ColoradoLaw excludes certain managed care payments from state spending totals
When managed care entities pass federal or state money from Colorado’s health care department to a state department, the law excludes that money from state spending totals.
What it does
When a managed care entity passes federal or state money from the health care department to a state department, the law leaves that money out of the state spending calculation.
Argument forLeaving transferred money out of state spending totals could help avoid counting the same funds twice.
Argument againstLeaving these payments out of the state spending calculation could make it harder to track the full amount state departments receive.
More detail
The law leaves certain payments out of the state fiscal year spending calculation. It covers money the state department receives through that payment path; “managed care entity” has the meaning given to “MCE” in a separate state law provision. The exclusion applies when a managed care entity receives federal funds or state money from the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing and pays those funds or money to a state department.
