STAND. COM. REP. NO. 3413
Honolulu, Hawaii
RE: S.C.R. No. 153
S.D. 1
Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui
President of the Senate
Twenty-Sixth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2012
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 153, S.D. 1, entitled:
"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES TO IMPLEMENT A DEMONSTRATION PROJECT TO INTEGRATE HEALTHCARE FOR INDIVIDUALS ENROLLED IN BOTH MEDICAID AND MEDICARE,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to request the Department of Human Services to implement a demonstration project to integrate healthcare for individuals enrolled in both Medicaid and Medicare.
Your Committee finds that the Department of Human Services has already begun working with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services on a demonstration dual integration project that includes Centers-approved dual eligible special needs plans. Your Committee also finds that integrating the management of Medicare and Medicaid health services has the potential to decrease costs and increase the quality of health care by closing coverage gaps, decreasing fragmented care, and streamlining the administrative process.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 153, S.D. 1, and recommends its adoption.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
