                                 A BILL


 
 To provide for health care for every American and to control the cost 
           and enhance the quality of the health care system.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``American Health Security Act of 
2013''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS; SENSE OF THE SENATE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds as follows:
            (1) While the United States of America spends on average 
        nearly twice as much per capita on health care services as the 
        next most costly nation, the United States ranks 32d among all 
        nations on life expectancy, and 41st on infant mortality.
            (2) The number of uninsured Americans held at an 
        unacceptable rate of 15.7 percent in 2011, more than 48,000,000 
        Americans.
            (3) This is the result of a continued decline in private 
        health coverage, primarily in employer-sponsored insurance.
            (4) Small businesses around the country cannot afford to 
        reinvest in their companies and create new jobs because their 
        health care bills are going up 10 or 15 percent every year.
            (5) American businesses are at an economic disadvantage, 
        because their health care costs are so much higher than in 
        other countries. Notably, automobile manufacturers spend more 
        on health care per automobile than on steel.
    (b) Sense of the Senate Concerning Urgency of a Medicare-for-All 
Type Single Payer Health Care System.--It is the sense of the Senate 
that the 113th Congress should enact a Medicare-for-All Single Payer 
Health Care System to make American companies more competitive and to 
stimulate job creation.
    (c) Sense of the Senate Concerning the Status of Health Care.--It 
is the sense of the Senate that the 113th Congress should recognize and 
proclaim that health care is a human right.
    (d) Sense of the Senate Concerning State Flexibility.--It is the 
sense of the Senate that in order to provide high quality health care 
coverage for all Americans while controlling costs in order to make 
American companies more competitive, individual States should be given 
maximum flexibility in designing health care programs to improve the 
individual experience of care and the health of populations, and to 
reduce the per capita costs of care for each State.
    (e) Sense of the Senate Concerning a New Health Care System.--It is 
the sense of the Senate that--
            (1) a new single payer health care system should build on 
        achievements and commitments in the Patient Protection and 
        Affordable Care Act (Public Law 111-148) and the Health Care 
        and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-152), 
        to strengthen primary care and public health, to raise the 
        quality of patient care, to develop new models of patient care, 
        to develop the capacity of the healthcare workforce, to 
        increase transparency in the payment of health care system 
        costs, and to strengthen enforcement against fraud and abuse;
            (2) the possibilities of achieving efficiencies through 
        integrated care are within reach with the spread of electronic 
        support systems, health information exchanges, and the 
        possibilities for virtual integration and instant 
        communication; and
            (3) policies should be put in place to ensure higher 
        quality, better prevention, and lower per capita costs, 
        including--
                    (A) global budget caps on total health care 
                spending;
                    (B) measurement of and fixed accountability for the 
                health status and health needs of designated 
                populations;
                    (C) improved standardized measures of care and per 
                capita costs across sites and through time that are 
                transparent; and
                    (D) changes in professional education curricula to 
                ensure that clinicians are enabled to change and 
                improve their processes of care.

              PROGRAM.

    (a) In General.--There is hereby established in the United States a 
State-based American Health Security Program to be administered by the 
individual States in accordance with Federal standards specified in, or 
established under, this Act.
    (b) State Health Security Programs.--In order for a State to be 
eligible to receive payment under section 604, a State shall establish 
a State health security program in accordance with this Act.
    (c) State Defined.--
            (1) In general.--In this Act, subject to paragraph (2), the 
        term ``State'' means each of the 50 States and the District of 
        Columbia.
            (2) Election.--If the Governor of Puerto Rico, the Virgin 
        Islands, Guam, American Samoa, or the Northern Mariana Islands 
        certifies to the President that the legislature of the 
        Commonwealth or territory has enacted legislation desiring that 
        the Commonwealth or territory be included as a State under the 
        provisions of this Act, such Commonwealth or territory shall be 
        included as a ``State'' under this Act beginning January 1 of

        the notification.

SEC. 102. UNIVERSAL ENTITLEMENT.

