                          Purpose and Summary

    H.R. 4998 was introduced on February 13, 2018, by Rep. 
Karen Bass (D-CA). The bill requires states to ensure that 
former foster youth are able to keep their Medicaid coverage 
across state lines until the age of 26. H.R. 4998 requires 
states to adopt this policy in calendar year 2023 for 
individuals attaining the age of 18 that year, although a state 
may adopt the policy sooner at the state's option.

                  Background and Need for Legislation

    Deaths due to overdoses of opioids and other drugs have 
ravaged American communities. According to the Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), on average, 1,000 people 
are treated for opioid misuse in emergency departments per day, 
an average of 115 Americans die per day, and opioid-related 
overdoses have increased steadily since 1999.\1\

Death Data.'' December 19, 2017. Available at https://www.cdc.gov/
drugoverdose/data/statedeaths.html.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    While the impacts to Americans' health outcomes are 
staggering, the opioid crisis has negatively impacted society 
in numerous ways. The Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention note that life expectancy dropped in 2015 and 2106 
and that one of the reasons was an increase in unintentional 
injuries, a category that includes drug overdoses.\2\ The 
opioid crisis has also resulted in a contraction in the labor 
force by almost 1 million workers in the years between 1999 and 
2015, which resulted in a loss of $702 billion in real 
output.\3\ In 2015, the total economic burden of the opioid 
epidemic was estimated to be $504 billion.\4\ While all states 
were negatively impacted, there is geographic variation in the 
burden. West Virginia had the greatest loss per person ($4,378) 
and Nebraska had the lowest loss per person ($394).\4\ One 
recent analysis found that the annual cost for private sector 
employers for treating opioid addiction and overdoses has 
increased more than eight-fold since 2004, and more than one in 
five persons aged 55 to 64 had at least one opioid prescription 
in 2016.\5\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Medicaid is the largest source of federal funding for 
behavioral health services--mental health and substance use 
disorder services--with nearly $71 billion in projected 2017 
spending.\6\ As the Medicaid and CHIP Payment and Access 
Commission (MACPAC) stated in 2017, ``the opioid epidemic, 
which has reached most communities across the U.S., 
disproportionately affects Medicaid beneficiaries.''\7\ Of the 
two million non-elderly Americans with opioid addiction, 
Medicaid provides health coverage for an estimated 38 percent 
of this population, which is the largest percentage of any 
insurer type.\8\ Medicaid provides care to 4 in 10 adults with 
opioid use disorder and compared to other insurance types, 
provides a significantly higher percentage of inpatient and 
outpatient substance use disorder treatment.\9\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    MACPAC found that ``Medicaid beneficiaries are prescribed 
pain relievers at higher rates than those with other sources of 
insurance. They also have a higher risk of overdose and other 
negative outcomes, from both prescription opioids and illegal 
opioids such as heroin and illicitly manufactured 
fentanyl.''\10\ Not only are the number of Medicaid 
beneficiaries with opioid misuse disproportionately high, so 
too are the number of overdoses. Studies from North Carolina 
and Washington indicate high rates of opioid-related deaths for 
the Medicaid population (33 percent and 45 percent, 
respectively).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    For treatment, Medicaid has several pharmacy and medical 
benefits for treating opioid use disorder that vary by state. A 
primary pharmaceutical treatment offered to patients with 
opioid abuse and/or substance use disorder is medication-
assisted treatment (MAT). The Substance Abuse and Mental Health 
Services Administration (SAMHSA) describes MAT as ``the use of 
FDA-approved medications, in combination with counseling and 
behavioral therapies, to provide a ``whole-patient'' approach 
to the treatment of substance use disorders.''\11\

medication-assisted-treatment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Non-pharmaceutical treatment of opioid use disorder in 
Medicaid occurs in inpatient, outpatient, residential, and 
community-based settings. MACPAC's 2017 analysis found that 
``Medicaid is responding to the opioid crisis by covering 
treatment, innovating in the delivery of care, and working with 
other state agencies to reduce misuse of prescription 
opioids.''\12\ State Medicaid programs adopt strategies and 
design their programs to meet the needs of their Medicaid 
beneficiaries resulting in variations in covered treatment 
services and settings. It is important state Medicaid programs 
provide a continuum of care to serve the needs of Medicaid 
beneficiaries.

uploads/2017/06/Medicaid-and-the-Opioid-Epidemic.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    However, as MACPAC noted, ``there are gaps in the continuum 
of care, and states vary in the extent to which they cover 
needed treatment.''\13\ One of the barriers to appropriate 
treatment consistently identified by Medicaid directors and 
health policy experts is a statutory prohibition on federal 
Medicaid matching funds for paying for care for certain 
Medicaid beneficiaries in Institutions for Mental Diseases 
(IMD). As MACPAC has explained, ``the Medicaid IMD exclusion 
acts a barrier for individuals with an opioid use disorder to 
receive residential treatment, which, depending on an 
individual's treatment plan, may be the most appropriate 
setting for care.''\14\ Given these and other findings, there 
continues to be an opportunity for Congress and state Medicaid 
programs to work to improve access to timely, high-quality 
treatment across the continuum of care.

