Explanation

(This amendment provides $87,500 from the general fund and $262,500 from federal Medicaid matching funds to support the All Payer Claims Database (APCD). Senate Bill 1216 would make participation in the APCD mandatory. This amendment allows the Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS) to access enhanced federal funding to support its use of the APCD. Medicaid can use enhanced federal funding at a 75 percent federal matching rate to support the maintenance and operations of the APCD. At least seven other states (Oregon, Florida, New York, Colorado, Rhode Island, Utah and New Hampshire) currently pay for a portion of the maintenance and operations of their APCD using Medicaid enhanced federal funding. Furthermore, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has confirmed that this type of funding can be available to Virginia's APCD if DMAS submits and CMS approves an Operational Advanced Planning Document (O-APD) for the project and payments. This amount is proportional to the volume of APCD claims that are associated with Virginia Medicaid members.)
