Appropriations made in this act to the 8 department of social and health services shall initially be allotted 9 as required by this act. Subsequent allotment modifications shall not 10 include transfers of moneys between sections of this act except as 11 expressly provided in this act, nor shall allotment modifications 12 permit moneys that are provided solely for a specified purpose to be 13 used for other than that purpose. 14 (2) The department of social and health services shall not 15 initiate any services that require expenditure of state general fund 16 moneys unless expressly authorized in this act or other law. The 17 department may seek, receive, and spend, under RCW 43.79.260 through 18 43.79.282, federal moneys not anticipated in this act as long as the 19 federal funding does not require expenditure of state moneys for the 20 program in excess of amounts anticipated in this act. If the 21 department receives unanticipated unrestricted federal moneys, those 22 moneys shall be spent for services authorized in this act or in any 23 other legislation providing appropriation authority, and an equal 24 amount of appropriated state general fund moneys shall lapse.

The legislature finds that cost reports, payment data from the 39 p. 192 HB 1197 federal government, historical utilization, economic data, and 1 clinical input constitute reliable data upon which to determine the 2 payment rates. 3 (4) The department shall to the maximum extent practicable use 4 the same system for delivery of spoken-language interpreter services 5 for social services appointments as the one established for medical 6 appointments in the health care authority. When contracting directly 7 with an individual to deliver spoken language interpreter services, 8 the department shall only contract with language access providers who 9 are working at a location in the state and who are state-certified or 10 state-authorized, except that when such a provider is not available, 11 the department may use a language access provider who meets other 12 certifications or standards deemed to meet state standards, including 13 interpreters in other states. 14 (5) Information technology projects or investments and proposed 15 projects or investments impacting time capture, payroll and payment 16 processes and systems, eligibility, case management, and 17 authorization systems within the department of social and health 18 services are subject to technical oversight by the office of the 19 chief information officer. 20 (6)(a) The department shall facilitate enrollment under the 21 medicaid expansion for clients applying for or receiving state funded 22 services from the department and its contractors.

The office 4 of the chief information officer shall maintain a statewide 5 perspective when collaborating with the coalition to ensure that 6 projects are planned for in a manner that ensures the efficient use 7 of state resources, support the adoption of a cohesive technology and 8 data architecture, and maximize federal financial participation. The 9 work of the coalition is subject to the conditions, limitations, and 10 review provided in section 701 of this act. 11 (8)(a) The appropriations to the department of social and health 12 services in this act must be expended for the programs and in the 13 amounts specified in this act.

However, the department may not transfer 18 state appropriations that are provided solely for a specified purpose 19 except as expressly provided in (b) of this subsection.20 (b) To the extent that transfers under (a) of this subsection are 21 insufficient to fund actual expenditures in excess of fiscal year 22 ((2024)) 2025 caseload forecasts and utilization assumptions in the 23 long-term care, developmental disabilities, and public assistance 24 programs, the department may transfer state appropriations that are 25 provided solely for a specified purpose. The department may not 26 transfer funds, and the director of the office of financial 27 management may not approve the transfer, unless the transfer is 28 consistent with the objective of conserving, to the maximum extent 29 possible, the expenditure of state funds. The director of the office 30 of financial management shall notify the appropriate fiscal 31 committees of the legislature in writing seven days prior to 32 approving any allotment modifications or transfers under this 33 subsection.

