A new factsheet, The Governor’s FY 2014 House 1 Budget Proposal,
describes the Governor's proposal for MassHealth (Medicaid) and other subsidized
health coverage programs. The budget proposes $13.6 billion in funding for
MassHealth and other subsidized health coverage programs and related activities,
which is an increase of $1 billion from FY 2013 spending.
The proposal reflects the
major changes that will occur when key provisions of the federal Affordable Care
Act (ACA) take effect in January 2014. In addition, the governor’s FY 2014
budget proposal includes funding for MassHealth hospital rate increases,
restoration of adult dental benefits, delivery system changes (including
alternative payment methodologies) and MassHealth administrative simplification
initiatives.
This budget brief is the first
in a series of fact sheets which will describe the effect of each budget
proposal on Health Care programs in Massachusetts. These briefs are produced by
the Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center in partnership with the Massachusetts
Law Reform Institute--and published by the Massachusetts Medicaid Policy
Institute (MMPI).