                            Committee Action

    On April 11 and 12, 2018, the Subcommittee on Health held a 
hearing on H.R. 4998. The Subcommittee received testimony from:
           Kimberly Brandt, Principal Deputy 
        Administrator for Operations, Centers for Medicare and 
        Medicaid Services, U.S. Department of Health and Human 
        Services;
           Michael Botticelli, Executive Director, 
        Grayken Center for Addiction, Boston Medical Center;
           Toby Douglas, Senior Vice President, 
        Medicaid Solutions, Centene Corporation;
           David Guth, Chief Executive Officer, 
        Centerstone;
           John Kravitz, Chief Information Officer, 
        Geisinger Health System; and,
           Sam Srivastava, Chief Executive Officer, 
        Magellan Health.
    On May 17, 2018, the full Committee on Energy and Commerce 
met in open markup session and ordered H.R. 4998, as amended, 
favorably reported to the House by a voice vote.

                            Committee Votes

    Clause 3(b) of rule XIII requires the Committee to list the 
record votes on the motion to report legislation and amendments 
thereto. There were no record votes taken in connection with 
ordering H.R. 4998 reported.

                 Oversight Findings and Recommendations

    Pursuant to clause 2(b)(1) of rule X and clause 3(c)(1) of 
rule XIII, the Committee held a hearing and made findings that 
are reflected in this report.

   New Budget Authority, Entitlement Authority, and Tax Expenditures

    Pursuant to clause 3(c)(2) of rule XIII, the Committee 
finds that H.R. 4998 would result in no new or increased budget 
authority, entitlement authority, or tax expenditures or 
revenues.

                  Congressional Budget Office Estimate

    Pursuant to clause 3(c)(3) of rule XIII, the following is 
the cost estimate provided by the Congressional Budget Office 
pursuant to section 402 of the Congressional Budget Act of 
1974:

                                     U.S. Congress,
                               Congressional Budget Office,
                                      Washington, DC, June 6, 2018.
Hon. Greg Walden,
Chairman, Committee on Energy and Commerce,
House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has 
prepared the enclosed document with cost estimates for the 
opioid-related legislation ordered to be reported on May 9 and 
May 17, 2018.
    If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be 
pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contacts are Tom Bradley 
and Chad Chirico.
            Sincerely,
                                             Mark P. Hadley
                                        (For Keith Hall, Director).
    Enclosure.

Opioid Legislation

    Summary: On May 9 and May 17, 2018, the House Committee on 
Energy and Commerce ordered 59 bills to be reported related to 
the nation's response to the opioid epidemic. Generally, the 
bills would:
           Provide grants to facilities and providers 
        that treat people with substance use disorders,
           Direct various agencies within the 
        Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to 
        explore nonopioid approaches to treating pain and to 
        educate providers about those alternatives,
           Modify requirements under Medicaid and 
        Medicare for prescribing controlled substances,
           Expand Medicaid coverage for substance abuse 
        treatment, and
           Direct the Food and Drug Administration 
        (FDA) to modify its oversight of opioid drugs and other 
        medications that are used to manage pain.
    Because of the large number of related bills ordered 
reported by the Committee, CBO is publishing a single 
comprehensive document that includes estimates for each piece 
of legislation.
    CBO estimates that enacting 20 of the bills would affect 
direct spending, and 2 of the bills would affect revenues; 
therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply for those bills.
    CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 4998, the Health Insurance 
for Former Foster Youth Act, would increase net direct spending 
by more than $2.5 billion and on-budget deficits by more than 
$5 billion in at least one of the four consecutive 10-year 
periods beginning in 2029. None of the remaining 58 bills 
included in this estimate would increase net direct spending by 
more than $2.5 billion or on-budget deficits by more than $5 
billion in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods 
beginning in 2029.
    One of the bills reviewed for this document, H.R. 5795, 
would impose both intergovernmental and private-sector mandates 
as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA). CBO 
estimates that the costs of those mandates on public and 
private entities would fall below the thresholds in UMRA ($80 
million and $160 million, respectively, in 2018, adjusted 
annually for inflation). Five bills, H.R. 5228, H.R. 5333, H.R. 
5554, H.R. 5687, and H.R. 5811, would impose private-sector 
mandates as defined in UMRA. CBO estimates that the costs of 
the mandates in three of the bills (H.R. 5333, H.R. 5554, and 
H.R. 5811) would not exceed the UMRA threshold for private 
entities. Because CBO is uncertain how federal agencies would 
implement new authority granted in the other two bills, H.R. 
5228 and H.R. 5687, CBO cannot determine whether the costs of 
those mandates would exceed the UMRA threshold.
    Estimated cost to the Federal Government: The estimates in 
this document do not include the effects of interactions among 
the bills. If all 59 bills were combined and enacted as one 
piece of legislation, the budgetary effects would be different 
from the sum of the estimates in this document, although CBO 
expects that any such differences would be small. The costs of 
this legislation fall within budget functions 550 (health), 570 
(Medicare), 750 (administration of justice), and (800 general 
government).
    Basis of estimate: For this estimate, CBO assumes that all 
of the legislation will be enacted late in 2018 and that 
authorized and estimated amounts will be appropriated each 
year. Outlays for discretionary programs are estimated based on 
historical spending patterns for similar programs.