    (a) In General.--Every individual who is a resident of the United 
States is entitled to benefits for health care services under this Act

    (b) Treatment of Other Individuals.--
            (1) By board.--The Board also may make eligible for

        eligibility of such individuals, in order--
                    (A) to preserve the public health of communities;
                    (B) to compensate States for the additional health 
                care financing burdens created by such individuals; and
                    (C) to prevent adverse financial and medical 
                consequences of uncompensated care,
        while inhibiting travel and immigration to the United States 
        for the sole purpose of obtaining health care services.
            (2) By states.--Any State health security program may make 
        individuals described in paragraph (1) eligible for benefits at

            (3) at social services locations;
            (4) at out-reach sites (such as provider and practitioner

            (5) at other locations (including post offices and schools) 
        accessible to a broad cross-section of individuals eligible to 
        enroll.
    (c) Issuance of Health Security Cards.--In conjunction with an 
individual's enrollment for benefits under this Act, the State health 
security program shall provide for the issuance of a health security 
card (to be referred to as a ``smart card'') that shall be used for

care services covered under this Act, each State health security 
program--

        eligible for, such benefits under the program;
            (2) shall provide continuation of payment for covered 
        health care services to individuals who have terminated their 
        residence in the State and established their residence in 
        another State, for the duration of any waiting period imposed 
        in the State of new residency for establishing entitlement to, 
        or eligibility for, such services; and
            (3) shall provide for the payment for health care services 
        covered under this Act provided to individuals while 
        temporarily absent from the State based on the following 
        principles:
                    (A) Payment for such health care services is at the 
                rate that is approved by the State health security 
                program in the State in which the services are 
                provided, unless the States concerned agree to 
                apportion the cost between them in a different manner.
                    (B) Payment for such health care services provided 
                outside the United States is made on the basis of the 
                amount that would have been paid by the State health 
                security program for similar services rendered in the 
                State, with due regard, in the case of hospital 
                services, to the size of the hospital, standards of 
                service, and other relevant factors.
    (b) Cross-Border Arrangements.--A State health security program for

                the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 if such section were

                    (B) due to cognitive or mental impairments, to 
                require supervision because the individual behaves in a 
                manner that poses health or safety hazards to himself 
                or herself or others; or
                    (C) due to cognitive or mental impairments, to 
                require queuing to perform activities of daily living.
            (2) Children.--Individuals under 18 years of age determined 
        (in a manner specified by the Board) to meet such alternative 
        standard of disability for children as the Board develops. Such 
        alternative standard shall be comparable to the standard for 
        adults and appropriate for children.
    (b) Limit on Services.--
            (1) In general.--The aggregate expenditures by a State 
        health security program with respect to home and community-
        based long-term care services in a period (specified by the 
        Board) may not exceed 65 percent (or such alternative ratio as 
        the Board establishes under paragraph (2)) of the average of 
        the amount of payment that would have been made under the 
        program during the period if all the home-based long-term care 
        beneficiaries had been residents of nursing facilities in the 
        same area in which the services were provided.
            (2) Alternative ratio.--The Board may establish for 
        purposes of paragraph (1) an alternative ratio (of payments for 
        home and community-based long-term care services to payments 
        for nursing facility services) as the Board determines to be 
        more consistent with the goal of providing cost-effective long-
        term care in the most appropriate and least restrictive 
        setting.

201(a) if they have been provided in accordance with such guideline or 
in accordance with such guidelines as are provided by the State health 
security program consistent with title V. For purposes of this 
subsection, a service shall be considered to have been provided in 
accordance with a practice guideline if the health care provider

                            (ii) the making of payments under this Act 
                        (including the examination of records as may be 
                        necessary for the verification of information 
                        on which payments are based);

                        State may specify.
                    (D) The provider agrees not to bill the program for

                individual, the provider agrees not to employ or use 
                for the provision of health services any individual or 
                other provider who or which has had a participation 
                agreement under this subsection terminated for cause.
                    (F) In the case of a provider paid under a fee-for-
                service basis under section 612, the provider agrees to 
                submit bills and any required supporting documentation 
                relating to the provision of covered services within 30 
                days (or such shorter period as a State health security 
                program may require) after the date of providing such 
                services.
            (2) Termination of participation agreements.--
                    (A) In general.--Participation agreements may be 
                terminated, with appropriate notice--
                            (i) by the Board or a State health security 
                        program for failure to meet the requirements of 
                        this title; or
                            (ii) by a provider.
                    (B) Termination process.--Providers shall be 
                provided notice and a reasonable opportunity to correct 
                deficiencies before the Board or a State health 
                security program terminates an agreement unless a more 
                immediate termination is required for public safety or 
                similar reasons.

                      TITLE V--QUALITY ASSESSMENT

SEC. 501. AMERICAN HEALTH SECURITY QUALITY COUNCIL.

