i)(VIII).
(2) The requirements of this subsection apply to the basic health plan. This subsection is null and void and has no further effect upon implementation of the medicaid expansion under subsection (1) of this section.
(a) Within amounts appropriated in this section and sections 205 and 206 of this act, the health care authority shall continue to provide an enhanced basic health plan subsidy for foster parents licensed under chapter 74.15 RCW and workers in state-funded home care programs. Under this enhanced subsidy option, foster parents eligible to participate in the basic health plan as subsidized enrollees and home care workers with family incomes below 200 percent of the federal poverty level shall be allowed to enroll in the basic health plan at the minimum premium amount charged to enrollees with incomes below sixty-five percent of the federal poverty level.
(b) The health care authority shall require organizations and individuals that are paid to deliver basic health plan services and that choose to sponsor enrollment in the subsidized basic health plan to pay 133 percent of the premium amount which would otherwise be due from the sponsored enrollees.
(c) The administrator shall take at least the following actions to assure that persons participating in the basic health plan are eligible for the level of assistance they receive: (a) Require submission of (i) income tax returns, and recent pay history, from all applicants, or (ii) other verifiable evidence of earned and unearned income from those persons not required to file income tax returns; (b) check employment security payroll records at least once every twelve months on all enrollees; (c) require enrollees whose income as indicated by payroll records exceeds that upon which their subsidy is based to document their current income as a condition of continued eligibility; (d) require enrollees for whom employment security payroll records cannot be obtained to document their current income at least once every six months; (e) not reduce gross family income for self-employed persons by noncash-flow expenses such as, but not limited to, depreciation, amortization, and home office deductions, as defined by the United States internal revenue service; and (f) pursue repayment and civil penalties from persons who have received excessive subsidies, as provided in RCW 70.47.060(9).
(d) Enrollment in the subsidized basic health plan shall be limited to only include persons who qualify as subsidized enrollees as defined in RCW 70.47.020 and who (a) qualify for services under 1115 medicaid demonstration project number 11-W-00254/10; or (b) are foster parents licensed under chapter 74.15 RCW.
(3) The legislature finds that medicaid payment rates, as calculated by the health care authority pursuant to the appropriations in this act, bear a reasonable relationship to the costs incurred by efficiently and economically operated facilities for providing quality services and will be sufficient to enlist enough providers so that care and services are available to the extent that such care and services are available to the general population in the geographic area. The legislature finds that the cost reports, payment data from the federal government, historical utilization, economic data, and clinical input constitute reliable data upon which to determine the payment rates.
(4) Based on quarterly expenditure reports and caseload forecasts, if the health care authority estimates that expenditures for the medical assistance program will exceed the appropriations, the health care authority shall take steps including but not limited to reduction of rates or elimination of optional services to reduce expenditures so that total program costs do not exceed the annual appropriation authority.
(5) In determining financial eligibility for medicaid-funded services, the health care authority is authorized to disregard recoveries by Holocaust survivors of insurance proceeds or other assets, as defined in RCW 48.104.030.
(6) The legislature affirms that it is in the state's interest for Harborview medical center to remain an economically viable component of the state's health care system.
(7) When a person is ineligible for medicaid solely by reason of residence in an institution for mental diseases, the health care authority shall provide the person with the same benefits as he or she would receive if eligible for medicaid, using state-only funds to the extent necessary.
(8) $4,261,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2014, $4,261,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2015, and $8,522,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation are provided solely for low-income disproportionate share hospital payments.
(9) $400,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2014, $400,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2015, and $800,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation are provided solely for disproportionate share hospital payments to rural hospitals certified by the centers for medicare and medicaid services as sole community hospitals as of January 1, 2013, with less than one hundred fifty acute care licensed beds in fiscal year 2011 that do not participate in the certified public expenditures program.
(10) $50,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2014 and $50,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2015 are provided solely for grants to rural hospitals in Clallam county that were certified by the centers for medicare and medicaid services as sole community hospitals as of January 1, 2013, with less than one hundred fifty acute care licensed beds in fiscal year 2011.
(11) Within the amounts appropriated in this section, the health care authority shall provide disproportionate share hospital payments to hospitals that provide services to children in the children's health program who are not eligible for services under Title XIX or XXI of the federal social security act due to their citizenship status.
(12) $6,000,000 of the general fund‑-federal appropriation is provided solely for supplemental payments to nursing homes operated by public hospital districts. The public hospital district shall be responsible for providing the required nonfederal match for the supplemental payment, and the payments shall not exceed the maximum allowable under federal rules. It is the legislature's intent that the payments shall be supplemental to and shall not in any way offset or reduce the payments calculated and provided in accordance with part E of chapter 74.46 RCW. It is the legislature's further intent that costs otherwise allowable for rate-setting and settlement against payments under chapter 74.46 RCW shall not be disallowed solely because such costs have been paid by revenues retained by the nursing home from these supplemental payments. The supplemental payments are subject to retrospective interim and final cost settlements based on the nursing homes' as-filed and final medicare cost reports. The timing of the interim and final cost settlements shall be at the health care authority's discretion. During either the interim cost settlement or the final cost settlement, the health care authority shall recoup from the public hospital districts the supplemental payments that exceed the medicaid cost limit and/or the medicare upper payment limit. The health care authority shall apply federal rules for identifying the eligible incurred medicaid costs and the medicare upper payment limit.
(13) The health care authority shall continue the inpatient hospital certified public expenditures program for the 2013-2015 fiscal biennium. The program shall apply to all public hospitals, including those owned or operated by the state, except those classified as critical access hospitals or state psychiatric institutions. The health care authority shall submit reports to the governor and legislature by November 1, 2013, and by November 1, 2014, that evaluate whether savings continue to exceed costs for this program. If the certified public expenditures (CPE) program in its current form is no longer cost-effective to maintain, the health care authority shall submit a report to the governor and legislature detailing cost-effective alternative uses of local, state, and federal resources as a replacement for this program. During fiscal year 2014 and fiscal year 2015, hospitals in the program shall be paid and shall retain one hundred percent of the federal portion of the allowable hospital cost for each medicaid inpatient fee-for-service claim payable by medical assistance and one hundred percent of the federal portion of the maximum disproportionate share hospital payment allowable under federal regulations. Inpatient medicaid payments shall be established using an allowable methodology that approximates the cost of claims submitted by the hospitals. Payments made to each hospital in the program in each fiscal year of the biennium shall be compared to a baseline amount. The baseline amount will be determined by the total of (a) the inpatient claim payment amounts that would have been paid during the fiscal year had the hospital not been in the CPE program based on the reimbursement rates developed, implemented, and consistent with policies approved in the 2013-2015 biennial operating appropriations act and in effect on July 1, 2013, (b) one-half of the indigent assistance disproportionate share hospital payment amounts paid to and retained by each hospital during fiscal year 2005, and (c) all of the other disproportionate share hospital payment amounts paid to and retained by each hospital during fiscal year 2005 to the extent the same disproportionate share hospital programs exist in the 2013-2015 fiscal biennium. If payments during the fiscal year exceed the hospital's baseline amount, no additional payments will be made to the hospital except the federal portion of allowable disproportionate share hospital payments for which the hospital can certify allowable match. If payments during the fiscal year are less than the baseline amount, the hospital will be paid a state grant equal to the difference between payments during the fiscal year and the applicable baseline amount. Payment of the state grant shall be made in the applicable fiscal year and distributed in monthly payments. The grants will be recalculated and redistributed as the baseline is updated during the fiscal year. The grant payments are subject to an interim settlement within eleven months after the end of the fiscal year. A final settlement shall be performed. To the extent that either settlement determines that a hospital has received funds in excess of what it would have received as described in this subsection, the hospital must repay the excess amounts to the state when requested. $5,319,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2014, of which $6,570,000 is appropriated in section 204(1) of this act, and $1,141,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2015, of which $6,570,000 is appropriated in section 204(1) of this act, are provided solely for state grants for the participating hospitals.
(14) The health care authority shall seek public-private partnerships and federal funds that are or may become available to provide on-going support for outreach and education efforts under the federal children's health insurance program reauthorization act of 2009.
(15) The health care authority shall target funding for maternity support services towards pregnant women with factors that lead to higher rates of poor birth outcomes, including hypertension, a preterm or low birth weight birth in the most recent previous birth, a cognitive deficit or developmental disability, substance abuse, severe mental illness, unhealthy weight or failure to gain weight, tobacco use, or African American or Native American race. The health care authority shall prioritize evidence-based practices for delivery of maternity support services. To the extent practicable, the health care authority shall develop a mechanism to increase federal funding for maternity support services by leveraging local public funding for those services.
(16) $170,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2014, $121,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2015, and $292,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation are provided solely to implement Engrossed Substitute House Bill No. 1519 (service coordination organizations) and Second Substitute Senate Bill No. 5732 (behavioral health services). If neither of the bills is enacted by June 30, 2013, the amounts provided in this subsection shall lapse.
(17) $57,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2014, $40,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2015, and $55,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation are provided solely to develop a report on state efforts to prevent and control diabetes. The authority, the department of social and health services, and the department of health shall submit a coordinated report to the governor and the appropriate committees of the legislature by December 31, 2014, on the following:
(a) The financial impacts and reach that diabetes of all types and undiagnosed gestational diabetes are having on the programs administered by each agency and individuals, including children with mothers with undiagnosed gestational diabetes, enrolled in those programs.

This program shall be effective as soon as administratively possible and shall operate concurrently with the existing professional services supplemental payment program. The authority shall apply federal rules for identifying the difference between average commercial rates and fee-for-service medicaid payments.

(35) Within the amounts appropriated in this section, the health care authority and the department of social and health services shall implement the state option to provide health homes for enrollees with chronic conditions under section 2703 of the federal affordable care act. The total state match for enrollees who are dually-eligible for both medicare and medicaid and not enrolled in managed care shall be no more than the net savings to the state from the enhanced match rate for its medicaid-only managed care enrollees under section 2703.
(36) The health care authority shall not initiate any services that require expenditure of state general fund moneys unless expressly authorized in this act or other law. The health care authority may seek, receive, and spend, under RCW 43.79.260 through 43.79.282, federal moneys not anticipated in this act as long as the federal funding does not require expenditure of state moneys for the program in excess of amounts anticipated in this act.

(43) $40,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2014 and $40,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation are provided solely for the authority to create a new position to provide adequate oversight and assistance to managed care organizations, rural health clinics, and federally qualified health centers under a new administratively streamlined payment methodology. Effective July 1, 2013, or upon obtaining any necessary federal approval, but in no case during the first quarter of a calendar year, the authority shall implement an administratively streamlined payment methodology for federally qualified health centers and rural health clinics. State payments to managed care organizations shall include the full encounter payments for federally qualified health centers and rural health clinics as defined in the medicaid state plan and in accordance with section 1902(bb) of the social security act (42 U.S.C. 1396a(bb)). For any services eligible for encounter payments, as defined in the medicaid state plan, managed care organizations shall be required to pay at least the full published encounter rates directly to each clinic or center. The authority will require participating managed care organizations to reimburse federally qualified health centers and rural health clinics for clean claims in strict adherence to the timeliness of payment standards established under contract and specified for the medicaid fee-for-service program in section 1902(a)(37) of the social security act (42 U.S.C. 1396a(a)(37)), 42 C.F.R. Sec. 447.46, and specified for health carriers in WAC 284-43-321. The authority shall exercise all necessary options under its existing sanctions policy to enforce timely payment of claims. The authority shall ensure necessary staff and resources are identified to actively monitor and enforce the timeliness and accuracy of payments to federally qualified health centers and rural health clinics. By January 1, 2014, and after collaboration with federally qualified health centers, rural health clinics, managed care plans, and the centers for medicare and medicaid services, the authority will produce a report that provides options for a new payment methodology that rewards innovation and outcomes over volume of services delivered, and which maintains the integrity of the rural health clinic program as outlined under federal law. The report will detail necessary federal authority for implementation and provide the benefits and drawbacks of each option.
(44) Sufficient amounts are appropriated in this section to remove the mental health visit limit and to provide the shingles vaccine and screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment benefits that are available in the medicaid alternative benefit plan in the current medicaid benefit plan beginning January 1, 2014.