Uncertainty

    CBO aims to produce estimates that generally reflect the 
middle of a range of the most likely budgetary outcomes that 
would result if the legislation was enacted. Because data on 
the utilization of mental health and substance abuse treatment 
under Medicaid and Medicare is scarce, CBO cannot precisely 
predict how patients or providers would respond to some policy 
changes or what budgetary effects would result. In addition, 
several of the bills would give the Department of Health and 
Human Services (HHS) considerable latitude in designing and 
implementing policies. Budgetary effects could differ from 
those provided in CBO's analyses depending on those decisions.

Direct spending and revenues

    Table 1 lists the 22 bills of the 59 ordered to be reported 
that would affect direct spending or revenues.

aThis bill also would affect spending subject to appropriation.
bOne additional bill, H.R. 5228, the Stop Counterfeit Drugs by Regulating and Enhancing Enforcement Now Act, would have a negligible effect on revenues.

    Legislation Primarily Affecting Medicaid. The following 
nine bills would affect direct spending for the Medicaid 
program.
    H.R. 1925, the At-Risk Youth Medicaid Protection Act of 
2017, would require states to suspend, rather than terminate, 
Medicaid eligibility for juvenile enrollees (generally under 21 
years of age) who become inmates of public correctional 
institutions. States also would have to redetermine those 
enrollees' Medicaid eligibility before their release and 
restore their coverage upon release if they qualify for the 
program. States would be required to process Medicaid 
applications submitted by or on behalf of juveniles in public 
correctional institutions who were not enrolled in Medicaid 
before becoming inmates and ensure that Medicaid coverage is 
provided when they are released if they are found to be 
eligible. On the basis of an analysis of juvenile incarceration 
trends and of the per enrollee spending for Medicaid foster 
care children, who have a similar health profile to 
incarcerated juveniles, CBO estimates that implementing the 
bill would cost $75 million over the 2019-2028 period.
    H.R. 4998, the Health Insurance for Former Foster Youth 
Act, would require states to provide Medicaid coverage to 
adults up to age 25 who had aged out of foster care in any 
state. Under current law, such coverage is mandatory only if 
the former foster care youth has aged out in the state in which 
the individual applies for coverage. The policy also would 
apply to former foster children who had been in foster care 
upon turning 14 years of age but subsequently left foster care 
to enter into a legal guardianship with a kinship caregiver. 
The provisions would take effect respect for foster youth who 
turn 18 on or after January 1, 2023. On the basis of spending 
for Medicaid foster care children and data from the Census 
Bureau regarding annual migration rates between states, CBO 
estimates that implementing the bill would cost $171 million 
over the 2019-2028 period.
    H.R. 5477, the Rural Development of Opioid Capacity 
Services Act, would direct the Secretary of HHS to conduct a 
five-year demonstration to increase the number and ability of 
providers participating in Medicaid to provide treatment for 
substance use disorders. On the basis of an analysis of federal 
and state spending for treatment of substance use disorders and 
the prevalence of such disorders, CBO estimates that enacting 
the bill would increase direct spending by $301 million over 
the 2019-2028 period.
    H.R. 5583, a bill to amend title XI of the Social Security 
Act to require States to annually report on certain adult 
health quality measures, and for other purposes, would require 
states to include behavioral health indicators in their annual 
reports on the quality of care under Medicaid. Although the 
bill would add a requirement for states, CBO estimates that its 
enactment would not have a significant budgetary effect because 
most states have systems in place for reporting such measures 
to the federal government.
    H.R. 5797, the IMD CARE Act, would expand Medicaid coverage 
for people with opioid use disorder who are in institutions for 
mental disease (IMDs) for up to 30 days per year. Under a 
current-law policy known as the IMD exclusion, the federal 
government generally does not make matching payments to state 
Medicaid programs for most services provided by IMDs to adults 
between the ages of 21 and 64. Recent administrative changes 
have made federal financing for IMDs available in limited 
circumstances, but the statutory prohibition remains in place. 
CBO analyzed several data sets, primarily those collected by 
the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 
(SAMHSA), to estimate current federal spending under Medicaid 
for IMD services and to estimate spending under H.R. 5797. 
Using that analysis, CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 5797 
would increase direct spending by $991 million over the 2019-
2028 period.
    H.R. 5799, the Medicaid DRUG Improvement Act, would require 
state Medicaid programs to implement additional reviews of 
opioid prescriptions, monitor concurrent prescribing of opioids 
and certain other drugs, and monitor use of antipsychotic drugs 
by children. CBO estimates that the bill would increase direct 
spending by $5 million over 2019-2028 period to cover the 
administrative costs of complying with those requirements. On 
the basis of stakeholder feedback, CBO expects that the bill 
would not have a significant effect on Medicaid spending for 
prescription drugs because many of the bill's requirements 
would duplicate current efforts to curb opioid and 
antipsychotic drug use. (If enacted, H.R. 5799 also would 
affect spending subject to appropriation; CBO has not completed 
an estimate of that amount.)
    H.R. 5801, the Medicaid Providers Are Required To Note 
Experiences in Record Systems to Help-In-Need Patients 
(PARTNERSHIP) Act, would require providers who are permitted to 
