Status Report on Prior-Year Finding:

The Department complied with CMS’ request for a prospective methodology. Using actual CHPlus encounter data and costs, the Department calculated a pmpm amount for abortion services. The pmpm amount is used to calculate the dollars to be carved out and shifted to the State prior to it making payments to the CHPlus health plans. This method continues to ensure that only State dollars are used to pay for abortion services, and the front-end approach improves upon the former methods by making it prospective.

Anticipated Completion Date:

Corrective action taken and implemented.