(45) The appropriations in this section reflect savings and efficiencies achieved by modifying dispensing methods of contraceptive drugs. The authority must make arrangements for all medicaid programs offered through managed care plans or fee-for-service programs to require dispensing of contraceptive drugs with a one-year supply provided at one time unless a patient requests a smaller supply or the prescribing physician instructs that the patient must receive a smaller supply. Contracts with managed care plans must allow on-site dispensing of the prescribed contraceptive drugs at family planning clinics. Dispensing practices must follow clinical guidelines for appropriate prescribing and dispensing to ensure the health of the patient while maximizing access to effective contraceptive drugs.

(3) The governor shall submit a request for funds necessary to implement the compensation and fringe benefit provisions in the master collective bargaining agreement or for legislation necessary to implement the agreement. Requests for funds necessary to implement the provisions of bargaining agreements shall not be submitted to the legislature by the governor unless such requests:
(a) Have been submitted to the director of the office of financial management by October 1 prior to the legislative session at which the requests are to be considered; and
(b) Have been certified by the director of the office of financial management as being feasible financially for the state.
The legislature shall approve or reject the submission of the request for funds as a whole. The legislature shall not consider a request for funds to implement a collective bargaining agreement unless the request is transmitted to the legislature as part of the governor's budget document submitted under RCW 43.88.030 and 43.88.060. If the legislature rejects or fails to act on the submission, either party may reopen all or part of the agreement or the exclusive bargaining representative may seek to implement the procedures provided for in RCW 41.80.090.
(4)(a)(i) For the purpose of negotiating agreements for institutions of higher education, the employer shall be the respective governing board of each of the universities, colleges, or community colleges or a designee chosen by the board to negotiate on its behalf.

(c)(i) In the case of bargaining agreements reached between institutions of higher education other than the University of Washington and exclusive bargaining representatives agreed to under the provisions of this chapter, if appropriations are necessary to implement the compensation and fringe benefit provisions of the bargaining agreements, the governor shall submit a request for such funds to the legislature according to the provisions of subsection (3) of this section, except as provided in (c)(iii) of this subsection.
(ii) In the case of bargaining agreements reached between the University of Washington and exclusive bargaining representatives agreed to under the provisions of this chapter, if appropriations are necessary to implement the compensation and fringe benefit provisions of a bargaining agreement, the governor shall submit a request for such funds to the legislature according to the provisions of subsection (3) of this section, except as provided in this subsection (4)(c)(ii) and as provided in (c)(iii) of this subsection.
(A) If appropriations of less than ten thousand dollars are necessary to implement the provisions of a bargaining agreement, a request for such funds shall not be submitted to the legislature by the governor unless the request has been submitted to the director of the office of financial management by October 1 prior to the legislative session at which the request is to be considered.

(C) If the director of the office of financial management does not certify a request under (c)(ii)(B) of this subsection as being feasible financially for the state, the parties shall enter into collective bargaining solely for the purpose of reaching a mutually agreed upon modification of the agreement necessary to address the absence of those requested funds. The legislature may act upon the compensation and fringe benefit provisions of the modified collective bargaining agreement if those provisions are agreed upon and submitted to the office of financial management and legislative budget committees before final legislative action on the biennial or supplemental operating budget by the sitting legislature.
(iii) In the case of a bargaining unit of employees of institutions of higher education in which the exclusive bargaining representative is certified during or after the conclusion of a legislative session, the legislature may act upon the compensation and fringe benefit provisions of the unit's initial collective bargaining agreement if those provisions are agreed upon and submitted to the office of financial management and legislative budget committees before final legislative action on the biennial or supplemental operating budget by the sitting legislature.
(5) There is hereby created a joint committee on employment relations, which consists of two members with leadership positions in the house of representatives, representing each of the two largest caucuses; the chair and ranking minority member of the house appropriations committee, or its successor, representing each of the two largest caucuses; two members with leadership positions in the senate, representing each of the two largest caucuses; and the chair and ranking minority member of the senate ways and means committee, or its successor, representing each of the two largest caucuses. The governor shall periodically consult with the committee regarding appropriations necessary to implement the compensation and fringe benefit provisions in the master collective bargaining agreements, and upon completion of negotiations, advise the committee on the elements of the agreements and on any legislation necessary to implement the agreements.
(6) If, after the compensation and fringe benefit provisions of an agreement are approved by the legislature, a significant revenue shortfall occurs resulting in reduced appropriations, as declared by proclamation of the governor or by resolution of the legislature, both parties shall immediately enter into collective bargaining for a mutually agreed upon modification of the agreement.
(7) After the expiration date of a collective bargaining agreement negotiated under this chapter, all of the terms and conditions specified in the collective bargaining agreement remain in effect until the effective date of a subsequently negotiated agreement, not to exceed one year from the expiration date stated in the agreement. Thereafter, the employer may unilaterally implement according to law.
(8) For the ((2011-2013))
2013-2015 fiscal biennium, a collective bargaining agreement related to
employee health care benefits negotiated between the employer and coalition
pursuant to RCW 41.80.020(3) regarding the dollar amount expended on behalf of
each employee shall be a separate agreement for which the governor may request
funds necessary to implement the agreement. ((If such an agreement is
negotiated and funded by the legislature, this agreement will supersede any
terms and conditions of an expired 2009-2011 biennial master collective
bargaining agreement under this chapter regarding health care benefits.)) The
legislature may act upon a 2013-2015 collective bargaining agreement related to
employee health care benefits if an agreement is reached and submitted to the
office of financial management and legislative budget committees before final
legislative action on the biennial or supplemental operating appropriations act
by the sitting legislature.
Sec. 964. RCW 41.80.020 and 2011 1st sp.s. c 50 s 939 and 2011 1st sp.s. c 43 s 445 are each reenacted and amended to read as follows:
(1) Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, the matters subject to bargaining include wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment, and the negotiation of any question arising under a collective bargaining agreement.
(2) The employer is not required to bargain over matters pertaining to:
(a) Health care benefits or other employee insurance benefits, except as required in subsection (3) of this section;
(b) Any retirement system or retirement benefit; or

(3) Matters subject
to bargaining include the number of names to be certified for vacancies,
promotional preferences, and the dollar amount expended on behalf of each
employee for health care benefits. However, except as provided otherwise in
this subsection for institutions of higher education, negotiations regarding
the number of names to be certified for vacancies, promotional preferences, and
the dollar amount expended on behalf of each employee for health care benefits
shall be conducted between the employer and one coalition of all the exclusive
bargaining representatives subject to this chapter. The exclusive bargaining
representatives for employees that are subject to chapter 47.64 RCW shall
bargain the dollar amount expended on behalf of each employee for health care
benefits with the employer as part of the coalition under this subsection. Any
such provision agreed to by the employer and the coalition shall be included in
all master collective bargaining agreements negotiated by the parties. For
institutions of higher education, promotional preferences and the number of
names to be certified for vacancies shall be bargained under the provisions of
RCW 41.80.010(4). For agreements covering the ((2011-2013)) 2013-2015
fiscal biennium, any agreement between the employer and the coalition regarding
the dollar amount expended on behalf of each employee for health care benefits
is a separate agreement and shall not be included in the master collective
bargaining agreements negotiated by the parties.
(4) The employer and the exclusive bargaining representative shall not agree to any proposal that would prevent the implementation of approved affirmative action plans or that would be inconsistent with the comparable worth agreement that provided the basis for the salary changes implemented beginning with the 1983-1985 biennium to achieve comparable worth.
(5) The employer and the exclusive bargaining representative shall not bargain over matters pertaining to management rights established in RCW 41.80.040.
(6) Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, if a conflict exists between an executive order, administrative rule, or agency policy relating to wages, hours, and terms and conditions of employment and a collective bargaining agreement negotiated under this chapter, the collective bargaining agreement shall prevail. A provision of a collective bargaining agreement that conflicts with the terms of a statute is invalid and unenforceable.
(7) This section does not prohibit bargaining that affects contracts authorized by RCW 41.06.142.
Sec. 965. RCW 43.08.190 and 2011 1st sp.s. c 50 s 941 are each amended to read as follows:

Moneys shall be allocated monthly and placed in the state treasurer's service fund equivalent to a maximum of one percent of the trust and treasury average daily cash balances from the earnings generated under the authority of RCW 43.79A.040 and 43.84.080 other than earnings generated from investment of balances in funds and accounts specified in RCW 43.79A.040(4)(c). The allocation shall precede the distribution of the remaining earnings as prescribed under RCW 43.79A.040 and 43.84.092. The state treasurer shall establish a uniform allocation rate for all funds and accounts; except that the state treasurer may negotiate a different allocation rate with any state agency that has independent authority over funds not statutorily required to be held in the state treasury or in the custody of the state treasurer. In no event shall the rate be less than the actual costs incurred by the state treasurer's office. If no rate is separately negotiated, the default rate for any funds held shall be the rate set for funds held pursuant to statute.
During the 2009-2011
fiscal biennium and the 2011-2013 and 2013- 2015 fiscal ((biennium))
biennia, the legislature may transfer from the state treasurer's service

The revolving fund is subject to the allotment procedure provided under chapter 43.88 RCW. The chief information officer or the chief information officer's designee, with the approval of the technology services board, is authorized to expend up to one million dollars per fiscal biennium for the technology services board to conduct independent technical and financial analysis of proposed information technology projects, and such an expenditure does not require an appropriation. Disbursements from the revolving fund for the services component of the department are not subject to appropriation. Disbursements for the strategic planning and policy component of the department are subject to appropriation. All disbursements from the fund are subject to the allotment procedures provided under chapter 43.88 RCW.