(($25,525,034,000))16 $26,303,591,00017 The appropriations in this section are subject to the following 18 conditions and limitations: 19 (1) The authority shall submit an application to the centers for 20 medicare and medicaid services to renew the 1115 demonstration waiver 21 for an additional five years as described in subsections (2), (3), 22 and (4) of this section. The authority may not accept or expend any 23 federal funds received under an 1115 demonstration waiver except as 24 described in this section unless the legislature has appropriated the 25 federal funding. To ensure compliance with legislative requirements 26 and terms and conditions of the waiver, the authority shall implement 27 the renewal of the 1115 demonstration waiver and reporting 28 requirements with oversight from the office of financial management. 29 The legislature finds that appropriate management of the renewal of 30 the 1115 demonstration waiver as set forth in subsections (2), (3), 31 and (4) of this section requires sound, consistent, timely, and 32 transparent oversight and analytic review in addition to lack of 33 redundancy with other established measures. The patient must be 34 considered first and foremost in the implementation and execution of 35 the demonstration waiver. To accomplish these goals, the authority 36 shall develop consistent performance measures that focus on 37 population health and health outcomes. The authority shall limit the 38 number of projects that accountable communities of health may 39 p. 271 HB 1197 participate in under initiative 1 to a maximum of six and shall seek 1 to develop common performance measures when possible. The joint 2 select committee on health care oversight will evaluate the measures 3 chosen: (a) For effectiveness and appropriateness; and (b) to provide 4 patients and health care providers with significant input into the 5 implementation of the demonstration waiver to promote improved 6 population health and patient health outcomes. In cooperation with 7 the department of social and health services, the authority shall 8 consult with and provide notification of work on applications for 9 federal waivers, including details on waiver duration, financial 10 implications, and potential future impacts on the state budget to the 11 joint select committee on health care oversight prior to submitting 12 these waivers for federal approval. Prior to final approval or 13 acceptance of funds by the authority, the authority shall submit the 14 special terms and conditions as submitted to the centers for medicare 15 and medicaid services and the anticipated budget for the duration of 16 the renewed waiver to the governor, the joint select committee on 17 health care, and the fiscal committees of the legislature. By federal 18 standard any programs created or funded by this waiver do not create 19 an entitlement. The demonstration period for the waiver as described 20 in subsections (2), (3), and (4) of this section begins July 1, 2023.21 (2)(a) (($342,398,000)) $394,249,000 of the general fund —federal 22 appropriation and (($213,592,000)) $195,181,000 of the general fund —23 local appropriation are provided solely for accountable communities 24 of health described in initiative 1 of the 1115 demonstration waiver 25 and this is the maximum amount that may be expended for this purpose. 26 In renewing this initiative, the authority shall consider local input 27 regarding community needs and shall limit total local projects to no 28 more than six.

Medicaid quality improvement program 5 payments do not count against the 1115 demonstration waiver spending 6 limits and are excluded from the waiver's budget neutrality 7 calculation. The authority may provide medicaid quality improvement 8 program payments to apple health managed care organizations and their 9 partnering providers as they meet designated milestones. Partnering 10 providers and apple health managed care organizations must work 11 together to achieve medicaid quality improvement program goals 12 according to the performance period timelines and reporting deadlines 13 as set forth by the authority. The authority may only use the 14 medicaid quality improvement program to support initiatives 1, 2, and 15 3 as described in the 1115 demonstration waiver and may not pursue 16 its use for other purposes. Any programs created or funded by the 17 medicaid quality improvement program do not constitute an entitlement 18 for clients or providers.

While these 38 p. 273 HB 1197 goals may have variation to account for unique community 1 demographics, measures should be standardized when possible.2 (3) (($87,665,000)) $34,126,000 of the general fund —federal 3 appropriation and (($87,666,000)) $34,118,000 of the general fund —4 local appropriation are provided solely for long-term support 5 services as described in initiative 2 of the 1115 demonstration 6 waiver as well as administrative expenses for initiative 3 and this 7 is the maximum amount that may be expended for this purpose.

The 10 director in cooperation with the secretary of the department of 11 social and health services shall report to the office of financial 12 management all of the expenditures of this section and shall provide 13 such fiscal data in the time, manner, and form requested. The 14 authority shall not supplement the amounts provided in this 15 subsection with any general fund —state moneys appropriated in this 16 section or any moneys that may be transferred pursuant to subsection 17 (1) of this section. 18 (4)(a) (($46,450,000)) $61,782,000 of the general fund —federal 19 appropriation and (($21,432,000)) $28,451,000 of the general fund —20 local appropriation are provided solely for supported housing and 21 employment services described in initiative 3a and 3b of the 1115 22 demonstration waiver and this is the maximum amount that may be 23 expended for this purpose. Under this initiative, the authority and 24 the department of social and health services shall ensure that 25 allowable and necessary services are provided to eligible clients as 26 identified by the department or its third-party administrator. The 27 authority and the department, in consultation with the medical 28 assistance expenditure forecast work group, shall ensure that 29 reasonable reimbursements are established for services deemed 30 necessary within an identified limit per individual. The authority 31 shall not supplement the amounts provided in this subsection with any 32 general fund—state moneys appropriated in this section or any moneys 33 that may be transferred pursuant to subsection (1) of this section. 34 The director shall report to the joint select committee on health 35 care oversight no less than quarterly on financial and health 36 outcomes. The director shall also report to the fiscal committees of 37 the legislature all of the expenditures of this subsection and shall 38 p. 274 HB 1197 provide such fiscal data in the time, manner, and form requested by 1 the legislative fiscal committees. 2 (b) (($28,156,000)) $32,309,000 of the general fund —federal 3 appropriation and (($22,067,000)) $23,969,000 of the general fund —4 local appropriation are provided solely for additional housing 5 supports described in the 1115 demonstration waiver and this is the 6 maximum amount that may be expended for this purpose.

