AN ACT CONCERNING STATE-WIDE EXPANSION OF THE PRIMARY CARE CASE MANAGEMENT PILOT PROGRAM.

As Amended by House "A" (LCO 3868)

House Calendar No. : 173

Senate Calendar No. : 488

Agency Affected	Fund-Effect
Department of Social Services	GF - Uncertain

Note: GF=General Fund

Municipal Impact: None

Explanation

The bill requires the Department of Social Services (DSS) to expand the current primary care case management (PCCM) pilot program to Torrington and Putnam.

Comparative per member, per month costs between the PCCM pilot and the standard HUSKY managed care program are not available as the anticipated external evaluation has not yet been completed. As such, the fiscal impact of expanding the alternative PCCM model is not known.

House “A” adjusted the schedule for rolling out new PCCM sites. It did not alter the fiscal impact of the underlying bill.

The Out Years

The annualized ongoing fiscal impact identified above would continue into the future subject to inflation.
