Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The purpose of this bill is to create a health care plan for uninsured adults that provides primary and preventative care. The bill sets the plan's cost at $40 per month per subscriber, plus a modest co-payment by a subscriber for each visit to a provider. The bill's funding is to be provided by the State of West Virginia, the uninsured adult and his or her employer. The bill provides the Health Care Authority and the Director of the Public Employees Insurance Agency with the authority to develop the plan and to promulgate regulations. The bill also provides for licensing requirements for participating health care providers and provides the Health Care Authority with the authority to suspend, revoke or non-renewal providers' licenses and penalties.
As written , this legislation would have no fiscal impact on the Department of Health and Human Resources.
