Pursuant to Chapter 679, Acts of Assembly of 1997, the State Corporation Commission shall annually, on or before June 30, 1998, and each year thereafter, calculate the premium differential between: (i) 0.75 percent of the direct gross subscriber fee income derived from eligible contracts and (ii) the amount of license tax revenue generated pursuant to subdivision A 4 of § 58.1-2501 for the immediately preceding taxable year and notify the Comptroller of the Commonwealth to transfer such amounts to the Family Access to Medical Insurance Security Plan Trust Fund as established on the books of the State Comptroller.

C. Every eligible applicant for health insurance as provided for in Title 32.1, Chapter 13, Code of Virginia, shall be enrolled and served in the program.
D. To the extent that appropriations in this Item are insufficient, the Department of Planning and Budget shall transfer general fund appropriation, as needed, from Medicaid Program Services (45600) and Medical Assistance Services for Low Income Children (46600), if available, into this Item to be used as state match for federal Title XXI funds.
E. The Department of Medical Assistance Services shall make the monthly capitation payment to managed care organizations for the member months of each month in the first week of the subsequent month.
F. If any part, section, subsection, paragraph, clause, or phrase of this Item or the application thereof is declared by the United States Department of Health and Human Services or the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to be in conflict with a federal law or regulation, such decisions shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Item, which shall remain in force as if this Item had passed without the conflicting part, section, subsection, paragraph, clause, or phrase. Further, if the United States Department of Health and Human Services or the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services determines that the process for accomplishing the intent of a part, section, subsection, paragraph, clause, or phrase of this Item is out of compliance or in conflict with federal law and regulation and recommends another method of accomplishing the same intent, the Director, Department of Medical Assistance Services, after consultation with the Attorney General, is authorized to pursue the alternative method.
G. The Department of Medical Assistance Services shall seek federal authority through waiver and State Plan amendments under Titles XIX and XXI of the Social Security Act to offer medically necessary treatment for substance use disorder in an Institution for Mental Diseases (IMD) for individuals enrolled in FAMIS MOMS, equivalent to such benefits offered to pregnant women under the Medicaid state plan and 1115 substance use disorder demonstration waiver. The department shall have the authority to promulgate emergency regulations to implement these amendments within 280 days or less from the enactment of this Act.

Services to these individuals shall be limited to those services covered under the Emergency Medicaid program. The Department shall have the authority to implement this change effective July 1, 2026, or consistent with the effective date in the State Plan Amendment approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), and prior to completion of any regulatory process.