Sec. 973. RCW 43.82.010 and 2007 c 506 s 8 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) The director of
((general administration)) enterprise services, on behalf of the
agency involved and after consultation with the office of financial management,
shall purchase, lease, lease purchase, rent, or otherwise acquire all real
estate, improved or unimproved, as may be required by elected state officials,
institutions, departments, commissions, boards, and other state agencies, or
federal agencies where joint state and federal activities are undertaken and
may grant easements and transfer, exchange, sell, lease, or sublease all or
part of any surplus real estate for those state agencies which do not otherwise
have the specific authority to dispose of real estate. This section does not
transfer financial liability for the acquired property to the department of ((general
administration)) enterprise services.
(2) Except for real
estate occupied by federal agencies, the director shall determine the location,
size, and design of any real estate or improvements thereon acquired or held
pursuant to subsection (1) of this section. Facilities acquired or held
pursuant to this chapter, and any improvements thereon, shall conform to
standards adopted by the director and approved by the office of financial
management governing facility efficiency unless a specific exemption from such
standards is provided by the director of ((general administration)) enterprise
services. The director of ((general administration)) enterprise
services shall report to the office of financial management and the
appropriate committees of the legislature annually on any exemptions granted
pursuant to this subsection.
(3) The director of
((general administration)) enterprise services may fix the terms
and conditions of each lease entered into under this chapter, except that no
lease shall extend greater than twenty years in duration. The director of ((general
administration)) enterprise services may enter into a long-term
lease greater than ten years in duration upon a determination by the director
of the office of financial management that the long-term lease provides a more
favorable rate than would otherwise be available, it appears to a substantial
certainty that the facility is necessary for use by the state for the full
length of the lease term, and the facility meets the standards adopted pursuant
to subsection (2) of this section. The director of ((general administration))
enterprise services may enter into a long- term lease greater than ten
years in duration if an analysis shows that the life-cycle cost of leasing the
facility is less than the life-cycle cost of purchasing or constructing a
facility in lieu of leasing the facility.
(4) Except as
permitted under chapter 39.94 RCW, no lease for or on behalf of any state
agency may be used or referred to as collateral or security for the payment of
securities offered for sale through a public offering. Except as permitted
under chapter 39.94 RCW, no lease for or on behalf of any state agency may be used
or referred to as collateral or security for the payment of securities offered
for sale through a private placement without the prior written approval of the
state treasurer. However, this limitation shall not prevent a lessor from
assigning or encumbering its interest in a lease as security for the repayment
of a promissory note provided that the transaction would otherwise be an exempt
transaction under RCW 21.20.320. The state treasurer shall adopt rules that
establish the criteria under which any such approval may be granted. In
establishing such criteria the state treasurer shall give primary consideration
to the protection of the state's credit rating and the integrity of the state's
debt management program. If it appears to the state treasurer that any lease
has been used or referred to in violation of this subsection or rules adopted
under this subsection, then he or she may recommend that the governor cause
such lease to be terminated. The department of ((general administration))
enterprise services shall promptly notify the state treasurer whenever
it may appear to the department that any lease has been used or referred to in
violation of this subsection or rules adopted under this subsection.
(5) It is the policy of the state to encourage the colocation and consolidation of state services into single or adjacent facilities, whenever appropriate, to improve public service delivery, minimize duplication of facilities, increase efficiency of operations, and promote sound growth management planning.
(6) The director of
((general administration)) enterprise services shall provide
coordinated long-range planning services to identify and evaluate opportunities
for colocating and consolidating state facilities. Upon the renewal of any lease,
the inception of a new lease, or the purchase of a facility, the director of ((general
administration)) enterprise services shall determine whether an
opportunity exists for colocating the agency or agencies in a single facility
with other agencies located in the same geographic area. If a colocation
opportunity exists, the director of ((general administration)) enterprise
services shall consult with the affected state agencies and the office of
financial management to evaluate the impact colocation would have on the cost
and delivery of agency programs, including whether program delivery would be
enhanced due to the centralization of services. The director of ((general
administration)) enterprise services, in consultation with the
office of financial management, shall develop procedures for implementing
colocation and consolidation of state facilities.
(7) The director of
((general administration)) enterprise services is authorized to
purchase, lease, rent, or otherwise acquire improved or unimproved real estate
as owner or lessee and to lease or sublet all or a part of such real estate to
state or federal agencies. The director of ((general administration)) enterprise
services shall charge each using agency its proportionate rental which
shall include an amount sufficient to pay all costs, including, but not limited
to, those for utilities, janitorial and accounting services, and sufficient to
provide for contingencies; which shall not exceed five percent of the average
annual rental, to meet unforeseen expenses incident to management of the real
estate.
(8) If the director
of ((general administration)) enterprise services determines that
it is necessary or advisable to undertake any work, construction, alteration,
repair, or improvement on any real estate acquired pursuant to subsection (1)
or (7) of this section, the director shall cause plans and specifications
thereof and an estimate of the cost of such work to be made and filed in his or
her office and the state agency benefiting thereby is hereby authorized to pay
for such work out of any available funds: PROVIDED, That the cost of executing
such work shall not exceed the sum of twenty-five thousand dollars. Work,
construction, alteration, repair, or improvement in excess of twenty-five thousand
dollars, other than that done by the owner of the property if other than the
state, shall be performed in accordance with the public works law of this
state.
(9) In order to
obtain maximum utilization of space, the director of ((general
administration)) enterprise services shall make space utilization
studies, and shall establish standards for use of space by state agencies.
Such studies shall include the identification of opportunities for colocation
and consolidation of state agency office and support facilities.

PART XII
HUMAN SERVICES
Sec. 1201. 2012 2nd sp.s. c 7 s 201 (uncodified) is amended to read as follows:
FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL AND HEALTH SERVICES
(1) The appropriations to the department of social and health services in this act shall be expended for the programs and in the amounts specified in this act. Appropriations made in this act to the department of social and health services shall initially be allotted as required by this act. Subsequent allotment modifications shall not include transfers of moneys between sections of this act except as expressly provided in this act, nor shall allotment modifications permit moneys that are provided solely for a specified purpose to be used for other than that purpose.
(2) The department of social and health services shall not initiate any services that require expenditure of state general fund moneys unless expressly authorized in this act or other law. The department may seek, receive, and spend, under RCW 43.79.260 through 43.79.282, federal moneys not anticipated in this act as long as the federal funding does not require expenditure of state moneys for the program in excess of amounts anticipated in this act. If the department receives unanticipated unrestricted federal moneys, those moneys shall be spent for services authorized in this act or in any other legislation providing appropriation authority, and an equal amount of appropriated state general fund moneys shall lapse. Upon the lapsing of any moneys under this subsection, the office of financial management shall notify the legislative fiscal committees. As used in this subsection, "unrestricted federal moneys" includes block grants and other funds that federal law does not require to be spent on specifically defined projects or matched on a formula basis by state funds.
(3)(a) The health care authority and the department are authorized to develop an integrated health care program designed to slow the progression of illness and disability and better manage medicaid expenditures for the aged and disabled population. Under the Washington medicaid integration partnership (WMIP) and the medicare integrated care project (MICP), the health care authority and the department may combine and transfer such medicaid funds appropriated under sections 204, 206, 208, and 213 of this act as may be necessary to finance a unified health care plan for the WMIP and the MICP program enrollment. The WMIP pilot projects shall not exceed a daily enrollment of 6,000 persons, nor expand beyond one county during the 2011-2013 fiscal biennium. The amount of funding assigned from each program may not exceed the average per capita cost assumed in this act for individuals covered by that program, actuarially adjusted for the health condition of persons enrolled, times the number of clients enrolled. In implementing the WMIP and the MICP, the health care authority and the department may: (i) Withhold from calculations of "available resources" as set forth in RCW 71.24.025 a sum equal to the capitated rate for enrolled individuals; and (ii) employ capitation financing and risk-sharing arrangements in collaboration with health care service contractors licensed by the office of the insurance commissioner and qualified to participate in both the medicaid and medicare programs. The health care authority and the department shall conduct an evaluation of the WMIP by October 15, 2012, and of the MICP measuring changes in participant health outcomes, changes in patterns of service utilization, participant satisfaction, participant access to services, and the state fiscal impact.
(b) Effective January 1, 2013, if Washington has been selected to participate in phase two of the federal demonstration project for persons dually-eligible for both medicare and medicaid, the department and the authority may initiate the MICP. Participation in the project shall be limited to persons who are eligible for both medicare and medicaid and to counties in which the county legislative authority has agreed to the terms and conditions under which it will operate. The purpose of the project shall be to demonstrate and evaluate ways to improve care while reducing state expenditures for persons enrolled both in medicare and medicaid. To that end, prior to initiating the project, the department and the authority shall assure that state expenditures shall be no greater on either a per person or total basis than the state would otherwise incur. Individuals who are solely eligible for medicaid may also participate if their participation is agreed to by the health care authority, the department, and the county legislative authority.
(4) The legislature finds that medicaid payment rates, as calculated by the department pursuant to the appropriations in this act, bear a reasonable relationship to the costs incurred by efficiently and economically operated facilities for providing quality services and will be sufficient to enlist enough providers so that care and services are available to the extent that such care and services are available to the general population in the geographic area. The legislature finds that cost reports, payment data from the federal government, historical utilization, economic data, and clinical input constitute reliable data upon which to determine the payment rates.
(5) The department shall to the maximum extent practicable use the same system for delivery of spoken-language interpreter services for social services appointments as the one established for medical appointments in section 213 of this act. When contracting directly with an individual to deliver spoken language interpreter services, the department shall only contract with language access providers who are working at a location in the state and who are state-certified or state-authorized, except that when such a provider is not available, the department may use a language access provider who meets other certifications or standards deemed to meet state standards, including interpreters in other states.
(6)(a) The
appropriations to the department of social and health services in this act
shall be expended for the programs and in the amounts specified in this act.
However, after May 1, ((2012)) 2013, unless specifically
prohibited by this act, the department may transfer general fund--state
appropriations for fiscal year ((2012)) 2013 among programs after
approval by the director of financial management. However, the department
shall not transfer state moneys that are provided solely for a specified
purpose except as expressly provided in (b) of this subsection.
(b) To the extent
that transfers under (a) of this subsection are insufficient to fund actual
expenditures in excess of fiscal year ((2012)) 2013 caseload
forecasts and utilization assumptions in the long-term care, foster care,
adoptions support, medicaid personal care, and child support programs, the
department may transfer state moneys that are provided solely for a specified
purpose. The department shall not transfer funds, and the director of
financial management shall not approve the transfer, unless the transfer is
consistent with the objective of conserving, to the maximum extent possible,
the expenditure of state funds. The director of financial management shall
notify the appropriate fiscal committees of the senate and house of
representatives in writing seven days prior to approving any allotment
modifications or transfers under this subsection. The written notification
shall include a narrative explanation and justification of the changes, along
with expenditures and allotments by budget unit and appropriation, both before
and after any allotment modifications or transfers.

(7)(a) The juvenile rehabilitation administration shall administer a block grant, rather than categorical funding, of consolidated juvenile service funds, community juvenile accountability act grants, the chemical dependency disposition alternative funds, the mental health disposition alternative, and the sentencing disposition alternative for the purpose of serving youth adjudicated in the juvenile justice system. In making the block grant, the juvenile rehabilitation administration shall follow the following formula and will prioritize evidence-based programs and disposition alternatives and take into account juvenile courts program-eligible youth in conjunction with the number of youth served in each approved evidence- based program or disposition alternative: (i) Thirty-seven and one- half percent for the at-risk population of youth ten to seventeen years old; (ii) fifteen percent for moderate and high-risk youth; (iii) twenty-five percent for evidence-based program participation; (iv) seventeen and one-half percent for minority populations; (v) three percent for the chemical dependency disposition alternative; and (vi) two percent for the mental health and sentencing dispositional alternatives. Funding for the special sex offender disposition alternative (SSODA) shall not be included in the block grant, but allocated on the average daily population in juvenile courts. Funding for the evidence-based expansion grants shall be excluded from the block grant formula. Funds may be used for promising practices when approved by the juvenile rehabilitation administration and juvenile courts, through the community juvenile accountability act committee, based on the criteria established in consultation with Washington state institute for public policy and the juvenile courts.
(b) The juvenile rehabilitation administration shall phase the implementation of the formula provided in subsection (1) of this section by including a stop-loss formula of five percent in fiscal year 2012 and five percent in fiscal year 2013.
(c) The juvenile rehabilitation administration and the juvenile courts shall establish a block grant funding formula oversight committee with equal representation from the juvenile rehabilitation administration and the juvenile courts. The purpose of this committee is to assess the ongoing implementation of the block grant funding formula, utilizing data-driven decision making and the most current available information. The committee will be cochaired by the juvenile rehabilitation administration and the juvenile courts, who will also have the ability to change members of the committee as needed to achieve its purpose. Initial members will include one juvenile court representative from the finance committee, the community juvenile accountability act committee, the risk assessment quality assurance committee, the executive board of the Washington association of juvenile court administrators, the Washington state center for court research, and a representative of the superior court judges association; two representatives from the juvenile rehabilitation administration headquarters program oversight staff, two representatives of the juvenile rehabilitation administration regional office staff, one representative of the juvenile rehabilitation administration fiscal staff and a juvenile rehabilitation administration division director. The committee may make changes to the formula categories other than the evidence-based program and disposition alternative categories if it is determined the changes will increase statewide service delivery or effectiveness of evidence-based program or disposition alternative resulting in increased cost benefit savings to the state. Long-term cost benefit must be considered. Percentage changes may occur in the evidence-based program or disposition alternative categories of the formula should it be determined the changes will increase evidence-based program or disposition alternative delivery and increase the cost benefit to the state. These outcomes will also be considered in determining when evidence-based expansion or special sex offender disposition alternative funds should be included in the block grant or left separate.
(d) The juvenile courts and administrative office of the courts shall be responsible for collecting and distributing information and providing access to the data systems to the juvenile rehabilitation administration and the Washington state institute for public policy related to program and outcome data. The juvenile rehabilitation administration and the juvenile courts will work collaboratively to develop program outcomes that reinforce the greatest cost benefit to the state in the implementation of evidence-based practices and disposition alternatives.
(8) The juvenile courts and administrative office of the courts shall collect and distribute information related to program outcome and provide access to these data systems to the juvenile rehabilitation administration and Washington state institute for public policy. Consistent with chapter 13.50 RCW, all confidentiality agreements necessary to implement this information-sharing shall be approved within 30 days of the effective date of this section. The agreements between administrative office of the courts, the juvenile courts, and the juvenile rehabilitation administration shall be executed to ensure that the juvenile rehabilitation administration receives the data that the juvenile rehabilitation administration identifies as needed to comply with this subsection. This includes, but is not limited to, information by program at the statewide aggregate level, individual court level, and individual client level for the purpose of the juvenile rehabilitation administration providing quality assurance and oversight for the locally committed youth block grant and associated funds and at times as specified by the juvenile rehabilitation administration as necessary to carry out these functions. The data shall be provided in a manner that reflects the collaborative work the juvenile rehabilitation administration and juvenile courts have developed regarding program outcomes that reinforce the greatest cost benefit to the state in the implementation of evidence-based practices and disposition alternatives.
(9) The Washington association of juvenile court administrators and the juvenile rehabilitation administration, in consultation with the community juvenile accountability act advisory committee and the Washington state institute for public policy, shall analyze and review data elements available from the administrative office of the courts for possible integration into the evidence-based program quality assurance plans and processes. The administrative office of the courts, the Washington association of juvenile court administrators, and the juvenile rehabilitation administration shall provide information necessary to complete the review and analysis. The Washington association of juvenile court administrators and the juvenile rehabilitation administration shall report the findings of their review and analysis, as well as any recommendations, to the legislature by December 1, 2012.