    (a) Establishment.--There is hereby established an American Health 
Security Quality Council (in this title referred to as the 
``Council'').
    (b) Duties of the Council.--The Council shall perform the following 
duties:
            (1) Practice guidelines.--The Council shall review and 
        evaluate each practice guideline developed under part B of 
        title IX of the Public Health Service Act. The Council shall 
        determine whether the guideline should be recognized as a 
        national practice guideline to be used under section 204(d) for 
        purposes of determining payments under a State health security 
        program.
            (2) Standards of quality, performance measures, and medical 
        review criteria.--The Council shall review and evaluate each 
        standard of quality, performance measure, and medical review 
        criterion developed under part B of title IX of the Public 
        Health Service Act. The Council shall determine whether the 
        standard, measure, or criterion is appropriate for use in 
        assessing or reviewing the quality of services provided by 
        State health security programs, health care institutions, or 
        health care professionals.
            (3) Criteria for entities conducting quality reviews.--The 
        Council shall develop minimum criteria for competence for 
        entities that can qualify to conduct ongoing and continuous 
        external quality review for State quality review programs under 
        section 503. Such criteria shall require such an entity to be 
        administratively independent of the individual or board that 
        administers the State health security program and shall ensure 
        that such entities do not provide financial incentives to 
        reviewers to favor one pattern of practice over another. The 
        Council shall ensure coordination and reporting by such 
        entities to ensure national consistency in quality standards.
            (4) Reporting.--The Council shall report to the Board 
        annually on the conduct of activities under such title and 
        shall report to the Board annually specifically on findings 
        from outcomes research and development of practice guidelines 
        that may affect the Board's determination of coverage of 
        services under section 401(f)(1)(G).

        members appointed by the President. The President shall first 
        appoint individuals on a timely basis so as to provide for the

            (2) Selection of members.--Each member of the Council shall 
        be a member of a health profession. Five members of the Council 
        shall be physicians. Individuals shall be appointed to the 
        Council on the basis of national reputations for clinical and 
        academic excellence. To the greatest extent feasible, the 
        membership of the Council shall represent the various 
        geographic regions of the United States and shall reflect the 
        racial, ethnic, and gender composition of the population of the 
        United States.
            (3) Terms of members.--Individuals appointed to the Council 
        shall serve for a term of 5 years, except that the terms of 4 
        of the individuals initially appointed shall be, as designated 
        by the President at the time of their appointment, for 1, 2, 3, 
        and 4 years.
    (d) Vacancies.--
            (1) In general.--The President shall fill any vacancy in 
        the membership of the Council in the same manner as the

        vacancy shall serve for the remainder of the term for which the 
        predecessor of the member was appointed.
            (3) Reappointment.--The President may reappoint a member of 
        the Council for a second term in the same manner as the 
        original appointment. A member who has served for 2 consecutive 
        5-year terms shall not be eligible for reappointment until 2 
        years after the member has ceased to serve.
    (e) Chair.--The President shall designate 1 of the members of the 
Council to serve at the will of the President as Chair of the Council.

patterns of practice of health care professionals and for identifying 
outliers (as defined in subsection (e)).
    (b) Centers of Excellence.--The Council shall develop guidelines 
for certain medical procedures designated by the Board to be performed 
only at tertiary care centers which can meet standards for frequency of 
procedure performance and intensity of support mechanisms that are 
consistent with the high probability of desired patient outcome. 
Reimbursement under this Act for such a designated procedure may only 
be provided if the procedure was performed at a center that meets such 
standards.
    (c) Remedial Actions.--The Council shall develop standards for 
education and sanctions with respect to outliers so as to ensure the 
quality of health care services provided under this Act. The Council 
shall develop criteria for referral of providers to the State licensing 
board if education proves ineffective in correcting provider practice 
behavior.
    (d) Dissemination.--The Council shall disseminate to the State--
            (1) the methodologies adopted under subsection (a);
            (2) the guidelines developed under subsection (b); and
            (3) the standards developed under subsection (c);
for use by the States under section 503.
    (e) Outlier Defined.--In this title, the term ``outlier'' means a 
health care provider whose pattern of practice, relative to applicable 
practice guidelines, suggests deficiencies in the quality of health 
care services being provided.

SEC. 503. STATE QUALITY REVIEW PROGRAMS.

