BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
NEW SECTION. Sec. 101 (1) The legislature finds that the
opportunity to implement medicaid expansion for adults with incomes
below one hundred and thirty-three percent of the federal poverty level
provides the nexus to streamline the medicaid program, improve the
program efficiency, and maximize federal funding to save millions of
dollars in the state budget while ensuring additional funding is
available for the private health delivery system.
(2) Certain parameters must be established as a condition to
implement the medicaid expansion defined in the social security act
section 1902(a)(10)(A)(i)(VIII) including, but not limited to, the
following: Development of a budget circuit breaker, implementation of
personal responsibility for enrollees through cost-sharing and through
individual incentives, implementation of enhanced program performance
expectations, and elimination of an array of separate medical programs.
The health care authority is also directed to make program improvements
that ensure enrollees a choice of health plans, monitor crowd-out of
employer coverage, and report on opportunities to integrate behavioral
health services with the medical program.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 201 A new section is added to chapter 74.09
RCW to read as follows:
(1) The authority is authorized to implement the medicaid expansion

appropriations act, as long as the federal medical assistance
percentages defined in the social security act, section 1905(y), remain
at the levels outlined in law. A circuit breaker is provided to ensure
the state budget is not adversely impacted by the federal government.
(2) If the federal medical assistance percentage for the expansion
falls below ninety percent, the authority shall ensure that the state
does not incur any additional costs above what would have been incurred
had the federal authority remained at ninety percent. The director is
authorized to make any necessary program adjustments to comply with
this requirement, including adding or adjusting premiums, modifying
benefits, or reducing optional programs.
(3) To the extent a waiver is needed to accomplish this, the
director shall promptly apply for such waiver. If a waiver is not
approved, the expansion program shall be closed upon appropriate
notification to the legislature and enrollees.

authority under federal demonstration waivers granted under section
1115(a) of Title XI of the federal social security act;
(((e))) (d)(i) In negotiating with managed health care systems the

described in RCW 43.70.533, including allocation of funds to support
provider participation in the training, unless the managed care system

chronic care management.
(ii)(A) Health home services contracted for under this subsection
may be prioritized to enrollees with complex, high cost, or multiple
chronic conditions.
(B) Contracts that include the items in (((e))) (d)(i)(C) through

this is not possible or feasible, the authority may enter into prepaid
capitation contracts that do not include inpatient care;
(((h))) (g) The authority shall define those circumstances under
which a managed health care system is responsible for out-of-plan
services and assure that recipients shall not be charged for such
services;
(((i))) (h) Nothing in this section prevents the authority from

documents the baseline health status and allows for monitoring of
health improvements and outcome measures.
(b) Contracts may allow plans to offer small incentives for
enrollees to participate in prevention and wellness activities.
(4) The authority shall ensure that publicly supported community
health centers and providers in rural areas, who show serious intent