prescribe controlled substances and who participate in Medicaid 
to query prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs) before 
prescribing controlled substances to Medicaid patients. PDMPs 
are statewide electronic databases that collect data on 
controlled substances dispensed in the state. The bill also 
would require PDMPs to comply with certain data and system 
criteria, and it would provide additional federal matching 
funds to certain states to help cover administrative costs. On 
the basis of a literature review and stakeholder feedback, CBO 
estimates that the net budgetary effect of enacting H.R. 5801 
would be insignificant. Costs for states to come into 
compliance with the systems and administrative requirements 
would be roughly offset by savings from small reductions in the 
number of controlled substances paid for by Medicaid under the 
proposal. (If enacted, H.R. 5801 also would affect spending 
subject to appropriation; CBO has not completed an estimate of 
that amount.)
    H.R. 5808, the Medicaid Pharmaceutical Home Act of 2018, 
would require state Medicaid programs to operate pharmacy 
programs that would identify people at high risk of abusing 
controlled substances and require those patients to use a 
limited number of providers and pharmacies. Although nearly all 
state Medicaid programs currently meet such a requirement, a 
small number of high-risk Medicaid beneficiaries are not now 
monitored. Based on an analysis of information about similar 
state and federal programs, CBO estimates that net Medicaid 
spending under the bill would decrease by $13 million over the 
2019-2028 period. That amount represents a small increase in 
administrative costs and a small reduction in the number of 
controlled substances paid for by Medicaid under the proposal. 
(If enacted, H.R. 5808 also would affect spending subject to 
appropriation; CBO has not completed an estimate of that 
amount.)
    H.R. 5810, the Medicaid Health HOME Act, would allow states 
to receive six months of enhanced federal Medicaid funding for 
programs that coordinate care for people with substance use 
disorders. Based on enrollment and spending data from states 
that currently participate in Medicaid's Health Homes program, 
CBO estimates that the expansion would cost approximately $469 
million over the 2019-2028 period. The bill also would require 
states to cover all FDA-approved drugs used in medication-
assisted treatment for five years, although states could seek a 
waiver from that requirement. (Medication-assisted treatment 
combines behavioral therapy and pharmaceutical treatment for 
substance use disorders.) Under current law, states already 
cover most FDA-approved drugs used in such programs in some 
capacity, although a few exclude methadone dispensed by opioid 
treatment programs. CBO estimates that a small share of those 
states would begin to cover methadone if this bill was enacted 
at a federal cost of about $39 million over the 2019-2028 
period. In sum, CBO estimates that the enacting H.R. 5810 would 
increase direct spending by $509 million over the 2019-2028 
period.
    Legislation Primarily Affecting Medicare. The following ten 
bills would affect direct spending for the Medicare program.
    H.R. 3528, the Every Prescription Conveyed Securely Act, 
would require prescriptions for controlled substances covered 
under Medicare Part D to be transmitted electronically, 
starting on January 1, 2021. Based on CBO's analysis of 
prescription drug spending, spending for controlled substances 
is a small share of total drug spending. CBO also assumes a 
small share of those prescriptions would not be filled because 
they are not converted to an electronic format. Therefore, CBO 
expects that enacting H.R. 3528 would reduce the number of 
prescriptions filled and estimates that Medicare spending would 
be reduced by $250 million over the 2019-2028 period.
    H.R. 4841, the Standardizing Electronic Prior Authorization 
for Safe Prescribing Act of 2018, would require health care 
professionals to submit prior authorization requests 
electronically, starting on January 1, 2021, for drugs covered 
under Medicare Part D. Taking into account that many 
prescribers already use electronic methods to submit such 
requests, CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 4841 would not 
significantly affect direct spending for Part D.
    H.R. 5603, the Access to Telehealth Services for Opioid Use 
Disorders Act, would permit the Secretary of HHS to lift 
current geographic and other restrictions on coverage of 
telehealth services under Medicare for treatment of substance 
use disorders or co-occurring mental health disorders. Under 
the bill, the Secretary of HHS would be directed to encourage 
other payers to coordinate payments for opioid use disorder 
treatments and to evaluate the extent to which the 
demonstration reduces hospitalizations, increases the use of 
medication-assisted treatments, and improves the health 
outcomes of individuals with opioid use disorders during and 
after the demonstration. Based on current use of Medicare 
telehealth services for treatment of substance use disorders, 
CBO estimates that expanding that coverage would increase 
direct spending by $11 million over the 2019-2028 period.
    H.R. 5605, the Advancing High Quality Treatment for Opioid 
Use Disorders in Medicare Act, would establish a five-year 
demonstration program to increase access to treatment for 
opioid use disorder. The demonstration would provide incentive 
payments and funding for care management services based on 
criteria such as patient engagement, use of evidence-based 
treatments, and treatment length and intensity. Under the bill, 
the Secretary of HHS would be directed to encourage other 
payers to coordinate payments for opioid use disorder 
treatments and to evaluate the extent to which the 
demonstration reduces hospitalizations, increases the use of 
medication-assisted treatments, and improves the health 
outcomes of individuals with opioid use disorders during and 