Under these initiatives, the authority and 30 the department of social and health services shall ensure that 31 allowable and necessary services are provided to eligible clients as 32 identified by the authority or its third-party administrator. Before 33 authorizing services, eligibility for initiative 3a or 3b of the 1115 34 demonstration waiver must first be determined. 35 (6) Sufficient amounts are appropriated in this subsection to 36 implement the medicaid expansion as defined in the social security 37 act, section 1902(a)(10)(A)(i)(VIII). 38 p. 275 HB 1197 (7) The legislature finds that medicaid payment rates, as 1 calculated by the health care authority pursuant to the 2 appropriations in this act, bear a reasonable relationship to the 3 costs incurred by efficiently and economically operated facilities 4 for providing quality services and will be sufficient to enlist 5 enough providers so that care and services are available to the 6 extent that such care and services are available to the general 7 population in the geographic area. The legislature finds that the 8 cost reports, payment data from the federal government, historical 9 utilization, economic data, and clinical input constitute reliable 10 data upon which to determine the payment rates. 11 (8) Based on quarterly expenditure reports and caseload 12 forecasts, if the health care authority estimates that expenditures 13 for the medical assistance program will exceed the appropriations, 14 the health care authority shall take steps including but not limited 15 to reduction of rates or elimination of optional services to reduce 16 expenditures so that total program costs do not exceed the annual 17 appropriation authority. 18 (9) In determining financial eligibility for medicaid-funded 19 services, the health care authority is authorized to disregard 20 recoveries by Holocaust survivors of insurance proceeds or other 21 assets, as defined in RCW 48.104.030. 22 (10) The legislature affirms that it is in the state's interest 23 for Harborview medical center to remain an economically viable 24 component of the state's health care system. 25 (11) When a person is ineligible for medicaid solely by reason of 26 residence in an institution for mental diseases, the health care 27 authority shall provide the person with the same benefits as he or 28 she would receive if eligible for medicaid, using state-only funds to 29 the extent necessary. 30 (12) $4,261,000 of the general fund —state appropriation for 31 fiscal year 2024, $4,261,000 of the general fund —state appropriation 32 for fiscal year 2025, and $8,522,000 of the general fund —federal 33 appropriation are provided solely for low-income disproportionate 34 share hospital payments. 35 (13) Within the amounts appropriated in this section, the health 36 care authority shall provide disproportionate share hospital payments 37 to hospitals that provide services to children in the children's 38 health program who are not eligible for services under Title XIX or 39 p. 276 HB 1197 XXI of the federal social security act due to their citizenship 1 status. 2 (14) $7,000,000 of the general fund —federal appropriation is 3 provided solely for supplemental payments to nursing homes operated 4 by public hospital districts. The public hospital district shall be 5 responsible for providing the required nonfederal match for the 6 supplemental payment, and the payments shall not exceed the maximum 7 allowable under federal rules. It is the legislature's intent that 8 the payments shall be supplemental to and shall not in any way offset 9 or reduce the payments calculated and provided in accordance with 10 part E of chapter 74.46 RCW. It is the legislature's further intent 11 that costs otherwise allowable for rate-setting and settlement 12 against payments under chapter 74.46 RCW shall not be disallowed 13 solely because such costs have been paid by revenues retained by the 14 nursing home from these supplemental payments. The supplemental 15 payments are subject to retrospective interim and final cost 16 settlements based on the nursing homes' as-filed and final medicare 17 cost reports. The timing of the interim and final cost settlements 18 shall be at the health care authority's discretion. During either the 19 interim cost settlement or the final cost settlement, the health care 20 authority shall recoup from the public hospital districts the 21 supplemental payments that exceed the medicaid cost limit and/or the 22 medicare upper payment limit. The health care authority shall apply 23 federal rules for identifying the eligible incurred medicaid costs 24 and the medicare upper payment limit. 25 (15) The health care authority shall continue the inpatient 26 hospital certified public expenditures program for the 2023-2025 27 fiscal biennium. The program shall apply to all public hospitals, 28 including those owned or operated by the state, except those 29 classified as critical access hospitals or state psychiatric 30 institutions. The health care authority shall submit reports to the 31 governor and legislature by November 1, 2023, and by November 1, 32 2024, that evaluate whether savings continue to exceed costs for this 33 program. If the certified public expenditures (CPE) program in its 34 current form is no longer cost-effective to maintain, the health care 35 authority shall submit a report to the governor and legislature 36 detailing cost-effective alternative uses of local, state, and 37 federal resources as a replacement for this program. During fiscal 38 year 2024 and fiscal year 2025, hospitals in the