    (a) Requirement.--In order to meet the requirement of section 
404(b)(1)(H), each State health security program shall establish 1 or 
more qualified entities to conduct quality reviews of persons providing 
covered services under the program, in accordance with standards 
established under subsection (b)(1) (except as provided in subsection 
(b)(2)) and subsection (d).
    (b) Federal Standards.--
            (1) In general.--The Council shall establish standards with 
        respect to--
                    (A) the adoption of practice guidelines (whether 
                developed by the Federal Government or other entities);
                    (B) the identification of outliers (consistent with 
                methodologies adopted under section 502(a));
                    (C) the development of remedial programs and 
                monitoring for outliers; and
                    (D) the application of sanctions (consistent with 
                the standards developed under section 502(c)).
            (2) State discretion.--A State may apply under subsection 
        (a) standards other than those established under paragraph (1) 
        so long as the State demonstrates to the satisfaction of the 
        Council on an annual basis that the standards applied have been 
        as efficacious in promoting and achieving improved quality of 
        care as the application of the standards established under 
        paragraph (1). Positive improvements in quality shall be 
        documented by reductions in the variations of clinical care 
        process and improvement in patient outcomes.
    (c) Qualifications.--An entity is not qualified to conduct quality 
reviews under subsection (a) unless the entity satisfies the criteria 
for competence for such entities developed by the Council under section 
501(b)(3).
    (d) Internal Quality Review.--Nothing in this section shall 
preclude an institutional provider from establishing its own internal 
quality review and enhancement programs.

SEC. 504. ELIMINATION OF UTILIZATION REVIEW PROGRAMS; TRANSITION.

    (a) Intent.--It is the intention of this title to replace by 
January 1, 2017, random utilization controls with a systematic review 
of patterns of practice that compromise the quality of care.
    (b) Superseding Case Reviews.--
            (1) In general.--Subject to the succeeding provisions of 
        this subsection, the program of quality review provided under 
        the previous sections of this title supersede all existing 
        Federal requirements for utilization review programs, including 
        requirements for random case-by-case reviews and programs 
        requiring pre-certification of medical procedures on a case-by-
        case basis.
            (2) Transition.--Before January 1, 2017, the Board and the 
        States may employ existing utilization review standards and 
        mechanisms as may be necessary to effect the transition to 
        pattern of practice-based reviews.
            (3) Construction.--Nothing in this subsection shall be 
        construed--
                    (A) as precluding the case-by-case review of the 
                provision of care--
                            (i) in individual incidents where the 
                        quality of care has significantly deviated from 
                        acceptable standards of practice; and
                            (ii) with respect to a provider who has 
                        been determined to be an outlier; or
                    (B) as precluding the case management of 
                catastrophic, mental health, or substance abuse cases 
                or long-term care where such management is necessary to 
                achieve appropriate, cost-effective, and beneficial 
                comprehensive medical care, as provided for in section 
                204.

        improve patient care, improve population health, and lower 
        costs in a manner consistent with the requirements of such 
        Program.
            ``(2) Any references in this section to the `Secretary' or

        section 801 of the American Health Security Act of 2013, of 
        such sums as the Board determines necessary, to the Center.''.

                    (B) allocates those expenditures among the States 
                consistent with section 604.
        Pursuant to subsection (b), such budget for a year shall not 
        exceed the budget for the preceding year increased by the 
        percentage increase in gross domestic product.
            (2) Division of budget into components.--In addition to the 
        cost of covered health services, the national health security 
        budget shall consist of at least 4 components:
                    (A) A component for quality assessment activities 
                (described in title V).
                    (B) A component for health professional education 
                expenditures.
                    (C) A component for administrative costs.
                    (D) A component for operating and other 
                expenditures not described in subparagraphs (A) through 
                (C) (in this title referred to as the ``operating 
                component''), consisting of amounts not included in the 
                other components. A State may provide for the 
                allocation of this component between capital 
                expenditures and other expenditures.
            (3) Allocation among components.--Taking into account the 
        State health security budgets established and submitted under 
        section 603, the Board shall allocate the national health 
        security budget among the components in a manner that--
                    (A) assures a fair allocation for quality 
                assessment activities (consistent with the national 
                health security spending growth limit); and
                    (B) assures that the health professional education 
                expenditure component is sufficient to provide for the 
                amount of health professional education expenditures 
                sufficient to meet the need for covered health care 
                services (consistent with the national health security 
                spending growth limit under subsection (b)(2)).
    (b) Basis for Total Expenditures.--
            (1) In general.--The total expenditures specified in such 
        budget shall be the sum of the capitation amounts computed 
        under section 602(a) and the amount of Federal administrative 
        expenditures needed to carry out this Act.
            (2) National health security spending growth limit.--For 
        purposes of this subtitle, the national health security 
        spending growth limit described in this paragraph for a year is 
        (A) zero, or, if greater, (B) the average annual percentage 
        increase in the gross domestic product (in current dollars) 
        during the 3-year period beginning with the first quarter of 
        the fourth previous year to the first quarter of the previous 
        year minus the percentage increase (if any) in the number of 
        eligible individuals residing in any State the United States 
        from the first quarter of the second previous year to the first 
        quarter of the previous year.
    (c) Definitions.--In this title:
            (1) Capital expenditures.--The term ``capital 
        expenditures'' means expenses for the purchase, lease, 
        construction, or renovation of capital facilities and for 
        equipment and includes return on equity capital.
            (2) Health professional education expenditures.--The term 
        ``health professional education expenditures'' means 
        expenditures in hospitals and other health care facilities to 
        cover costs associated with teaching and related research 
        activities.