after the demonstration. Based on historical utilization of 
opioid use disorder treatments and projected spending on 
incentive payments and care management fees, CBO estimates that 
increased use of treatment services and the demonstration's 
incentive payments would increase direct spending by $122 
million over the 2019-2028 period.
    H.R. 5675, a bill to amend title XVIII of the Social 
Security Act to require prescription drug plan sponsors under 
the Medicare program to establish drug management programs for 
at-risk beneficiaries, would require Part D prescription drug 
plans to provide drug management programs for Medicare 
beneficiaries who are at risk for prescription drug abuse. 
(Under current law, Part D plans are permitted but not required 
to establish such programs as of 2019.) Based on an analysis of 
the number of plans currently providing those programs, CBO 
estimates that enacting H.R. 5675 would lower federal spending 
by $64 million over the 2019-2028 period by reducing the number 
of prescriptions filled and Medicare's payments for controlled 
substances.
    H.R. 5684, the Protecting Seniors From Opiod Abuse Act, 
would expand medication therapy management programs under 
Medicare Part D to include beneficiaries who are at risk for 
prescription drug abuse. Because relatively few beneficiaries 
would be affected by this bill, CBO estimates that its 
enactment would not significantly affect direct spending for 
Part D.
    H.R. 5796, the Responsible Education Achieves Care and 
Healthy Outcomes for Users' Treatment Act of 2018, would allow 
the Secretary of HHS to award grants to certain organizations 
that provide technical assistance and education to high-volume 
prescribers of opioids. The bill would appropriate $100 million 
for fiscal year 2019. Based on historical spending patterns for 
similar activities, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 5796 
would cost $100 million over the 2019-2028 period.
    H.R. 5798, the Opioid Screening and Chronic Pain Management 
Alternatives for Seniors Act, would add an assessment of 
current opioid prescriptions and screening for opioid use 
disorder to the Welcome to Medicare Initial Preventive Physical 
Examination. Based on historical use of the examinations and 
pain management alternatives, CBO expects that enacting the 
bill would increase use of pain management services and 
estimates that direct spending would increase by $5 million 
over the 2019-2028 period.
    H.R. 5804, the Post-Surgical Injections as an Opioid 
Alternative Act, would freeze the Medicare payment rate for 
certain analgesic injections provided in ambulatory surgical 
centers (ASCs). (For injections identified by specific billing 
codes, Medicare would pay the 2016 rate, which is higher than 
the current rate, during the 2020-2024 period.) Based on 
current utilization in the ASC setting, CBO estimates that 
enacting the legislation would increase direct spending by 
about $115 million over the 2019-2028 period. (If enacted, H.R. 
5804 also would affect spending subject to appropriation; see 
Table 3.)
    H.R. 5809, the Postoperative Opioid Prevention Act of 2018, 
would create an additional payment under Medicare for nonopioid 
analgesics. Under current law, certain new drugs and devices 
may receive an additional payment--separate from the bundled 
payment for a surgical procedure--in outpatient hospital 
departments and ambulatory surgical centers. The bill would 
allow nonopioid analgesics to qualify for a five-year period of 
additional payments. Based on its assessment of current 
spending for analgesics and on the probability of new nonopioid 
analgesics coming to market, CBO estimates that H.R. 5809 would 
increase direct spending by about $180 million over the 2019-
2028 period.
    Legislation Primarily Affecting the Food and Drug 
Administration. One bill related to the FDA would affect direct 
spending.
    H.R. 5333, the Over-the-Counter Monograph Safety, 
Innovation, and Reform Act of 2018, would change the way that 
the FDA regulates the marketing of over-the-counter (OTC) 
medicines, and it would authorize that agency to grant 18 
months of exclusive market protection for certain qualifying 
OTC drugs, thus delaying the entry of other versions of the 
same qualifying OTC product. Medicaid currently provides some 
coverage for OTC medicines, but only if a medicine is the least 
costly alternative in its drug class. On the basis of 
stakeholder feedback, CBO expects that delaying the 
availability of additional OTC versions of a drug would not 
significantly affect the average net price paid by Medicaid. As 
a result, CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 5333 would have a 
negligible effect on the federal budget. (If enacted, H.R. 5333 
also would affect spending subject to appropriation; see Table 
3.)
    Legislation with Revenue Effects. Two bills would affect 
revenues. However, CBO estimates that one bill, H.R. 5228, the 
Stop Counterfeit Drugs by Regulating and Enhancing Enforcement 
Now Act, would have only a negligible effect.
    H.R. 5752, the Stop Illicit Drug Importation Act of 2018, 
would amend the Federal, Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) to 
strengthen the FDA's seizure powers and enhance its authority 
to detain, refuse, seize, or destroy illegal products offered 
for import. The legislation would subject more people to 
debarment under the FDCA and thus increase the potential for 
violations, and subsequently, the assessment of civil 
penalties, which are recorded in the budget as revenues. CBO 
estimates that those collections would result in an 
insignificant increase in revenues. Because H.R. 5752 would 
prohibit the importation of drugs that are in the process of 
being scheduled, it also could reduce amounts collected in 
customs duties. CBO anticipates that the result would be a 
negligible decrease in revenues. With those results taken 
together, CBO estimates, enacting H.R. 5752 would generate an 
insignificant net increase in revenues over the 2019-2028 
period.