This is a reduction of $4,348,000 each fiscal year from the nonmedicaid funding that was allocated for expenditure by regional support networks during fiscal year 2011 prior to supplemental budget reductions. This $4,348,000 reduction shall be distributed among regional support networks proportional to each network's share of the total state population. To the extent possible, levels of regional support network spending shall be maintained in the following priority order: (i) Crisis and commitment services; (ii) community inpatient services; and (iii) residential care services, including personal care and emergency housing assistance.
(b) $6,590,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2012, $6,590,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2013, and $7,620,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation are provided solely for the department and regional support networks to continue to contract for implementation of high- intensity programs for assertive community treatment (PACT) teams.

The department may allow regional support networks which have nonmedicaid reimbursable costs that are higher than the nonmedicaid allocation they receive under this section to supplement these funds with local dollars or funds received under section 204(1)(a) of this act. The department and regional support networks shall maintain consistency with all essential elements of the PACT evidence-based practice model in programs funded under this section.

medicaid match, provided the locally matched rate does not exceed the
upper-bound of their federally allowable rate range, and provided that the
enhanced funding is used only to provide medicaid state plan or waiver services
to medicaid clients. Additionally, regional support networks may use a portion
of the state funds allocated in accordance with (a) of this subsection to earn
additional medicaid match, but only to the extent that the application of such
funds to medicaid services does not diminish the level of crisis and
commitment, community inpatient, residential care, and outpatient services
presently available to persons not eligible for medicaid.
(((l))) (k)
Given the recent approval of federal medicaid matching funds for the disability
lifeline and the alcohol and drug abuse treatment support act programs, the
department shall charge regional support networks for only the state share

enrolled in those programs.

2013 and (($104,669,000)) $107,535,000 of the general
fund--federal appropriation are provided solely for the department to provide

Information provided to the client and the client's legal representative shall include the types of activities each service option provides, and the amount, scope, and duration of service for which the client would be eligible under each service option. An individual client may be authorized for only one service option, either employment services or community access services. Clients may not participate in more than one of these services at any given time.

(j) Clients with developmental disabilities have demonstrated a need and a desire for a day services program as verified by over 900 clients currently accessing day programs through a long-term care service model. In addition, every individual, to include those with a developmental disability, should have the opportunity for meaningful employment which allows them to contribute to their communities and to become as self-sufficient as possible. Providing choice empowers recipients of publicly funded services and their families by expanding their degree of control over the services and supports they need.
The department shall work with legislators and stakeholders to develop a new approach to employment and day services. The objective of this plan is to ensure that adults with developmental disabilities have optimum choices, and that employment and day offerings are comprehensive enough to meet the needs of all clients currently served on a home and community based waiver. The proposal shall be submitted to the 2012 legislature for consideration and shall be constructed such that a client ultimately receives employment, community access, or the community day option but not more than one service at a time. The proposal shall include options for program efficiencies within the current employment and day structure and shall provide details on the plan to implement a consistent, statewide outcome-based vendor contract for employment and day services as specified in (c) of this subsection.

the biennial appropriations act shall not be compounded with the economic
trends and conditions factor or factors defined in any other biennial
appropriations acts before applying it to the component rate allocations
established in accordance with chapter 74.46 RCW. When no economic trends and
conditions factor for either fiscal year is defined in a biennial
appropriations act, no economic trends and conditions factor or factors defined
in any earlier biennial appropriations act shall be applied solely or
compounded to the component rate allocations established in accordance with
chapter 74.46 RCW.
(a) Within the funds provided, the department shall continue to provide an add-on per medicaid resident day per facility not to exceed $1.57. The add-on shall be used to increase wages, benefits, and/or staffing levels for certified nurse aides; or to increase wages and/or benefits for dietary aides, housekeepers, laundry aides, or any other category of worker whose statewide average dollars-per-hour wage was less than $15 in calendar year 2008, according to cost report data.

If the facility-based payment rate calculated on July 1, 2012, is smaller than the facility-based payment rate on June 30, 2010, then the difference shall be provided to the individual nursing facilities as an add-on payment per medicaid resident day.
(c) During the comparative analysis performed in subsection (b) of this section, if it is found that the direct care rate for any facility calculated using the payment methodology defined in chapter 74.46 RCW and as funded in the omnibus appropriations act, excluding the comparative add-on, acuity add-on, and safety net reimbursement, is greater than the direct care rate in effect on June 30, 2010, then the facility shall receive a ten percent direct care rate add-on to compensate that facility for taking on more acute clients than they have in the past.
(d) The department shall provide a medicaid rate add-on to reimburse the medicaid share of the skilled nursing facility safety net assessment as a medicaid allowable cost. The nursing facility safety net rate add-on may not be included in the calculation of the annual statewide weighted average nursing facility payment rate.
(e) If the waiver requested from the federal centers for medicare and medicaid services in relation to the safety net assessment created by Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5581 (nursing home payments) is for any reason not approved and implemented, (b), (c), and (d) of this subsection do not apply.
(2) After examining actual nursing facility cost information, the legislature finds that the medicaid nursing facility rates calculated pursuant to Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5581 (nursing home payments) provide sufficient reimbursement to efficiently and economically operating nursing facilities and bear a reasonable relationship to costs.
(3) In accordance with chapter 74.46 RCW, the department shall issue no additional certificates of capital authorization for fiscal year 2012 and no new certificates of capital authorization for fiscal year 2013 and shall grant no rate add-ons to payment rates for capital improvements not requiring a certificate of need and a certificate of capital authorization for fiscal years 2012 and 2013.
(4) The long-term care program may develop and pay enhanced rates for exceptional care to nursing homes for persons with traumatic brain injuries who are transitioning from hospital care. The cost per patient day for caring for these clients in a nursing home setting may be equal to or less than the cost of caring for these clients in a hospital setting.
(5) Amounts appropriated in this section reflect a reduction to funds appropriated for in-home care. The department shall reduce the number of in-home hours authorized. The reduction shall be scaled based on the acuity level of care recipients. The largest hour reductions shall be to lower acuity patients and the smallest hour reductions shall be to higher acuity patients.

Expenditures for the purposes specified in this subsection shall not exceed the amounts provided in this subsection. However, if the governor and the service employees international union healthcare 775nw can reach agreement on repurposing funding that is currently provided in the individual provider collective bargaining agreement for new individual provider wages paid during training or other training related items, then expenditures for training trust contributions for individual providers may include the amounts provided in this subsection and the agreed upon repurposed funding. Funding in this section for purposes other than the individual provider collective bargaining agreement cannot be used for the purposes of this subsection (7). It is the intent of the legislature that the funding provided in this subsection, including any repurposed funding, is sufficient to cover the costs of individual provider training and therefore tuition or other entrance fees are not necessary.

(vii) Recommendations regarding the implementation of a new K-12 employee benefit plan, with separate options for voluntary participation and mandatory statewide participation;
(viii) Recommendations regarding methods to reduce inequities between individual and family coverage;
(ix) Consolidation of the purchasing and budget accountability for school employee benefits to maximize administrative efficiency and leverage existing skills and resources; and
(x) Other details the health care authority deems necessary, including but not limited to recommendations on the following:
(A) Approaches for implementing the transition to a statewide pool, including administrative and statutory changes necessary to ensure a successful transition, and whether the pool should be separate from, or combined with, the public employees' benefits pool;
(B) The structure of a permanent governing group to provide ongoing oversight to the consolidated pool, in a manner similar to the public employees benefits board functions for employee health benefits, including statutory duties and authorities of the board; and
(C) Options for including potential changes to: Eligibility standardization, the public employees benefits risk pools, the movement of school employee retirees into the new K-12 pool or pools, and the movement of educational service district employees into the new K-12 pool or pools.
(d) In determining its costs and benefits of a new statewide K-12 employees' health benefits pool for school districts and school employees, the health care authority shall assume the following:
(i) School district enrollees must constitute an entire bargaining unit, or an entire group of nonrepresented employees;

The health care authority shall not implement the new school employee benefits pool until authorized to do so by the legislature.
(5) The administrator shall take at least the following actions to assure that persons participating in the basic health plan are eligible for the level of assistance they receive: (a) Require submission of (i) income tax returns, and recent pay history, from all applicants, or (ii) other verifiable evidence of earned and unearned income from those persons not required to file income tax returns; (b) check employment security payroll records at least once every twelve months on all enrollees; (c) require enrollees whose income as indicated by payroll records exceeds that upon which their subsidy is based to document their current income as a condition of continued eligibility; (d) require enrollees for whom employment security payroll records cannot be obtained to document their current income at least once every six months; (e) not reduce gross family income for self-employed persons by noncash-flow expenses such as, but not limited to, depreciation, amortization, and home office deductions, as defined by the United States internal revenue service; and (f) pursue repayment and civil penalties from persons who have received excessive subsidies, as provided in RCW 70.47.060(9).
(6) Enrollment in the subsidized basic health plan shall be limited to only include persons who qualify as subsidized enrollees as defined in RCW 70.47.020 and who (a) qualify for services under 1115 medicaid demonstration project number 11-W-00254/10; or (b) are foster parents licensed under chapter 74.15 RCW.
(7) $23,700,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation is provided solely for planning and implementation of a health benefit exchange under the federal patient protection and affordable care act. Within the amounts provided in this subsection, funds used by the authority for information technology projects are conditioned on the authority satisfying the requirements of Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill No. 5931 (central service agencies).
(8) Based on quarterly expenditure reports and caseload forecasts, if the health care authority estimates that expenditures for the medical assistance program will exceed the appropriations, the health care authority shall take steps including but not limited to reduction of rates or elimination of optional services to reduce expenditures so that total program costs do not exceed the annual appropriation authority.