SEC. 602. COMPUTATION OF INDIVIDUAL AND STATE CAPITATION AMOUNTS.

    (a) Capitation Amounts.--
            (1) Individual capitation amounts.--In establishing the 
        national health security budget under section 601(a) and in 
        computing the national average per capita cost under subsection 
        (b) for each year, the Board shall establish a method for 
        computing the capitation amount for each eligible individual 
        residing in each State. The capitation amount for an eligible 
        individual in a State classified within a risk group 
        (established under subsection (d)(2)) is the product of--
                    (A) a national average per capita cost for all 
                covered health care services (computed under subsection 
                (b));
                    (B) the State adjustment factor (established under 
                subsection (c)) for the State; and
                    (C) the risk adjustment factor (established under 
                subsection (d)) for the risk group.
            (2) State capitation amount.--
                    (A) In general.--For purposes of this title, the 
                term ``State capitation amount'' means, for a State for 
                a year, the sum of the capitation amounts computed 
                under paragraph (1) for all the residents of the State 
                in the year, as estimated by the Board before the 
                beginning of the year involved.
                    (B) Use of statistical model.--The Board may 
                provide for the computation of State capitation amounts 
                based on statistical models that fairly reflect the 
                elements that comprise the State capitation amount 
                described in subparagraph (A).
                    (C) Population information.--The Bureau of the 
                Census shall assist the Board in determining the 
                number, place of residence, and risk group 
                classification of eligible individuals.
    (b) Computation of National Average Per Capita Cost.--
            (1) For 2014.--For 2014, the national average per capita 
        cost under this paragraph is equal to--
                    (A) the average per capita health care expenditures 
                in the United States in 2012 (as estimated by the 
                Board);
                    (B) increased to 2013 by the Board's estimate of 
                the actual amount of such per capita expenditures 
                during 2013; and
                    (C) updated to 2014 by the national health security 
                spending growth limit specified in section 601(b)(2) 
                for 2014.
            (2) For succeeding years.--For each succeeding year, the 
        national average per capita cost under this subsection is equal 
        to the national average per capita cost computed under this 
        subsection for the previous year adjusted by the national 
        health security spending growth limit (specified in section 
        601(b)(2)) for the year involved.
    (c) State Adjustment Factors.--
            (1) In general.--Subject to the succeeding paragraphs of 
        this subsection, the Board shall develop for each State a 
        factor to adjust the national average per capita costs to 
        reflect differences between the State and the United States 
        in--
                    (A) average labor and nonlabor costs that are 
                necessary to provide covered health services;
                    (B) any social, environmental, or geographic 
                condition affecting health status or the need for 
                health care services, to the extent such a condition is 
                not taken into account in the establishment of risk 
                groups under subsection (d);
                    (C) the geographic distribution of the State's 
                population, particularly the proportion of the 
                population residing in medically underserved areas, to 
                the extent such a condition is not taken into account 
                in the establishment of risk groups under subsection 
                (d); and
                    (D) any other factor relating to operating costs 
                required to ensure equitable distribution of funds 
                among the States.
            (2) Modification of health professional education 
        component.--With respect to the portion of the national health 
        security budget allocated to expenditures for health 
        professional education, the Board shall modify the State 
        adjustment factors so as to take into account--
                    (A) differences among States in health professional 
                education programs in operation as of the date of the 
                enactment of this Act; and
                    (B) differences among States in their relative need 
                for expenditures for health professional education, 
                taking into account the health professional education 
                expenditures proposed in State health security budgets 
                under section 603(a).
            (3) Budget neutrality.--The State adjustment factors, as 
        modified under paragraph (2), shall be applied under this 
        subsection in a manner that results in neither an increase nor 
        a decrease in the total amount of the Federal contributions to 
        all State health security programs under subsection (b) as a 
        result of the application of such factors.
            (4) Phase-in.--In applying State adjustment factors under 
        this subsection during the 5-year period beginning with 2014, 
        the Board shall phase-in, over such period, the use of factors 
        described in paragraph (1) in a manner so that the adjustment 
        factor for a State is based on a blend of such factors and a 
        factor that reflects the relative actual average per capita 
        costs of health services of the different States as of the time 
        of enactment of this Act.
            (5) Periodic adjustment.--In establishing the national 
        health security budget before the beginning of each year, the 
        Board shall provide for appropriate adjustments in the State 
        adjustment factors under this subsection.
    (d) Adjustments for Risk Group Classification.--
            (1) In general.--The Board shall develop an adjustment 
        factor to the national average per capita costs computed under 
        subsection (b) for individuals classified in each risk group 
        (as designated under paragraph (2)) to reflect the difference 
        between the average national average per capita costs and the 
        national average per capita cost for individuals classified in 
        the risk group.
            (2) Risk groups.--The Board shall designate a series of 
        risk groups, determined by age, health indicators, and other 
        factors that represent distinct patterns of health care 
        services utilization and costs.
            (3) Periodic adjustment.--In establishing the national 
        health security budget before the beginning of each year, the 
        Board shall provide for appropriate adjustments in the risk 
        adjustment factors under this subsection.