Spending subject to appropriation

    For this document, CBO has grouped bills with spending that 
would be subject to appropriation into four general categories:
           Bills that would have no budgetary effect,
           Bills with provisions that would authorize 
        specified amounts to be appropriated (see Table 2),
           Bills with provisions for which CBO has 
        estimated an authorization of appropriations (see Table 
        3), and
           Bills with provisions that would affect 
        spending subject to appropriation for which CBO has not 
        yet completed an estimate.
    No Budgetary Effect. CBO estimates that 6 of the 59 bills 
would have no effect on direct spending, revenues, or spending 
subject to appropriation.
    H.R. 3192, the CHIP Mental Health Parity Act, would require 
all Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) plans to cover 
mental health and substance abuse treatment. In addition, 
states would not be allowed to impose financial or utilization 
limits on mental health treatment that are lower than limits 
placed on physical health treatment. Based on information from 
the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, CBO estimates 
that enacting the bill would have no budgetary effect because 
all CHIP enrollees are already in plans that meet those 
requirements.
    H.R. 3331, a bill to amend title XI of the Social Security 
Act to promote testing of incentive payments for behavioral 
health providers for adoption and use of certified electronic 
health record technology, would give the Center for Medicare 
and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) explicit authorization to test a 
program offering incentive payments to behavioral health 
providers that adopt and use certified electronic health record 
technology. Because it is already clear to CMMI that it has 
that authority, CBO estimates that enacting the legislation 
would not affect federal spending.
    H.R. 5202, the Ensuring Patient Access to Substance Use 
Disorder Treatments Act of 2018, would clarify permission for 
pharmacists to deliver controlled substances to providers under 
certain circumstances. Because this provision would codify 
current practice, CBO estimates that H.R. 5202 would not affect 
direct spending or revenues during the 2019-2028 period.
    H.R. 5685, the Medicare Opioid Safety Education Act of 
2018, would require the Secretary of HHS to include information 
on opioid use, pain management, and nonopioid pain management 
treatments in future editions of Medicare & You, the program's 
handbook for beneficiaries, starting on January 1, 2019. 
Because H.R. 5685 would add information to an existing 
administrative document, CBO estimates that enacting the bill 
would have no budgetary effect.
    H.R. 5686, the Medicare Clear Health Options in Care for 
Enrollees Act of 2018, would require prescription drug plans 
that provide coverage under Medicare Part D to furnish 
information to beneficiaries about the risks of opioid use and 
the availability of alternative treatments for pain. CBO 
estimates that enacting the bill would not affect direct 
spending because the required activities would not impose 
significant administrative costs.
    H.R. 5716, the Commit to Opioid Medical Prescriber 
Accountability and Safety for Seniors Act, would require the 
Secretary of HHS on an annual basis to identify high 
prescribers of opioids and furnish them with information about 
proper prescribing methods. Because HHS already has the 
capacity to meet those requirements, CBO estimates that 
enacting that provision would not impose additional 
administrative costs on the agency.
    Specified Authorizations. Table 2 lists the ten bills that 
would authorize specified amounts to be appropriated over the 
2019-2023 period. Spending from those authorized amounts would 
be subject to appropriation.

Annual amounts may not sum to totals because of rounding. * = between zero and $500,000.