(12) $4,261,000 of
the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2012, $4,261,000 of the
general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2013, and $8,522,000 of the
general fund--federal appropriation are provided solely for low-income
disproportionate share hospital payments ((under RCW 74.09.730(1)(a))).
(13) $6,000,000 of the general fund‑-federal appropriation is provided solely for supplemental payments to nursing homes operated by public hospital districts. The public hospital district shall be responsible for providing the required nonfederal match for the supplemental payment, and the payments shall not exceed the maximum allowable under federal rules. It is the legislature's intent that the payments shall be supplemental to and shall not in any way offset or reduce the payments calculated and provided in accordance with part E of chapter 74.46 RCW. It is the legislature's further intent that costs otherwise allowable for rate-setting and settlement against payments under chapter 74.46 RCW shall not be disallowed solely because such costs have been paid by revenues retained by the nursing home from these supplemental payments. The supplemental payments are subject to retrospective interim and final cost settlements based on the nursing homes' as-filed and final medicare cost reports. The timing of the interim and final cost settlements shall be at the health care authority's discretion. During either the interim cost settlement or the final cost settlement, the health care authority shall recoup from the public hospital districts the supplemental payments that exceed the medicaid cost limit and/or the medicare upper payment limit. The health care authority shall apply federal rules for identifying the eligible incurred medicaid costs and the medicare upper payment limit.
(14) The health care
authority shall continue the inpatient hospital certified public expenditures
program for the 2011-2013 fiscal biennium. The program shall apply to all
public hospitals, including those owned or operated by the state, except those
classified as critical access hospitals or state psychiatric institutions. The
health care authority shall submit reports to the governor and legislature by
November 1, 2011, and by November 1, 2012, that evaluate whether savings
continue to exceed costs for this program. If the certified public
expenditures (CPE) program in its current form is no longer cost-effective to
maintain, the health care authority shall submit a report to the governor and
legislature detailing cost-effective alternative uses of local, state, and
federal resources as a replacement for this program. During fiscal year 2012
and fiscal year 2013, hospitals in the program shall be paid and shall retain
one hundred percent of the federal portion of the allowable hospital cost for
each medicaid inpatient fee-for-service claim payable by medical assistance and
one hundred percent of the federal portion of the maximum disproportionate
share hospital payment allowable under federal regulations. Inpatient medicaid
payments shall be established using an allowable methodology that approximates
the cost of claims submitted by the hospitals. Payments made to each hospital
in the program in each fiscal year of the biennium shall be compared to a
baseline amount. The baseline amount will be determined by the total of (a)
the inpatient claim payment amounts that would have been paid during the fiscal
year had the hospital not been in the CPE program based on the reimbursement
rates developed, implemented, and consistent with policies approved in the
2011-13 biennial operating appropriations act and in effect on July 1, 2011,
(b) one half of the indigent assistance disproportionate share hospital payment
amounts paid to and retained by each hospital during fiscal year 2005, and (c)
all of the other disproportionate share hospital payment amounts paid to and
retained by each hospital during fiscal year 2005 to the extent the same
disproportionate share hospital programs exist in the 2011-13 biennium. If
payments during the fiscal year exceed the hospital's baseline amount, no
additional payments will be made to the hospital except the federal portion of allowable
disproportionate share hospital payments for which the hospital can certify
allowable match. If payments during the fiscal year are less than the baseline
amount, the hospital will be paid a state grant equal to the difference between
payments during the fiscal year and the applicable baseline amount. Payment of
the state grant shall be made in the applicable fiscal year and distributed in
monthly payments. The grants will be recalculated and redistributed as the
baseline is updated during the fiscal year. The grant payments are subject to
an interim settlement within eleven months after the end of the fiscal year. A
final settlement shall be performed. To the extent that either settlement
determines that a hospital has received funds in excess of what it would have
received as described in this subsection, the hospital must repay the excess
amounts to the state when requested. $8,102,000 of the general fund--state
appropriation for fiscal year 2012, of which $6,570,000 is appropriated in section
204(1) of this act, and (($3,162,000)) $10,722,000 of the general
fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2013, of which $6,570,000 is
appropriated in section 204(1) of this act, are provided solely for state
grants for the participating hospitals. CPE hospitals will receive the
inpatient and outpatient reimbursement rate restorations in RCW 74.60.080 and
rate increases in RCW 74.60.090 funded through the hospital safety net
assessment fund rather than through the baseline mechanism specified in this subsection.
(15) The health care authority shall seek public-private partnerships and federal funds that are or may become available to provide on-going support for outreach and education efforts under the federal children's health insurance program reauthorization act of 2009.
(16) The health care authority shall target funding for maternity support services towards pregnant women with factors that lead to higher rates of poor birth outcomes, including hypertension, a preterm or low birth weight birth in the most recent previous birth, a cognitive deficit or developmental disability, substance abuse, severe mental illness, unhealthy weight or failure to gain weight, tobacco use, or African American or Native American race. The health care authority shall prioritize evidence-based practices for delivery of maternity support services. To the extent practicable, the health care authority shall develop a mechanism to increase federal funding for maternity support services by leveraging local public funding for those services.
(17) ((For children
with family incomes above 200 percent of the federal poverty level in the
state-funded children's health program for children who are not eligible for
coverage under the federally funded children's health insurance program,
premiums shall be set every two years in an amount equal to the average
state-only share of the per capita cost of coverage in the state-funded
children's health program for children in families with incomes at or less
than two hundred percent of the federal poverty level.

of emergency physicians shall designate best practices and performance measures
to reduce medically unnecessary emergency room visits of medicaid clients. The
Washington state hospital association, the Washington state medical
association, and the Washington chapter of the American college of emergency
physicians will work with the authority to promote these best practices. The
best practices and performance measures shall consist of the following items:
(a) Adoption of a system to exchange patient information among emergency room departments on a regional or statewide basis;
(b) Active dissemination of patient educational materials produced by the Washington state hospital association, Washington state medical association, and the Washington chapter of the American college of emergency physicians that instruct patients on appropriate facilities for nonemergent health care needs;
(c) Designation of hospital personnel and emergency room physician personnel to receive and appropriately disseminate information on clients participating in the medicaid patient review and coordination program and to review monthly utilization reports on those clients provided by the authority;
(d) A process to assist the authority's patient review and coordination program clients with their care plans. The process must include substantial efforts by hospitals to schedule an appointment with the client's assigned primary care provider within seventy-two hours of the client's medically unnecessary emergency room visit when appropriate under the client's care plan;
(e) Implementation of narcotic guidelines that incorporate the Washington chapter of the American college of emergency physician guidelines;
(f) Physician enrollment in the state's prescription monitoring program, as long as the program is funded; and
(g) Designation of a hospital emergency department physician responsible for reviewing the state's medicaid utilization management feedback reports, which will include defined performance measures. The emergency department physician and hospital will have a process to take appropriate action in response to the information in the feedback reports if performance measures are not met. The authority must develop feedback reports that include timely emergency room utilization data such as visit rates, medically unnecessary visit rates (by hospital and by client), emergency department imaging utilization rates, and other measures as needed. The authority may utilize the Robert Bree collaborative for assistance related to this best practice.
The requirements for best practices for a critical access hospital should not include adoption of a system to exchange patient information if doing so would pose a financial burden, and should not include requirements related to the authority's patient review and coordination program if the volume of those patients seen at the critical access hospital are small.
Hospitals participating in this medicaid best practices program shall submit to the authority a declaration from executive level leadership indicating hospital adoption of and compliance with the best practices enumerated above. In the declaration, hospitals will affirm that they have in place written policies, procedures, or guidelines to implement these best practices and are willing to share them upon request. The declaration must also give consent for the authority to disclose feedback reports and performance measures on its web site. The authority shall submit a list of declaring hospitals to the relevant policy and fiscal committees of the legislature by July 15, 2012.
If the authority does not receive by July 1, 2012, declarations from hospitals representing at least seventy-five percent of emergency room visits by medicaid clients in fiscal year 2010, the authority may implement a policy of nonpayment of medically unnecessary emergency room visits, with appropriate client and clinical safeguards such as exemptions and expedited prior authorization. The authority shall by January 15, 2013, perform a preliminary fiscal analysis of trends in implementing the best practices in this subsection, focusing on outlier hospitals with high rates of unnecessary visits by medicaid clients, high emergency room visit rates for patient review and coordination clients, low rates of completion of treatment plans for patient review and coordination clients assigned to the hospital, and high rates of prescribed long-acting opiates. In cooperation with the leadership of the hospital, medical, and emergency physician associations, additional efforts shall be focused on assisting those outlier hospitals and providers to achieve more substantial savings. The authority by January 15, 2013, will report to the legislature about whether assumed savings based on preliminary trend and forecasted data are on target and if additional best practices or other actions need to be implemented.
If necessary, pursuant to RCW 34.05.350(1)(c), the authority may employ emergency rulemaking to achieve the reductions assumed in the appropriations under this section.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 201. FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL AND HEALTH SERVICES
(1) The appropriations to the department of social and health services in this act shall be expended for the programs and in the amounts specified in this act. Appropriations made in this act to the department of social and health services shall initially be allotted as required by this act. Subsequent allotment modifications shall not include transfers of moneys between sections of this act except as expressly provided in this act, nor shall allotment modifications permit moneys that are provided solely for a specified purpose to be used for other than that purpose.
(2) The department of social and health services shall not initiate any services that require expenditure of state general fund moneys unless expressly authorized in this act or other law. The department may seek, receive, and spend, under RCW 43.79.260 through 43.79.282, federal moneys not anticipated in this act as long as the federal funding does not require expenditure of state moneys for the program in excess of amounts anticipated in this act. If the department receives unanticipated unrestricted federal moneys, those moneys shall be spent for services authorized in this act or in any other legislation providing appropriation authority, and an equal amount of appropriated state general fund moneys shall lapse. Upon the lapsing of any moneys under this subsection, the office of financial management shall notify the legislative fiscal committees. As used in this subsection, "unrestricted federal moneys" includes block grants and other funds that federal law does not require to be spent on specifically defined projects or matched on a formula basis by state funds.
(3)(a) The health care authority and the department are authorized to develop an integrated health care program designed to slow the progression of illness and disability and better manage medicaid expenditures for the aged and disabled population. Under the Washington medicaid integration partnership (WMIP) and the medicare integrated care project (MICP), the health care authority and the department may combine and transfer such medicaid funds appropriated under sections 204, 206, 208, and 213 of this act as may be necessary to finance a unified health care plan for the WMIP and the MICP program enrollment. The WMIP pilot projects shall not exceed a daily enrollment of 6,000 persons, nor expand beyond one county during the 2013-2015 fiscal biennium. The amount of funding assigned from each program may not exceed the average per capita cost assumed in this act for individuals covered by that program, actuarially adjusted for the health condition of persons enrolled, times the number of clients enrolled. In implementing the WMIP and the MICP, the health care authority and the department may: (i) Withhold from calculations of "available resources" as set forth in RCW 71.24.025 a sum equal to the capitated rate for enrolled individuals; and (ii) employ capitation financing and risk-sharing arrangements in collaboration with health care service contractors licensed by the office of the insurance commissioner and qualified to participate in both the medicaid and medicare programs.
(b) If Washington is selected to participate in a financial capitation model of the federal demonstration project for persons dually-eligible for both medicare and medicaid, the department and the authority may initiate the MICP. Participation in the project shall be limited to persons who are eligible for both medicare and medicaid and to counties in which the county legislative authority has agreed to the terms and conditions under which it will operate. The purpose of the project shall be to demonstrate and evaluate ways to improve care while reducing state expenditures for persons enrolled both in medicare and medicaid. To that end, prior to initiating the project, the department and the authority shall assure that state expenditures shall be no greater on either a per person or total basis than the state would otherwise incur. Individuals who are solely eligible for medicaid may also participate if their participation is agreed to by the health care authority, the department, and the county legislative authority.
(4) The legislature finds that medicaid payment rates, as calculated by the department pursuant to the appropriations in this act, bear a reasonable relationship to the costs incurred by efficiently and economically operated facilities for providing quality services and will be sufficient to enlist enough providers so that care and services are available to the extent that such care and services are available to the general population in the geographic area. The legislature finds that cost reports, payment data from the federal government, historical utilization, economic data, and clinical input constitute reliable data upon which to determine the payment rates.
(5) The department shall to the maximum extent practicable use the same system for delivery of spoken-language interpreter services for social services appointments as the one established for medical appointments in section 213 of this act. When contracting directly with an individual to deliver spoken language interpreter services, the department shall only contract with language access providers who are working at a location in the state and who are state-certified or state-authorized, except that when such a provider is not available, the department may use a language access provider who meets other certifications or standards deemed to meet state standards, including interpreters in other states.
(6)(a) The appropriations to the department of social and health services in this act shall be expended for the programs and in the amounts specified in this act. However, after May 1, 2014, unless specifically prohibited by this act, the department may transfer general fund‑-state appropriations for fiscal year 2014 among programs after approval by the director of financial management. However, the department shall not transfer state moneys that are provided solely for a specified purpose except as expressly provided in (b) of this subsection.
(b) To the extent that transfers under (a) of this subsection are insufficient to fund actual expenditures in excess of fiscal year 2014 caseload forecasts and utilization assumptions in the long-term care, foster care, adoptions support, medicaid personal care, and child support programs, the department may transfer state moneys that are provided solely for a specified purpose. The department shall not transfer funds, and the director of financial management shall not approve the transfer, unless the transfer is consistent with the objective of conserving, to the maximum extent possible, the expenditure of state funds. The director of financial management shall notify the appropriate fiscal committees of the senate and house of representatives in writing seven days prior to approving any allotment modifications or transfers under this subsection. The written notification shall include a narrative explanation and justification of the changes, along with expenditures and allotments by budget unit and appropriation, both before and after any allotment modifications or transfers.