SEC. 603. STATE HEALTH SECURITY BUDGETS.

    (a) Establishment and Submission of Budgets.--
            (1) In general.--Each State health security program shall 
        establish and submit to the Board for each year a proposed and 
        a final State health security budget, which specifies the 
        following:
                    (A) The total expenditures (including expenditures 
                for administrative costs) to be made under the program 
                in the State for covered health care services under 
                this Act, consistent with subsection (b), broken down 
                as follows:
                            (i) By the 4 components (described in 
                        section 601(a)(2)), consistent with subsection 
                        (b).
                            (ii) Within the operating component--
                                    (I) expenditures for operating 
                                costs of hospitals and other facility-
                                based services in the State;
                                    (II) expenditures for payment to 
                                comprehensive health service 
                                organizations;
                                    (III) expenditures for payment of 
                                services provided by health care 
                                practitioners; and
                                    (IV) expenditures for other covered 
                                items and services.
                        Funds under this Act that are appropriated for 
                        operations shall not be used for capital 
                        expenditures, and funds under this Act that are 
                        appropriated for capital expenditures shall not

                    (A) be established and submitted under paragraph 
                (1) not later than October 1 before the year, and
                    (B) take into account the amounts established under 
                the national health security budget under section 601 
                for the year.
            (4) Adjustment in allocations permitted.--
                    (A) In general.--Subject to subparagraphs (B) and 
                (C), in the case of a final budget, a State may change 
                the allocation of amounts among components.
                    (B) Notice.--No such change may be made unless the 
                State has provided prior notice of the change to the 
                Board.
                    (C) Denial.--Such a change may not be made if the 
                Board, within such time period as the Board specifies, 
                disapproves such change.
    (b) Expenditure Limits.--
            (1) In general.--The total expenditures specified in each 
        State health security budget under subsection (a)(1) shall take 
        into account Federal contributions made under section 604.
            (2) Limit on claims processing and billing expenditures.--
        Each State health security budget shall provide that State 
        administrative expenditures, including expenditures for claims 
        processing and billing, shall not exceed 3 percent of the total 
        expenditures under the State health security program, unless 
        the Board determines, on a case-by-case basis, that additional 
        administrative expenditures would improve health care quality 
        and cost effectiveness.
            (3) Worker assistance.--A State health security program may 
        provide that, for budgets for years before 2017, up to 1 
        percent of the budget may be used for purposes of programs 
        providing assistance to workers who are currently performing 
        functions in the administration of the health insurance system 
        and who may experience economic dislocation as a result of the 
        implementation of the program.
    (c) Approval Process for Capital Expenditures Permitted.--Nothing 
in this title shall be construed as preventing a State health security 
program from providing for a process for the approval of capital 
expenditures based on information derived from regional planning 
agencies.

SEC. 604. FEDERAL PAYMENTS TO STATES.

