The bill provides additional appropriation for the various contracts related to the Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS). The contracts were increased to account for added responsibilities, and extended to minimize provider disruptions as the reprocurement for the MMIS is phased-in over the next several years. The bill also provides for additional funds related to the costs of providing Medicaid services in Idaho. This includes adjusting the appropriation to align with the appropriate fund source, paying for held payments that occurred in FY 2018, and increasing the appropriation to account for increased utilization. Of the total appropriation, $22,762,600 is for onetime trustee and benefit payment needs in FY 2019.