No later than December 31, 2014, the department shall report to the appropriate fiscal committees of the legislature on the feasibility of such conversion.

The appropriations in this section are subject to the following conditions and limitations:
(1) Within amounts appropriated in this section and sections 205 and 206 of this act, the health care authority shall continue to provide an enhanced basic health plan subsidy for foster parents licensed under chapter 74.15 RCW and workers in state-funded home care programs through December 31, 2013. Under this enhanced subsidy option, foster parents eligible to participate in the basic health plan as subsidized enrollees and home care workers with family incomes below 200 percent of the federal poverty level shall be allowed to enroll in the basic health plan at the minimum premium amount charged to enrollees with incomes below sixty-five percent of the federal poverty level.
(2) The health care authority shall require organizations and individuals that are paid to deliver basic health plan services and that choose to sponsor enrollment in the subsidized basic health plan to pay 133 percent of the premium amount which would otherwise be due from the sponsored enrollees through December 31, 2013, unless medicaid expansion is not implemented.
(3) The administrator shall take at least the following actions to assure that persons participating in the basic health plan are eligible for the level of assistance they receive: (a) Require submission of (i) income tax returns, and recent pay history, from all applicants, or (ii) other verifiable evidence of earned and unearned income from those persons not required to file income tax returns; (b) check employment security payroll records at least once every twelve months on all enrollees; (c) require enrollees whose income as indicated by payroll records exceeds that upon which their subsidy is based to document their current income as a condition of continued eligibility; (d) require enrollees for whom employment security payroll records cannot be obtained to document their current income at least once every six months; (e) not reduce gross family income for self-employed persons by noncash-flow expenses such as, but not limited to, depreciation, amortization, and home office deductions, as defined by the United States internal revenue service; and (f) pursue repayment and civil penalties from persons who have received excessive subsidies, as provided in RCW 70.47.060(9).
(4) Until December 31, 2013, enrollment in the subsidized basic health plan shall be limited to only include persons who qualify as subsidized enrollees as defined in RCW 70.47.020 and who (a) qualify for services under 1115 medicaid demonstration project number 11-W-00254/10; or (b) are foster parents licensed under chapter 74.15 RCW.
(5) Based on quarterly expenditure reports and caseload forecasts, if the health care authority estimates that expenditures for the medical assistance program will exceed the appropriations, the health care authority shall take steps including but not limited to reduction of rates or elimination of optional services to reduce expenditures so that total program costs do not exceed the annual appropriation authority.
(6) When a person is ineligible for medicaid solely by reason of residence in an institution for mental diseases, the health care authority shall provide the person with the same benefits as he or she would receive if eligible for medicaid, using state-only funds to the extent necessary.
(7) $4,261,000 of the general fund‑-state appropriation for fiscal year 2014, $4,261,000 of the general fund‑-state appropriation for fiscal year 2015, and $8,522,000 of the general fund‑-federal appropriation are provided solely for low-income disproportionate share hospital payments under RCW 74.09.730(1)(a).
(8) $6,000,000 of the general fund‑-federal appropriation is provided solely for supplemental payments to nursing homes operated by public hospital districts. The public hospital district shall be responsible for providing the required nonfederal match for the supplemental payment, and the payments shall not exceed the maximum allowable under federal rules. It is the legislature's intent that the payments shall be supplemental to and shall not in any way offset or reduce the payments calculated and provided in accordance with part E of chapter 74.46 RCW. It is the legislature's further intent that costs otherwise allowable for rate-setting and settlement against payments under chapter 74.46 RCW shall not be disallowed solely because such costs have been paid by revenues retained by the nursing home from these supplemental payments. The supplemental payments are subject to retrospective interim and final cost settlements based on the nursing homes' as-filed and final medicare cost reports. The timing of the interim and final cost settlements shall be at the health care authority's discretion. During either the interim cost settlement or the final cost settlement, the health care authority shall recoup from the public hospital districts the supplemental payments that exceed the medicaid cost limit and/or the medicare upper payment limit. The health care authority shall apply federal rules for identifying the eligible incurred medicaid costs and the medicare upper payment limit.
(9) The health care authority shall continue the inpatient hospital certified public expenditures program for the 2013-2015 fiscal biennium. The program shall apply to all public hospitals, including those owned or operated by the state, except those classified as critical access hospitals or state psychiatric institutions. The health care authority shall submit reports to the governor and legislature by November 1, 2013, and by November 1, 2014, that evaluate whether savings continue to exceed costs for this program. If the certified public expenditures (CPE) program in its current form is no longer cost-effective to maintain, the health care authority shall submit a report to the governor and legislature detailing cost-effective alternative uses of local, state, and federal resources as a replacement for this program. During fiscal year 2014 and fiscal year 2015, hospitals in the program shall be paid and shall retain one hundred percent of the federal portion of the allowable hospital cost for each medicaid inpatient fee-for-service claim payable by medical assistance and one hundred percent of the federal portion of the maximum disproportionate share hospital payment allowable under federal regulations. Inpatient medicaid payments shall be established using an allowable methodology that approximates the cost of claims submitted by the hospitals. Payments made to each hospital in the program in each fiscal year of the biennium shall be compared to a baseline amount. The baseline amount will be determined by the total of (a) the inpatient claim payment amounts that would have been paid during the fiscal year had the hospital not been in the CPE program based on the reimbursement rates developed, implemented, and consistent with policies approved in the 2013-2015 biennial operating appropriations act and in effect on July 1, 2013, (b) one half of the indigent assistance disproportionate share hospital payment amounts paid to and retained by each hospital during fiscal year 2005, and (c) all of the other disproportionate share hospital payment amounts paid to and retained by each hospital during fiscal year 2005 to the extent the same disproportionate share hospital programs exist in the 2013-2015 fiscal biennium. If payments during the fiscal year exceed the hospital's baseline amount, no additional payments will be made to the hospital except the federal portion of allowable disproportionate share hospital payments for which the hospital can certify allowable match. If payments during the fiscal year are less than the baseline amount, the hospital will be paid a state grant equal to the difference between payments during the fiscal year and the applicable baseline amount. Payment of the state grant shall be made in the applicable fiscal year and distributed in monthly payments. The grants will be recalculated and redistributed as the baseline is updated during the fiscal year. The grant payments are subject to an interim settlement within eleven months after the end of the fiscal year. A final settlement shall be performed. To the extent that either settlement determines that a hospital has received funds in excess of what it would have received as described in this subsection, the hospital must repay the excess amounts to the state when requested. $12,803,000 of the general fund‑-state appropriation for fiscal year 2014, of which $6,570,000 is appropriated in section 204(1) of this act, and $6,934,000 of the general fund‑-state appropriation for fiscal year 2015, of which $6,570,000 is appropriated in section 204(1) of this act, are provided solely for state grants for the participating hospitals. CPE hospitals will receive the inpatient and outpatient reimbursement rate restorations in RCW 74.60.080 and rate increases in RCW 74.60.090 funded through the hospital safety net assessment fund rather than through the baseline mechanism specified in this subsection.
(10) Within the amounts appropriated in this section, the health care authority shall provide disproportionate share hospital payments to hospitals that provide services to children in the children's health program who are not eligible for services under Title XIX or XXI of the federal social security act due to their citizenship status.
(11) The health care authority shall not initiate any services that require expenditure of state general fund moneys unless expressly authorized in this act or other law. The health care authority may seek, receive, and spend, under RCW 43.79.260 through 43.79.282, federal moneys not anticipated in this act as long as the federal funding does not require expenditure of state moneys for the program in excess of amounts anticipated in this act. If the health care authority receives unanticipated unrestricted federal moneys, those moneys shall be spent for services authorized in this act or in any other legislation providing appropriation authority, and an equal amount of appropriated state general fund moneys shall lapse. Upon the lapsing of any moneys under this subsection, the office of financial management shall notify the legislative fiscal committees. As used in this subsection, "unrestricted federal moneys" includes block grants and other funds that federal law does not require to be spent on specifically defined projects or matched on a formula basis by state funds.
(12) The legislature finds that medicaid payment rates, as calculated by the health care authority pursuant to the appropriations in this act, bear a reasonable relationship to the costs incurred by efficiently and economically operated facilities for providing quality services and will be sufficient to enlist enough providers so that care and services are available to the extent that such care and services are available to the general population in the geographic area. The legislature finds that the cost reports, payment data from the federal government, historical utilization, economic data, and clinical input constitute reliable data upon which to determine the payment rates.
(13) $571,690 of the state health care authority administration account--state appropriation is provided solely for implementation of Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5811 (employee wellness program). If the bill is not enacted by June 30, 2013, the amount provided in this subsection shall lapse.
(14) In determining financial eligibility for medicaid-funded services, the health care authority is authorized to disregard recoveries by Holocaust survivors of insurance proceeds or other assets, as defined in RCW 48.104.030.
(15) The legislature affirms that it is in the state's interest for Harborview medical center to remain an economically viable component of the state's health care system.
(16) $357,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2014 and $357,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2015 are provided solely to reduce premiums for children with family incomes above 200 percent of the federal poverty level in the state-funded children's health program who are not eligible for coverage under the federal children's health insurance program. Premiums in the state and federal children's health insurance program shall be equal.
(17) $1,531,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2014, $280,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2015, and $10,803,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation are provided solely to implement phase two of the project to create a single provider payment system that consolidates medicaid medical and social services payments and replaces the social service payment system.
(18) Within the amounts appropriated in this section, the health care authority and the department of social and health services shall implement the state option to provide health homes for enrollees with chronic conditions under section 2703 of the federal affordable care act. The total state match for enrollees who are dually-eligible for both medicare and medicaid and not enrolled in managed care shall be no more than the net savings to the state from the enhanced match rate for its medicaid-only managed care enrollees under section 2703.
(19) Effective January 1, 2014, the authority shall not pay monthly enhancements directly to federally qualified health clinics and rural health centers and shall instead include the full encounter payments in managed care contracts. The managed care contracts shall require the managed care plans to pay at least the full encounter payment to federally qualified health clinics and rural health centers. Managed care premiums shall be adjusted to reflect this increased payment. Effective January 1, 2015, the managed care premiums shall be calculated based on calendar year 2012 and 2013 federally qualified health clinic and rural health center utilization experience.
(20) The appropriations in this section reflect savings and efficiencies by transferring children receiving medical care provided through fee-for-service to medical care provided through managed care.
(21) The authority shall exclude antiretroviral drugs used to treat HIV/AIDS, anticancer medication that is used to kill or slow the growth of cancerous cells, antihemophilic drugs, and transplant drugs from fail first limitations implemented to operate within the appropriations provided in this section.
(22) The appropriations in this section reflect savings and efficiencies by modifying the dispensing methods of contraceptive drugs. The authority must make arrangements for all medicaid programs offered through managed care plans or fee-for-service to require dispensing of contraceptive drugs with up to a one-year supply provided at one time. Contracts with managed care plans must allow on-site dispensing of the prescribed contraceptive drugs at family planning clinics. Dispensing practices must follow clinical guidelines for appropriate prescribing and dispensing to ensure the health of the patient while maximizing access to effective contraceptive drugs.
(23) $90,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2014, $90,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2015, and $180,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation are provided solely to continue operation by a nonprofit organization of a toll-free hotline that assists families to learn about and enroll in the apple health for kids program.