    (a) In General.--Each State with an approved State health security 
program is entitled to receive, from amounts in the American Health 
Security Trust Fund, on a monthly basis each year, of an amount equal 
to one-twelfth of the product of--
            (1) the State capitation amount (computed under section 
        602(a)(2)) for the State for the year; and
            (2) the Federal contribution percentage (established under 
        subsection (b)).
    (b) Federal Contribution Percentage.--The Board shall establish a 
formula for the establishment of a Federal contribution percentage for 
each State. Such formula shall take into consideration a State's per 
capita income and revenue capacity and such other relevant economic 
indicators as the Board determines to be appropriate. In addition, 
during the 5-year period beginning with 2012, the Board may provide for 
a transition adjustment to the formula in order to take into account 
current expenditures by the State (and local governments thereof) for 
health services covered under the State health security program. The 
weighted-average Federal contribution percentage for all States shall 
equal 86 percent and in no event shall such percentage be less than 81 
percent nor more than 91 percent.
    (c) Use of Payments.--All payments made under this section may only 
be used to carry out the State health security program.
    (d) Effect of Spending Excess or Surplus.--
            (1) Spending excess.--If a State exceeds its budget in a 
        given year, the State shall continue to fund covered health 
        services from its own revenues.
            (2) Surplus.--If a State provides all covered health 
        services for less than the budgeted amount for a year, it may 
        retain its Federal payment for that year for uses consistent 
        with this Act.

SEC. 605. ACCOUNT FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION EXPENDITURES.

    (a) Separate Account.--Each State health security program shall--
            (1) include a separate account for health professional 
        education expenditures; and
            (2) specify the general manner, consistent with subsection 
        (b), in which such expenditures are to be distributed among 
        different types of institutions and the different areas of the 
        State.
    (b) Distribution Rules.--The distribution of funds to hospitals and 
other health care facilities from the account shall conform to the 
following principles:
            (1) The disbursement of funds shall be consistent with 
        achievement of the national and program goals (specified in 
        section 701(b)) within the State health security program and 
        the distribution of funds from the account shall be conditioned 
        upon the receipt of such reports as the Board may require in 
        order to monitor compliance with such goals.
            (2) The distribution of funds from the account shall take 
        into account the potentially higher costs of placing health 
        professional students in clinical education programs in health 
        professional shortage areas.

              Subtitle B--Payments by States to Providers

SEC. 611. PAYMENTS TO HOSPITALS AND OTHER FACILITY-BASED SERVICES FOR 
              OPERATING EXPENSES ON THE BASIS OF APPROVED GLOBAL 
              BUDGETS.

    (a) Direct Payment Under Global Budget.--Payment for operating 
expenses for institutional and facility-based care, including hospital 
services and nursing facility services, under State health security 
programs shall be made directly to each institution or facility by each 
State health security program under an annual prospective global budget 
approved under the program. Such a budget shall include payment for 
outpatient care and non-facility-based care that is furnished by or 
through the facility. In the case of a hospital that is wholly owned 
(or controlled) by a comprehensive health service organization that is 
paid under section 614 on the basis of a global budget, the global 
budget of the organization shall include the budget for the hospital.
    (b) Annual Negotiations; Budget Approval.--
            (1) In general.--The prospective global budget for an 
        institution or facility shall--
                    (A) be developed through annual negotiations 
                between--
                            (i) a panel of individuals who are 
                        appointed by the Governor of the State and who 
                        represent consumers, labor, business, and the 
                        State government; and
                            (ii) the institution or facility; and
                    (B) be based on a nationally uniform system of cost 
                accounting established under standards of the Board.
            (2) Considerations.--In developing a budget through 
        negotiations, there shall be taken into account at least the 
        following:
                    (A) With respect to inpatient hospital services, 
                the number, and classification by diagnosis-related 
                group, of discharges.
                    (B) An institution's or facility's past 
                expenditures.
                    (C) The extent to which debt service for capital 
                expenditures has been included in the proposed 
                operating budget.
                    (D) The extent to which capital expenditures are

                dually diagnosed individuals.
        The portion of such a budget that relates to expenditures for 
        health professional education shall be consistent with the 
        State health security budget for such expenditures.
            (3) Provision of required information; diagnosis-related 
        group.--No budget for an institution or facility for a year may

permit institutions and facilities to raise funds from private sources 
to pay for newly constructed facilities, major renovations, and 
equipment. The expenditure of such funds, whether for operating or 
capital expenditures, does not obligate the State health security 
program to provide for continued support for such expenditures unless 
included in an approved global budget.

SEC. 612. PAYMENTS TO HEALTH CARE PRACTITIONERS BASED ON PROSPECTIVE 
              FEE SCHEDULE.

