House Concurrent Resolution No. 30 directs the Medicaid Legislative Review Panel in Idaho to study the implications of implementing comprehensive Medicaid managed care in the state. The resolution highlights the importance of this transition, noting that 75% of Medicaid beneficiaries nationally receive care through managed care organizations. It emphasizes the complexity of moving to a comprehensive managed care system, which will affect various aspects of healthcare delivery, participant health outcomes, and budgetary considerations.

To facilitate this study, the resolution authorizes the Medicaid Legislative Review Panel to seek the assistance of a consultant or analyst with expertise in comprehensive Medicaid managed care, subject to approval from legislative leadership. The goal is to gather necessary economic and policy research to inform the panel and the Legislature on the potential impacts and best practices for implementing this system in Idaho.