The amounts provided in this section are contingent on the health benefit exchange developing a self-sustaining methodology under which charges to enrollees and the state shall not exceed 1.8 percent of premiums paid.
(25) $92,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2014, $92,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2015, and $184,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation are provided solely for the authority to build and enhance a financial oversight system of medicaid managed care organizations and related costs. The authority's financial oversight system shall be able to monitor performance and financial data independently of outside organizations, have the systems and resources necessary to perform these functions, and understand how state and federal reforms will affect the state general fund.
(26) $213,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2014, $565,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2015, and $778,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation are provided solely to provide the mental health visit limit removal, shingles vaccine, and the screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment benefits available in the medicaid alternative benefit plan to the current medicaid benefit plan beginning January 1, 2014.

(27) $3,382,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2014, $6,407,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2015, and $20,901,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation are provided solely for the authority to restore adult dental restorative benefits beginning January 1, 2014.

each employee shall be a separate agreement for which the governor may request

(1) Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, the matters subject to bargaining include wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment, and the negotiation of any question arising under a collective bargaining agreement.
(2) The employer is not required to bargain over matters pertaining to:

(3) Matters subject
to bargaining include the number of names to be certified for vacancies,

the dollar amount expended on behalf of each employee for health care benefits
shall be conducted between the employer and one coalition of all the exclusive
bargaining representatives subject to this chapter. The exclusive bargaining
representatives for employees that are subject to chapter 47.64 RCW shall
bargain the dollar amount expended on behalf of each employee for health care
benefits with the employer as part of the coalition under this subsection. Any
such provision agreed to by the employer and the coalition shall be included in
all master collective bargaining agreements negotiated by the parties. For

the dollar amount expended on behalf of each employee for health care benefits
is a separate agreement and shall not be included in the master collective

A provision of a collective bargaining agreement that conflicts with the terms of a statute is invalid and unenforceable.
(7) This section does not prohibit bargaining that affects contracts authorized by RCW 41.06.142.

Sec. 987. RCW 82.14.310 and 2011 1st sp.s. c 50 s 970 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) The county criminal justice assistance account is created in the state treasury. Beginning in fiscal year 2000, the state treasurer must transfer into the county criminal justice assistance account from the general fund the sum of twenty-three million two hundred thousand dollars divided into four equal deposits occurring on July 1, October 1, January 1, and April 1. For each fiscal year thereafter, the state treasurer must increase the total transfer by the fiscal growth factor, as defined in RCW 43.135.025, forecast for that fiscal year by the office of financial management in November of the preceding year.
(2) The moneys deposited in the county criminal justice assistance account for distribution under this section, less any moneys appropriated for purposes under subsection (4) of this section, must be distributed at such times as distributions are made under RCW 82.44.150 and on the relative basis of each county's funding factor as determined under this subsection.
(a) A county's funding factor is the sum of:
(i) The population of the county, divided by one thousand, and multiplied by two-tenths;
(ii) The crime rate of the county, multiplied by three-tenths; and
(iii) The annual number of criminal cases filed in the county superior court, for each one thousand in population, multiplied by five-tenths.
(b) Under this section and RCW 82.14.320 and 82.14.330:
(i) The population of the county or city is as last determined by the office of financial management;
(ii) The crime rate of the county or city is the annual occurrence of specified criminal offenses, as calculated in the most recent annual report on crime in Washington state as published by the Washington association of sheriffs and police chiefs, for each one thousand in population;
(iii) The annual number of criminal cases filed in the county superior court must be determined by the most recent annual report of the courts of Washington, as published by the administrative office of the courts;
(iv) Distributions and eligibility for distributions in the 1989-1991 biennium must be based on 1988 figures for both the crime rate as described under (ii) of this subsection and the annual number of criminal cases that are filed as described under (iii) of this subsection. Future distributions must be based on the most recent figures for both the crime rate as described under (ii) of this subsection and the annual number of criminal cases that are filed as described under (iii) of this subsection.
(3) Moneys distributed under this section must be expended exclusively for criminal justice purposes and may not be used to replace or supplant existing funding. Criminal justice purposes are defined as activities that substantially assist the criminal justice system, which may include circumstances where ancillary benefit to the civil or juvenile justice system occurs, and which includes (a) domestic violence services such as those provided by domestic violence programs, community advocates, and legal advocates, as defined in RCW 70.123.020, and (b) during the 2001-2003 fiscal biennium, juvenile dispositional hearings relating to petitions for at-risk youth, truancy, and children in need of services. Existing funding for purposes of this subsection is defined as calendar year 1989 actual operating expenditures for criminal justice purposes. Calendar year 1989 actual operating expenditures for criminal justice purposes exclude the following: Expenditures for extraordinary events not likely to reoccur, changes in contract provisions for criminal justice services, beyond the control of the local jurisdiction receiving the services, and major nonrecurring capital expenditures.
(4) Not more than five percent of the funds deposited to the county criminal justice assistance account may be available for appropriations for enhancements to the state patrol crime laboratory system and the continuing costs related to these enhancements. Funds appropriated from this account for such enhancements may not supplant existing funds from the state general fund.
(5) During the 2011-2013 fiscal biennium, the amount that would otherwise be transferred into the county criminal justice assistance account from the general fund under subsection (1) of this section must be reduced by 3.4 percent.
(6) During the 2013-2015 fiscal biennium, for the purposes of substance abuse and other programs for offenders, the legislature may appropriate from the county criminal justice assistance account such amounts as are in excess of the amounts necessary to fully meet the state's obligations to the counties and to the Washington state patrol. Excess amounts in this account are not the result of subsection (5) of this section.
Sec. 988. RCW 86.26.007 and 2012 2nd sp.s. c 7 s 932 are each amended to read as follows:
The flood control assistance account is hereby established in the state treasury. At the beginning of the 2005-2007 fiscal biennium, the state treasurer shall transfer three million dollars from the general fund to the flood control assistance account. Each biennium thereafter the state treasurer shall transfer four million dollars from the general fund to the flood control assistance account, except that during the 2011-2013 fiscal biennium, the state treasurer shall transfer one million dollars from the general fund to the flood control assistance account. Moneys in the flood control assistance account may be spent only after appropriation for purposes specified under this chapter. During the 2013-2015 fiscal biennium, the legislature may transfer from the flood control assistance account to the state general fund such amounts as reflect the excess fund balance of the account.

(2) The department of social and health services shall not initiate any services that require expenditure of state general fund moneys unless expressly authorized in this act or other law. The department may seek, receive, and spend, under RCW 43.79.260 through 43.79.282, federal moneys not anticipated in this act as long as the federal funding does not require expenditure of state moneys for the program in excess of amounts anticipated in this act.

Upon the lapsing of any moneys under this subsection, the office of financial management shall notify the legislative fiscal committees.

The amount of funding assigned from each program may not exceed the average per capita cost assumed in this act for individuals covered by that program, actuarially adjusted for the health condition of persons enrolled, times the number of clients enrolled. In implementing the WMIP and the MICP, the health care authority and the department may: (i) Withhold from calculations of "available resources" as set forth in RCW 71.24.025 a sum equal to the capitated rate for enrolled individuals; and (ii) employ capitation financing and risk-sharing arrangements in collaboration with health care service contractors licensed by the office of the insurance commissioner and qualified to participate in both the medicaid and medicare programs.

care while reducing state expenditures for persons enrolled both in medicare
and medicaid. To that end, prior to initiating the project, the department and
the authority shall assure that state expenditures shall be no greater on
either a per person or total basis than the state would otherwise incur.
Individuals who are solely eligible for medicaid may also participate if their
participation is agreed to by the health care authority, the department, and
the county legislative authority.
(4) The legislature finds that medicaid payment rates, as calculated by the department pursuant to the appropriations in this act, bear a reasonable relationship to the costs incurred by efficiently and economically operated facilities for providing quality services and will be sufficient to enlist enough providers so that care and services are available to the extent that such care and services are available to the general population in the geographic area. The legislature finds that cost reports, payment data from the federal government, historical utilization, economic data, and clinical input constitute reliable data upon which to determine the payment rates.
(5) The department shall to the maximum extent practicable use the same system for delivery of spoken-language interpreter services for social services appointments as the one established for medical appointments in section 213 of this act. When contracting directly with an individual to deliver spoken language interpreter services, the department shall only contract with language access providers who are working at a location in the state and who are state-certified or state-authorized, except that when such a provider is not available, the department may use a language access provider who meets other certifications or standards deemed to meet state standards, including interpreters in other states.
(6)(a) The
appropriations to the department of social and health services in this act
shall be expended for the programs and in the amounts specified in this act.
However, after May 1, ((2012)) 2013, unless specifically
prohibited by this act, the department may transfer general fund--state
appropriations for fiscal year ((2012)) 2013 among programs after
approval by the director of financial management. However, the department
shall not transfer state moneys that are provided solely for a specified
purpose except as expressly provided in (b) of this subsection.
(b) To the extent
that transfers under (a) of this subsection are insufficient to fund actual
expenditures in excess of fiscal year ((2012)) 2013 caseload
forecasts and utilization assumptions in the long-term care, foster care,
adoptions support, medicaid personal care, and child support programs, the
department may transfer state moneys that are provided solely for a specified
purpose. The department shall not transfer funds, and the director of financial
management shall not approve the transfer, unless the transfer is consistent
with the objective of conserving, to the maximum extent possible, the
expenditure of state funds. The director of financial management shall notify
the appropriate fiscal committees of the senate and house of representatives in
writing seven days prior to approving any allotment modifications or transfers
under this subsection. The written notification shall include a narrative
explanation and justification of the changes, along with expenditures and
allotments by budget unit and appropriation, both before and after any
allotment modifications or transfers.

The committee may make changes to the formula categories other than the evidence-based program and disposition alternative categories if it is determined the changes will increase statewide service delivery or effectiveness of evidence-based program or disposition alternative resulting in increased cost benefit savings to the state. Long-term cost benefit must be considered. Percentage changes may occur in the evidence-based program or disposition alternative categories of the formula should it be determined the changes will increase evidence-based program or disposition alternative delivery and increase the cost benefit to the state. These outcomes will also be considered in determining when evidence-based expansion or special sex offender disposition alternative funds should be included in the block grant or left separate.
(d) The juvenile courts and administrative office of the courts shall be responsible for collecting and distributing information and providing access to the data systems to the juvenile rehabilitation administration and the Washington state institute for public policy related to program and outcome data.

The data shall be provided in a manner that reflects the collaborative work the juvenile rehabilitation administration and juvenile courts have developed regarding program outcomes that reinforce the greatest cost benefit to the state in the implementation of evidence-based practices and disposition alternatives.
(9) The Washington association of juvenile court administrators and the juvenile rehabilitation administration, in consultation with the community juvenile accountability act advisory committee and the Washington state institute for public policy, shall analyze and review data elements available from the administrative office of the courts for possible integration into the evidence-based program quality assurance plans and processes. The administrative office of the courts, the Washington association of juvenile court administrators, and the juvenile rehabilitation administration shall provide information necessary to complete the review and analysis. The Washington association of juvenile court administrators and the juvenile rehabilitation administration shall report the findings of their review and analysis, as well as any recommendations, to the legislature by December 1, 2012.

The department may allow regional support networks which have nonmedicaid reimbursable costs that are higher than the nonmedicaid allocation they receive under this section to supplement these funds with local dollars or funds received under section 204(1)(a) of this act. The department and regional support networks shall maintain consistency with all essential elements of the PACT evidence-based practice model in programs funded under this section.