    (a) Fee for Service.--
            (1) In general.--Every independent health care practitioner 
        is entitled to be paid, for the provision of covered health 
        services under the State health security program, a fee for 
        each billable covered service.
            (2) Global fee payment methodologies.--The Board shall 
        establish models and encourage State health security programs 
        to implement alternative payment methodologies that incorporate 
        global fees for related services (such as all outpatient 
        procedures for treatment of a condition) or for a basic group 
        of services (such as primary care services) furnished to an 
        individual over a period of time, in order to encourage 
        continuity and efficiency in the provision of services. Such 
        methodologies shall be designed to ensure a high quality of 
        care.
            (3) Billing deadlines; electronic billing.--A State health 
        security program may deny payment for any service of an 
        independent health care practitioner for which it did not 
        receive a bill and appropriate supporting documentation (which 
        had been previously specified) within 30 days after the date 
        the service was provided. Such a program may require that bills 
        for services for which payment may be made under this section, 
        or for any class of such services, be submitted electronically.
    (b) Payment Rates Based on Negotiated Prospective Fee Schedules.--
With respect to any payment method for a class of services of 
practitioners, the State health security program shall establish, on a 
prospective basis, a payment schedule. The State health security 
program may establish such a schedule after negotiations with 
organizations representing the practitioners involved. Such fee 
schedules shall be designed to provide incentives for practitioners to 
choose primary care medicine, including general internal medicine, 
family medicine, gynecology, and pediatrics, over medical 
specialization. Nothing in this section shall be construed as 
preventing a State from adjusting the payment schedule amounts on a 
quarterly or other periodic basis depending on whether expenditures 
under the schedule will exceed the budgeted amount with respect to such 
expenditures.
    (c) Billable Covered Service Defined.--In this section, the term 
``billable covered service'' means a service covered under section 201 
for which a practitioner is entitled to compensation by payment of a 
fee determined under this section.

            (2) Adjustment for special health needs.--The State health 
        security program shall adjust such average amounts to take into 
        account the special health needs, including a disproportionate 
        number of medically underserved individuals, of populations 
        served by the organization.
            (3) Adjustment for services not provided.--The State health 
        security program shall adjust such average amounts to take into

    (b) Payment Adjustment.--Payments under subsection (a) may include, 
consistent with the budgets developed under this title--
            (1) an additional amount, as set by the State health 
        security program, to cover the costs incurred by a provider 
        which serves persons not covered by this Act whose health care 
        is essential to overall community health and the control of 
        communicable disease, and for whom the cost of such care is 
        otherwise uncompensated;
            (2) an additional amount, as set by the State health 
        security program, to cover the reasonable costs incurred by a

        the State health security program for such an enrollee, based 
        on actuarial characteristics (as defined by the State health 
        security program).
            (2) Adjustment for special health needs.--The State health 
        security program shall adjust such average amounts to take into 
        account the special health needs, including a disproportionate 
        number of medically underserved individuals, of populations 
        served by the provider.
            (3) Adjustment for services not provided.--The State health 
        security program shall adjust such average amounts to take into

section, the term ``community-based primary health services'' has the 
meaning given such term in section 202(a).

behalf of State health security programs, with product manufacturers 
and distributors in determining the applicable product price or prices.
    (c) Charges by Independent Pharmacies.--Each State health security 
program shall provide for payment for a prescription drug or biological 
or insulin furnished by an independent pharmacy based on the drug's 
cost to the pharmacy (not in excess of the applicable product price 
established under subsection (b)) plus a dispensing fee. In accordance 
with standards established by the Board, each State health security 
program, after consultation with representatives of the pharmaceutical 
profession, shall establish schedules of dispensing fees, designed to 
afford reasonable compensation to independent pharmacies after taking 
into account variations in their cost of operation resulting from 
regional differences, differences in the volume of prescription drugs 
dispensed, differences in services provided, the need to maintain 
expenditures within the budgets established under this title, and other 
relevant factors.

SEC. 616. PAYMENTS FOR APPROVED DEVICES AND EQUIPMENT.

404(a), may use a payment methodology other than a methodology required 
under this subtitle so long as--
            (1) such payment methodology does not affect the 
        entitlement of individuals to coverage, the weighting of fee 
        schedules to encourage an increase in the number of primary 
        care providers, the ability of individuals to choose among 
        qualified providers, the benefits covered under the program, or 
        the compliance of the program with the State health security 
        budget under subtitle A; and
            (2) the program submits periodic reports to the Board
