COMMITTEE REPORT

April 2, 1991

H. 3227

Introduced by REPS. Boan and McElveen

S. Printed 4/2/91--S.

Read the first time February 13, 1991.

THE COMMITTEE ON MEDICAL AFFAIRS

To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (H. 3227), directing the Health and Human Services Finance Commission to review the Medicaid eligibility requirements, etc., respectfully

REPORT:

That they have duly and carefully considered the same, and recommend that the same do pass:

JOE WILSON, for Committee.

A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

DIRECTING THE HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES FINANCE COMMISSION TO REVIEW THE MEDICAID ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS AND DETERMINE THE NUMBER OF ELIGIBLE MEDICAID RECIPIENTS WHO ARE DENIED BENEFITS BECAUSE OF FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH MEDICAID PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS.

Whereas, the South Carolina Joint Insurance Study Committee has undertaken a study to reduce the rate of increase in health care costs in South Carolina and the number of the uninsured population; and

Whereas, the Joint Health Care Planning and Oversight Committee currently is studying the Medicaid procedural requirements and should be commended for its efforts; and

Whereas, one finding of the committee is that a large number of eligible Medicaid recipients are not offered benefits because of procedural denials; and

Whereas, the uninsured population could be reduced if the number of eligible Medicaid recipients being denied benefits through procedural denials is reduced. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the Health and Human Services Finance Commission conduct a review of the Medicaid eligibility requirements to determine the number of eligible Medicaid recipients being denied benefits because of failure to comply with Medicaid procedural requirements.
