Summary: The Joint Resolution introduced by Representatives Bennett, Speakman, Cortvriend, Donovan, and Cruz seeks to amend the Medicaid Section 1115 demonstration waiver requests and renewals as part of the Rhode Island Medicaid Reform Act. The resolution aims to enhance the state's Medicaid program by allowing for adjustments that align with anticipated state revenue growth. It includes provisions for the executive office of health and human services to pursue federal financing opportunities and make directed payments to hospitals for inpatient and outpatient services. The resolution requires legislative approval for these amendments and authorizes the secretary of the executive office of health and human services to implement necessary changes to the Medicaid state plan and related regulations. The proposed changes are intended to improve service quality, access, and cost-effectiveness while ensuring that beneficiaries are not adversely impacted and that the budget for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 is not exceeded. The resolution is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