Oregon and other states in this geographical region in order to develop
recommendations to be presented to the appropriate federal agencies and
the United States congress for improving health care of the poor, while
controlling related costs.
(((5))) (6) The legislature finds that competition in the managed
health care marketplace is enhanced, in the long term, by the existence
of a large number of managed health care system options for medicaid
clients. In a managed care delivery system, whose goal is to focus on
prevention, primary care, and improved enrollee health status,
continuity in care relationships is of substantial importance, and
disruption to clients and health care providers should be minimized.
To help ensure these goals are met, the following principles shall
guide the authority in its healthy options managed health care
purchasing efforts:
(a) All managed health care systems should have an opportunity to
contract with the authority to the extent that minimum contracting
requirements defined by the authority are met, at payment rates that
enable the authority to operate as far below appropriated spending
levels as possible, consistent with the principles established in this
section.
(b) Managed health care systems should compete for the award of
contracts and assignment of medicaid beneficiaries who do not
voluntarily select a contracting system, based upon:
(i) Demonstrated commitment to or experience in serving low-income
populations;
(ii) Quality of services provided to enrollees;
(iii) Accessibility, including appropriate utilization, of services
offered to enrollees;
(iv) Demonstrated capability to perform contracted services,
including ability to supply an adequate provider network;
(v) Payment rates; and
(vi) The ability to meet other specifically defined contract
requirements established by the authority, including consideration of
past and current performance and participation in other state or
federal health programs as a contractor.
(c) Consideration should be given to using multiple year
contracting periods.
(d) Quality, accessibility, and demonstrated commitment to serving
low-income populations shall be given significant weight in the
contracting, evaluation, and assignment process.
(e) All contractors that are regulated health carriers must meet
state minimum net worth requirements as defined in applicable state
laws. The authority shall adopt rules establishing the minimum net
worth requirements for contractors that are not regulated health
carriers. This subsection does not limit the authority of the
Washington state health care authority to take action under a contract
upon finding that a contractor's financial status seriously jeopardizes
the contractor's ability to meet its contract obligations.
(f) Procedures for resolution of disputes between the authority and
contract bidders or the authority and contracting carriers related to
the award of, or failure to award, a managed care contract must be
clearly set out in the procurement document.
(((6))) (7) The authority may apply the principles set forth in
subsection (((5))) (6) of this section to its managed health care
purchasing efforts on behalf of clients receiving supplemental security
income benefits to the extent appropriate.
(((7))) (8) A managed health care system shall pay a
nonparticipating provider that provides a service covered under this
chapter to the system's enrollee no more than the lowest amount paid
for that service under the managed health care system's contracts with
similar providers in the state.
(((8))) (9) For services covered under this chapter to medical
assistance or medical care services enrollees and provided on or after
August 24, 2011, nonparticipating providers must accept as payment in
full the amount paid by the managed health care system under subsection
(((7))) (8) of this section in addition to any deductible, coinsurance,
or copayment that is due from the enrollee for the service provided.
An enrollee is not liable to any nonparticipating provider for covered
services, except for amounts due for any deductible, coinsurance, or
copayment under the terms and conditions set forth in the managed
health care system contract to provide services under this section.
(((9))) (10) Pursuant to federal managed care access standards, 42
C.F.R. Sec. 438, managed health care systems must maintain a network of
appropriate providers that is supported by written agreements
sufficient to provide adequate access to all services covered under the
contract with the ((department)) authority, including hospital-based
physician services. The ((department)) authority will monitor and
periodically report on the proportion of services provided by
contracted providers and nonparticipating providers, by county, for
each managed health care system to ensure that managed health care
systems are meeting network adequacy requirements. No later than
January 1st of each year, the ((department)) authority will review and
report its findings to the appropriate policy and fiscal committees of
the legislature for the preceding state fiscal year.
(((10))) (11) Subsections (((7))) (8) through (((9))) (10) of this
section expire July 1, 2016.
(12) The authority must develop contract performance measures that
demonstrate meaningful measurement of enrollee health status and
wellness, efforts by the managed care plan to increase enrollee
participation in meaningful activities including a wellness visit, and
application of evidence-based practices. The performance measures
shall assist the authority and the legislature in monitoring managed
care plan accountability and monitoring for limited access to
appropriate care or fraud.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 305 A new section is added to chapter 74.09
RCW to read as follows:
(1) The authority, in cooperation with the department, must
complete a study on the integration of the behavioral health system
into the medical purchasing. The medicaid expansion and the
implementation of mental health parity in the medical benefits provide
the natural opportunity to redesign the medical package and align the
delivery systems to ensure enrollees can access the full scope of
medical care, including mental health services and chemical dependency
services, as part of their comprehensive medical package.
(2) The integration of the behavioral health services may include
contracting with the regional support networks as providers within the
managed care contracts, or other community-based delivery strategies
that ensure the full range of care is available to enrollees, while
providing an accountable contract to monitor performance and manage
costs efficiently and effectively.
(3) The study must identify the pathway to integration with a focus
on administrative efficiency, seamless delivery of care for enrollees,
and critical connectivity with social support systems, crisis
intervention systems, and criminal justice systems.
(4) The study must be submitted to the governor and the legislature
by October 1, 2014, and must be submitted with recommendations for the
necessary statutory changes and the budget transition.
Sec. 401 RCW 74.09.053 and 2009 c 568 s 6 and 2009 c 479 s 62 are
each reenacted and amended to read as follows:
(1) Beginning in November 2012, the department of social and health
services, in coordination with the health care authority, shall by
November 15th of each year report to the legislature:
(a) The number of medical assistance recipients who: (i) Upon
enrollment or recertification had reported being employed, and
beginning with the 2008 report, the month and year they reported being
hired; or (ii) upon enrollment or recertification had reported being

department shall report the basis for their medical assistance
eligibility, including but not limited to family medical coverage,
transitional medical assistance, children's medical coverage, aged
coverage, or coverage for persons with disabilities; member months; and
the total cost to the state for these recipients, expressed as general
fund-state and general fund-federal dollars. The information shall be
reported by employer size for employers having more than fifty
employees as recipients or with dependents as recipients. This
information shall be provided for the preceding January and June of
that year.
(b) The following aggregated information: (i) The number of
employees who are recipients or with dependents as recipients by
private ((and governmental)) employers; (ii) the number of employees
who are recipients or with dependents as recipients by employer size
for employers with fifty or fewer employees, fifty-one to one hundred
employees, one hundred one to one thousand employees, one thousand one
to five thousand employees and more than five thousand employees; and
(iii) the number of employees who are recipients or with dependents as
recipients by industry type.
(2) For each aggregated classification, the report will include the
number of hours worked, the number of department of social and health
services covered lives, and the total cost to the state for these
recipients. This information shall be for each quarter of the
preceding year.
(3) Beginning in November 2015, reports must include information on
the medicaid enrollees that may have dropped employer coverage. Data
must be gathered to monitor any crowd-out of employer coverage related
to the expansion of medicaid coverage.
(4) Crowd-out data should be shared with the Washington state
institute for public policy for monitoring and inclusion in their grant
research on medicaid, and the agency must work with the United States
health and human services department to explore alternatives that may
allow an efficient method of providing premium assistance and help
enrollees retain their employer coverage or other private coverage if
cost-effective for the state.
