and implementation of the medicaid access program as established in 18
section 6 of this act.19
(2) Disbursements from the account may be made only:20
(a) To make payments to health care providers and managed care 21
organizations; 22
(b) To medicaid managed care organizations to fund the nonfederal 23
share of increased capitation payments based on their projected 24
assessment obligation established by the medicaid access program and 25

(c) To refund erroneous or excessive payments made by health 27
carriers and medicaid managed care organizations; and28

exhausted. In such a case, the authority may require health care 34

service categories included in this subsection. 21
