Summary
This bill clarifies how certain interagency payments are treated for state budget accounting. It establishes that when a managed care entity receives federal or state funds from the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing and passes those funds to the Department of Human Services, the money received by the Department of Human Services does not count toward the state's fiscal year spending calculations. This provision prevents these pass-through payments from being duplicatively counted in state spending totals.