    H.R. 4684, the Ensuring Access to Quality Sober Living Act, 
would direct the Secretary of HHS to develop and disseminate 
best practices for organizations that operate housing designed 
for people recovering from substance use disorders. The bill 
would authorize a total of $3 million over the 2019-2021 period 
for that purpose. Based on historical spending patterns for 
similar activities, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 4684 
would cost $3 million over the 2019-2023 period.
    H.R. 5102, the Substance Use Disorder Workforce Loan 
Repayment Act of 2018, would establish a loan repayment program 
for mental health professionals who practice in areas with few 
mental health providers or with high rates of death from 
overdose and would authorize $25 million per year over the 
2019-2028 period for that purpose. Based on historical spending 
patterns for similar activities, CBO estimates that 
implementing H.R. 5102 would cost $100 million over the 2019-
2023 period; the remaining amounts would be spent in years 
after 2023.
    H.R. 5176, the Preventing Overdoses While in Emergency 
Rooms Act of 2018, would require the Secretary of HHS to 
develop protocols and a grant program for health care providers 
to address the needs of people who survive a drug overdose, and 
it would authorize $50 million in 2019 for that purpose. Based 
on historical spending patterns for similar activities, CBO 
estimates that implementing H.R. 5176 would cost $50 million 
over the 2019-2023 period.
    H.R. 5197, the Alternatives to Opioids (ALTO) in the 
Emergency Department Act, would direct the Secretary of HHS to 
carry out a demonstration program for hospitals and emergency 
departments to develop alternative protocols for pain 
management that limit the use of opioids and would authorize 
$10 million annually in grants for fiscal years 2019 through 
2021. Based on historical spending patterns for similar 
programs, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 5197 would cost 
$30 million over the 2019-2023 period.
    H.R. 5261, the Treatment, Education, and Community Help to 
Combat Addiction Act of 2018,  would direct the Secretary of 
HHS to designate regional centers of excellence to improve the 
training of health professionals who treat substance use 
disorders. The bill would authorize $4 million annually for 
grants to those programs over the 2019-2023 period. Based on 
historical spending patterns for similar activities, CBO 
estimates that implementing H.R. 5261 would cost $16 million 
over the 2019-2023 period; the remaining amounts would be spent 
in years after 2023.
    H.R. 5327, the Comprehensive Opioid Recovery Centers Act of 
2018, would direct the Secretary of HHS to award grants to at 
least 10 providers that offer treatment services for people 
with opioid use disorder, and it would authorize $10 million 
per year over the 2019-2023 period for that purpose. Based on 
historical spending patterns for similar activities, CBO 
estimates that implementing H.R. 5327 would cost $41 million 
over the 2019-2023 period; the remaining amounts would be spent 
in years after 2023.
    H.R. 5329, the Poison Center Network Enhancement Act of 
2018, would reauthorize the poison control center toll-free 
number, national media campaign, and grant program under the 
Public Health Service Act. Among other actions, H.R. 5329 would 
increase the share of poison control center funding that could 
be provided by federal grants. The bill would authorize a total 
of about $30 million per year over the 2019-2023 period. Based 
on historical spending patterns for similar activities, CBO 
estimates that implementing H.R. 5329 would cost $125 million 
over the 2019-2023 period; the remaining amounts would be spent 
in years after 2023.
    H.R 5353, the Eliminating Opioid Related Infectious 
Diseases Act of 2018, would amend the Public Health Service Act 
by broadening the focus of surveillance and education programs 
from preventing and treating hepatitis C virus to preventing 
and treating infections associated with injection drug use. It 
would authorize $40 million per year over 2019-2023 period for 
that purpose. Based on historical spending patterns for similar 
activities, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 5353 would 
cost $166 million over the 2019-2023 period; the remaining 
amounts would be spent in years after 2023.
    H.R. 5580, the Surveillance and Testing of Opioids to 
Prevent Fentanyl Deaths Act of 2018, would establish a grant 
program for public health laboratories that conduct testing for 
fentanyl and other synthetic opioids. It also would direct the 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to expand its drug 
surveillance program, with a particular focus on collecting 
data on fentanyl. The bill would authorize a total of $30 
million per year over the 2018-2022 period for those 
activities. Based on historical spending patterns for similar 
activities, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 5580 would 
cost $113 million over the 2019-2023 period; the remaining 
amounts would be spent in years after 2023.
    H.R. 5587, Peer Support Communities of Recovery Act, would 
direct the Secretary of HHS to award grants to nonprofit 
organizations that support community-based, peer-delivered 
support, including technical support for the establishment of 
recovery community organizations, independent, nonprofit groups 
led by people in recovery and their families. The bill would 
authorize $15 million per year for the 2019-2023 period. Based 
on historical spending patterns for similar activities, CBO 
estimates that implementing H.R. 5587 would cost $62 million 
over the 2019-2023 period; the remaining amounts would be spent 
in years after 2023.
    Estimated Authorizations. Table 3 shows CBO's estimates of 
the appropriations that would be necessary to implement 19 of 
the bills. Spending would be subject to appropriation of those 
amounts.
    H.R. 449, the Synthetic Drug Awareness Act of 2018, would 
require the Surgeon General to report to the Congress on the 
health effects of synthetic psychoactive drugs on children 
between the ages of 12 and 18. Based on spending patterns for 
similar activities, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 449 
would cost approximately $1 million over the 2019-2023 period.
    H.R. 4005, the Medicaid Reentry Act, would direct the 
Secretary of HHS to convene a group of stakeholders to develop 
and report to the Congress on best practices for addressing 
issues related to health care faced by those returning from 
incarceration to their communities. The bill also would require 
the Secretary to issue a letter to state Medicaid directors 
about relevant demonstration projects. Based on an analysis of 
anticipated workload, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 4005 
would cost less than $500,000 over the 2018-2023 period.
    H.R. 4275, the Empowering Pharmacists in the Fight Against 
Opioid Abuse Act, would require the Secretary of HHS to develop 
and disseminate materials for training pharmacists, health care 
practitioners, and the public about the circumstances under 
which a pharmacist may decline to fill a prescription. Based on 
historical spending patterns for similar activities, CBO 
estimates that costs to the federal government for the 
development and distribution of those materials would not be 
significant.