program shall be 39 paid and shall retain 100 percent of the federal portion of the 40 p. 277 HB 1197 allowable hospital cost for each medicaid inpatient fee-for-service 1 claim payable by medical assistance and 100 percent of the federal 2 portion of the maximum disproportionate share hospital payment 3 allowable under federal regulations. For the purpose of determining 4 the amount of any state grant under this subsection, payments will 5 include the federal portion of medicaid program supplemental payments 6 received by the hospitals. Inpatient medicaid payments shall be 7 established using an allowable methodology that approximates the cost 8 of claims submitted by the hospitals. Payments made to each hospital 9 in the program in each fiscal year of the biennium shall be compared 10 to a baseline amount. The baseline amount will be determined by the 11 total of (a) the inpatient claim payment amounts that would have been 12 paid during the fiscal year had the hospital not been in the CPE 13 program based on the reimbursement rates developed, implemented, and 14 consistent with policies approved in the 2023-2025 biennial operating 15 appropriations act and in effect on July 1, 2015, (b) one-half of the 16 indigent assistance disproportionate share hospital payment amounts 17 paid to and retained by each hospital during fiscal year 2005, and 18 (c) all of the other disproportionate share hospital payment amounts 19 paid to and retained by each hospital during fiscal year 2005 to the 20 extent the same disproportionate share hospital programs exist in the 21 2019-2021 fiscal biennium. If payments during the fiscal year exceed 22 the hospital's baseline amount, no additional payments will be made 23 to the hospital except the federal portion of allowable 24 disproportionate share hospital payments for which the hospital can 25 certify allowable match. If payments during the fiscal year are less 26 than the baseline amount, the hospital will be paid a state grant 27 equal to the difference between payments during the fiscal year and 28 the applicable baseline amount. Payment of the state grant shall be 29 made in the applicable fiscal year and distributed in monthly 30 payments. The grants will be recalculated and redistributed as the 31 baseline is updated during the fiscal year. The grant payments are 32 subject to an interim settlement within 11 months after the end of 33 the fiscal year. A final settlement shall be performed. To the extent 34 that either settlement determines that a hospital has received funds 35 in excess of what it would have received as described in this 36 subsection, the hospital must repay the excess amounts to the state 37 when requested. 38 (16) The health care authority shall seek public-private 39 partnerships and federal funds that are or may become available to 40 p. 278 HB 1197 provide ongoing support for outreach and education efforts under the 1 federal children's health insurance program reauthorization act of 2 2009. 3 (17) The health care authority shall target funding for maternity 4 support services towards pregnant women with factors that lead to 5 higher rates of poor birth outcomes, including hypertension, a 6 preterm or low birth weight birth in the most recent previous birth, 7 a cognitive deficit or developmental disability, substance abuse, 8 severe mental illness, unhealthy weight or failure to gain weight, 9 tobacco use, or African American or Native American race. The health 10 care authority shall prioritize evidence-based practices for delivery 11 of maternity support services. To the extent practicable, the health 12 care authority shall develop a mechanism to increase federal funding 13 for maternity support services by leveraging local public funding for 14 those services. 15 (18) The authority shall submit reports to the governor and the 16 legislature by September 15, 2023, and no later than September 15, 17 2024, that delineate the number of individuals in medicaid managed 18 care, by carrier, age, gender, and eligibility category, receiving 19 preventative services and vaccinations. The reports should include 20 baseline and benchmark information from the previous two fiscal years 21 and should be inclusive of, but not limited to, services recommended 22 under the United States preventative services task force, advisory 23 committee on immunization practices, early and periodic screening, 24 diagnostic, and treatment (EPSDT) guidelines, and other relevant 25 preventative and vaccination medicaid guidelines and requirements.26 (19) Managed care contracts must incorporate accountability 27 measures that monitor patient health and improved health outcomes, 28 and shall include an expectation that each patient receive a wellness 29 examination that documents the baseline health status and allows for 30 monitoring of health improvements and outcome measures.31 (20) Sufficient amounts are appropriated in this section for the 32 authority to provide an adult dental benefit. 33 (21) The health care authority shall coordinate with the 34 department of social and health services to provide referrals to the 35 Washington health benefit exchange for clients that will be 36 ineligible for medicaid. 37 (22) To facilitate a single point of entry across public and 38 medical assistance programs, and to maximize the use of federal 39 funding, the health care authority, the department of social and 40 p. 279 HB 1197 health services, and the health benefit exchange will coordinate 1 efforts to expand HealthPlanfinder access to public assistance and 2 medical eligibility staff.
