S.D. 1
H.D. 2
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Sixth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2012
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred S.B. No. 2713, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO MEDICAID,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to:
(1) Clarify requirements for Medicaid liens for restitution for injury to a Medicaid recipient by a third party by:
(A) Requiring the Department of Human Services to provide to a person who caused injury to a Medicaid recipient a written notice of lien and an itemized list of payments to be reimbursed that identifies the provider of services, the dates of services, amounts billed, amounts paid, and dates of payments; and
(B) Creating a presumption of validity for the entire amount of the lien unless a specific line item charge or charges in the lien are contested on a good faith basis;
(2) Allow a community care foster family home six months to find another Medicaid client when the community care foster family home loses its only Medicaid client; and
(3) Change the age requirement for nurse aide substitute caregivers at community care foster family homes to 18 years to be consistent with federal law.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2713, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