(g) The department is authorized to continue to contract directly, rather than through contracts with regional support networks, for children's long-term inpatient facility services.
(h) $750,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2012 and $750,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2013 are provided solely to continue performance-based incentive contracts to provide appropriate community support services for individuals with severe mental illness who were discharged from the state hospitals as part of the expanding community services initiative.

(k) Regional support networks may use local funds to earn additional federal medicaid match, provided the locally matched rate does not exceed the upper-bound of their federally allowable rate range, and provided that the enhanced funding is used only to provide medicaid state plan or waiver services to medicaid clients. Additionally, regional support networks may use a portion of the state funds allocated in accordance with (a) of this subsection to earn additional medicaid match, but only to the extent that the application of such funds to medicaid services does not diminish the level of crisis and commitment, community inpatient, residential care, and outpatient services presently available to persons not eligible for medicaid.
(l) Given the recent approval of federal medicaid matching funds for the disability lifeline and the alcohol and drug abuse treatment support act programs, the department shall charge regional support networks for only the state share rather than the total cost of community psychiatric hospitalization for persons enrolled in those programs.

The appropriations in this subsection are subject to the following conditions and limitations:
(a) Individuals receiving services as supplemental security income (SSI) state supplemental payments shall not become eligible for medical assistance under RCW 74.09.510 due solely to the receipt of SSI state supplemental payments.
(b) Amounts appropriated in this subsection reflect a reduction to funds appropriated for in-home care. The department shall reduce the number of in-home hours authorized. The reduction shall be scaled based on the acuity level of care recipients. The largest hour reductions shall be to lower acuity patients and the smallest hour reductions shall be to higher acuity patients.
(c) Amounts appropriated in this subsection are sufficient to develop and implement the use of a consistent, statewide outcome-based vendor contract for employment and day services by July 1, 2012. The rates paid to vendors under this contract shall also be made consistent.

However, if the governor and the service employees international union healthcare 775nw can reach agreement on repurposing funding that is currently provided in the individual provider collective bargaining agreement for new individual provider wages paid during training or other training related items, then expenditures for training trust contributions for individual providers may include the amounts provided in this subsection and the agreed upon repurposed funding. Funding in this section for purposes other than the individual provider collective bargaining agreement cannot be used for the purposes of this subsection (1)(e). It is the intent of the legislature that the funding provided in this subsection, including any repurposed funding, is sufficient to cover the costs of individual provider training and therefore tuition or other entrance fees are not necessary.
(f) $104,669,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2013 and $104,669,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation are provided solely for the department to provide personal care services to waiver and nonwaiver in-home clients.

The department shall operate the personal care program within the amounts specifically provided.

The department shall inform clients and their legal representatives of all available options for employment and day services. Information provided to the client and the client's legal representative shall include the types of activities each service option provides, and the amount, scope, and duration of service for which the client would be eligible under each service option. An individual client may be authorized for only one service option, either employment services or community access services. Clients may not participate in more than one of these services at any given time.
(ii) The department shall work with counties and stakeholders to strengthen and expand the existing community access program. The program must emphasize support for the client so they are able to participate in activities that integrate them into their community and support independent living and skills.
(iii) The appropriation in this subsection includes funding to provide employment or community access services to 168 medicaid eligible young adults with developmental disabilities living with their families who need employment opportunities and assistance after high school graduation.
(h) $75,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2012 and $75,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2013 are provided solely for the restoration of direct support to local organizations that utilize parent-to-parent networks and communication to promote access and quality of care for individuals with developmental disabilities and their families.

(ii) Beginning in fiscal year 2012, a processing fee of $2,750 shall be charged to each adult family home when the home is initially licensed. This fee is nonrefundable.
(j) Clients with developmental disabilities have demonstrated a need and a desire for a day services program as verified by over 900 clients currently accessing day programs through a long-term care service model. In addition, every individual, to include those with a developmental disability, should have the opportunity for meaningful employment which allows them to contribute to their communities and to become as self-sufficient as possible. Providing choice empowers recipients of publicly funded services and their families by expanding their degree of control over the services and supports they need.
The department shall work with legislators and stakeholders to develop a new approach to employment and day services. The objective of this plan is to ensure that adults with developmental disabilities have optimum choices, and that employment and day offerings are comprehensive enough to meet the needs of all clients currently served on a home and community based waiver. The proposal shall be submitted to the 2012 legislature for consideration and shall be constructed such that a client ultimately receives employment, community access, or the community day option but not more than one service at a time. The proposal shall include options for program efficiencies within the current employment and day structure and shall provide details on the plan to implement a consistent, statewide outcome-based vendor contract for employment and day services as specified in (c) of this subsection.

(3) In accordance with chapter 74.46 RCW, the department shall issue no additional certificates of capital authorization for fiscal year 2012 and no new certificates of capital authorization for fiscal year 2013 and shall grant no rate add-ons to payment rates for capital improvements not requiring a certificate of need and a certificate of capital authorization for fiscal years 2012 and 2013.

required nonfederal match for the supplemental payment, and the payments shall
not exceed the maximum allowable under federal rules. It is the legislature's intent
that the payments shall be supplemental to and shall not in any way offset or
reduce the payments calculated and provided in accordance with part E of
chapter 74.46 RCW. It is the legislature's further intent that costs
otherwise allowable for rate-setting and settlement against payments under
chapter 74.46 RCW shall not be disallowed solely because such costs have been
paid by revenues retained by the nursing home from these supplemental
payments. The supplemental payments are subject to retrospective interim and
final cost settlements based on the nursing homes' as-filed and final medicare
cost reports. The timing of the interim and final cost settlements shall be at
the health care authority's discretion. During either the interim cost settlement
or the final cost settlement, the health care authority shall recoup from the
public hospital districts the supplemental payments that exceed the medicaid
cost limit and/or the medicare upper payment limit. The health care authority
shall apply federal rules for identifying the eligible incurred medicaid costs

psychiatric institutions. The health care authority shall submit reports to
the governor and legislature by November 1, 2011, and by November 1, 2012, that
evaluate whether savings continue to exceed costs for this program. If the
certified public expenditures (CPE) program in its current form is no longer
cost-effective to maintain, the health care authority shall submit a report to
the governor and legislature detailing cost-effective alternative uses of
local, state, and federal resources as a replacement for this program. During
fiscal year 2012 and fiscal year 2013, hospitals in the program shall be paid
and shall retain one hundred percent of the federal portion of the allowable
hospital cost for each medicaid inpatient fee-for-service claim payable by
medical assistance and one hundred percent of the federal portion of the
maximum disproportionate share hospital payment allowable under federal
regulations. Inpatient medicaid payments shall be established using an
allowable methodology that approximates the cost of claims submitted by the
hospitals. Payments made to each hospital in the program in each fiscal year
of the biennium shall be compared to a baseline amount. The baseline amount
will be determined by the total of (a) the inpatient claim payment amounts that
would have been paid during the fiscal year had the hospital not been in the CPE
program based on the reimbursement rates developed, implemented, and
consistent with policies approved in the 2011-13 biennial operating
appropriations act and in effect on July 1, 2011, (b) one half of the indigent
assistance disproportionate share hospital payment amounts paid to and retained
by each hospital during fiscal year 2005, and (c) all of the other
disproportionate share hospital payment amounts paid to and retained by each
hospital during fiscal year 2005 to the extent the same disproportionate share
hospital programs exist in the 2011-13 biennium. If payments during the fiscal
year exceed the hospital's baseline amount, no additional payments will be made
to the hospital except the federal portion of allowable disproportionate share
hospital payments for which the hospital can certify allowable match. If
payments during the fiscal year are less than the baseline amount, the hospital
will be paid a state grant equal to the difference between payments during the
fiscal year and the applicable baseline amount. Payment of the state grant
shall be made in the applicable fiscal year and distributed in monthly
payments. The grants will be recalculated and redistributed as the baseline is
updated during the fiscal year. The grant payments are subject to an interim
settlement within eleven months after the end of the fiscal year. A final
settlement shall be performed. To the extent that either settlement determines
that a hospital has received funds in excess of what it would have received as
described in this subsection, the hospital must repay the excess amounts to the
state when requested. $8,102,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for
fiscal year 2012, of which $6,570,000 is appropriated in section 204(1) of this
act, and (($3,162,000)) $10,722,069 of the general fund--state
appropriation for fiscal year 2013, of which $6,570,000 is appropriated in

In order to achieve the twelve percent reduction in emergency room expenditures
in the fiscal year 2013 appropriations provided in this section, the authority,
in consultation with the Washington state hospital association, the Washington
state medical association, and the Washington chapter of the American college
of emergency physicians shall designate best practices and performance measures
to reduce medically unnecessary emergency room visits of medicaid clients. The
Washington state hospital association, the Washington state medical
association, and the Washington chapter of the American college of emergency
physicians will work with the authority to promote these best practices. The
best practices and performance measures shall consist of the following items:
(a) Adoption of a system to exchange patient information among emergency room departments on a regional or statewide basis;
(b) Active dissemination of patient educational materials produced by the Washington state hospital association, Washington state medical association, and the Washington chapter of the American college of emergency physicians that instruct patients on appropriate facilities for nonemergent health care needs;
(c) Designation of hospital personnel and emergency room physician personnel to receive and appropriately disseminate information on clients participating in the medicaid patient review and coordination program and to review monthly utilization reports on those clients provided by the authority;
(d) A process to assist the authority's patient review and coordination program clients with their care plans. The process must include substantial efforts by hospitals to schedule an appointment with the client's assigned primary care provider within seventy-two hours of the client's medically unnecessary emergency room visit when appropriate under the client's care plan;
(e) Implementation of narcotic guidelines that incorporate the Washington chapter of the American college of emergency physician guidelines;
(f) Physician enrollment in the state's prescription monitoring program, as long as the program is funded; and
(g) Designation of a hospital emergency department physician responsible for reviewing the state's medicaid utilization management feedback reports, which will include defined performance measures. The emergency department physician and hospital will have a process to take appropriate action in response to the information in the feedback reports if performance measures are not met. The authority must develop feedback reports that include timely emergency room utilization data such as visit rates, medically unnecessary visit rates (by hospital and by client), emergency department imaging utilization rates, and other measures as needed. The authority may utilize the Robert Bree collaborative for assistance related to this best practice.
The requirements for best practices for a critical access hospital should not include adoption of a system to exchange patient information if doing so would pose a financial burden, and should not include requirements related to the authority's patient review and coordination program if the volume of those patients seen at the critical access hospital are small.
Hospitals participating in this medicaid best practices program shall submit to the authority a declaration from executive level leadership indicating hospital adoption of and compliance with the best practices enumerated above. In the declaration, hospitals will affirm that they have in place written policies, procedures, or guidelines to implement these best practices and are willing to share them upon request. The declaration must also give consent for the authority to disclose feedback reports and performance measures on its web site. The authority shall submit a list of declaring hospitals to the relevant policy and fiscal committees of the legislature by July 15, 2012.
If the authority does not receive by July 1, 2012, declarations from hospitals representing at least seventy-five percent of emergency room visits by medicaid clients in fiscal year 2010, the authority may implement a policy of nonpayment of medically unnecessary emergency room visits, with appropriate client and clinical safeguards such as exemptions and expedited prior authorization. The authority shall by January 15, 2013, perform a preliminary fiscal analysis of trends in implementing the best practices in this subsection, focusing on outlier hospitals with high rates of unnecessary visits by medicaid clients, high emergency room visit rates for patient review and coordination clients, low rates of completion of treatment plans for patient review and coordination clients assigned to the hospital, and high rates of prescribed long-acting opiates. In cooperation with the leadership of the hospital, medical, and emergency physician associations, additional efforts shall be focused on assisting those outlier hospitals and providers to achieve more substantial savings. The authority by January 15, 2013, will report to the legislature about whether assumed savings based on preliminary trend and forecasted data are on target and if additional best practices or other actions need to be implemented.
If necessary, pursuant to RCW 34.05.350(1)(c), the authority may employ emergency rulemaking to achieve the reductions assumed in the appropriations under this section.
Nothing in this subsection shall in any way impact the authority's ability to adopt and implement policies pertaining to the patient review and coordination program.