Annual amounts may not sum to totals because of rounding. * = between -$500,000 and $500,000.
aThis bill also would affect mandatory spending (see Table 1).

    H.R. 5009, Jessie's Law, would require HHS, in 
collaboration with outside experts, to develop best practices 
for displaying information about opioid use disorder in a 
patient's medical record. HHS also would be required to develop 
and disseminate written materials annually to health care 
providers about what disclosures could be made while still 
complying with federal laws that govern health care privacy. 
Based on spending patterns for similar activities, CBO 
estimates that implementing H.R. 5009 would have an 
insignificant effect on spending over the 2019-2023 period.
    H.R. 5041, the Safe Disposal of Unused Medication Act, 
would require hospice programs to have written policies and 
procedures for the disposal of controlled substances after a 
patient's death. Certain licensed employees of hospice programs 
would be permitted to assist in the disposal of controlled 
substances that were lawfully dispensed. Using information from 
the Department of Justice (DOJ), CBO estimates that 
implementing the bill would cost less than $500,000 over the 
2019-2023 period.
    H.R. 5272, the Reinforcing Evidence-Based Standards Under 
Law in Treating Substance Abuse Act of 2018, would require the 
newly established National Mental Health and Substance Use 
Policy Laboratory to issue guidance to applicants for SAMHSA 
grants that support evidence-based practices. Using information 
from HHS about the historical cost of similar activities, CBO 
estimates that enacting this bill would cost approximately $4 
million over the 2019-2023 period.
    H.R. 5333, the Over-the-Counter Monograph Safety, 
Innovation, and Reform Act of 2018, would change the FDA's 
oversight of the commercial marketing of OTC medicines and 
authorize the collection and spending of fees through 2023 to 
cover the costs of expediting the FDA's administrative 
procedures for certain regulatory activities relating to OTC 
products. Under H.R. 5333, CBO estimates, the FDA would assess 
about $147 million in fees over the 2019-2023 period that could 
be collected and made available for obligation only to the 
extent and in the amounts provided in advance in appropriation 
acts. Because the FDA could spend those fees, CBO estimates 
that the estimated budget authority for collections and 
spending would offset each other exactly in each year, although 
CBO expects that spending initially would lag behind 
collections. Assuming appropriation action consistent with the 
bill, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 5333 would reduce 
net discretionary outlays by $10 million over the 2019-2023 
period, primarily because of that lag. The bill also would 
require the Government Accountability Office to study exclusive 
market protections for certain qualifying OTC drugs authorized 
by the bill--a provision that CBO estimates would cost less 
than $500,000. (If enacted, H.R. 5333 also would affect 
mandatory spending; see Table 1.)
    H.R. 5473, the Better Pain Management Through Better Data 
Act of 2018, would require that the FDA conduct a public 
meeting and issue guidance to industry addressing data 
collection and labeling for medical products that reduce pain 
while enabling the reduction, replacement, or avoidance of oral 
opioids. Using information from the agency, CBO estimates that 
implementing H.R. 5473 would cost about $1 million over the 
2019-2023 period.
    H.R. 5483, the Special Registration for Telemedicine 
Clarification Act of 2018, would direct DOJ, within one year of 
the bill's enactment, to issue regulations concerning the 
practice of telemedicine (for remote diagnosis and treatment of 
patients). Using information from DOJ, CBO estimates that 
implementing the bill would cost less than $500,000 over the 
2019-2023 period.
    H.R. 5554, the Animal Drug and Animal Generic Drug User Fee 
Amendments of 2018, would authorize the FDA to collect and 
spend fees to cover the cost of expedited approval for the 
development and marketing of certain drugs for use in animals. 
The legislation would extend through fiscal year 2023, and make 
several changes to, the FDA's existing approval processes and 
fee programs for brand-name and generic veterinary drugs, which 
expire at the end of fiscal year 2018. CBO estimates that 
implementing H.R. 5554 would reduce net discretionary outlays 
by $8 million over the 2019-2023 period, primarily because the 
spending of fees lags somewhat behind their collection.
    Fees authorized under the bill would supplement funds 
appropriated to cover the FDA's cost of reviewing certain 
applications and investigational submissions for brand-name and 
generic drugs for use in animals. Those fees could be collected 
and made available for obligation only to the extent and in the 
amounts provided in advance in appropriation acts. Under H.R. 
5554, CBO estimates, the FDA would assess about $257 million in 
fees over the 2019-2023 period. Because the FDA could spend 
those funds, CBO estimates that budget authority for 
collections and spending would offset each other exactly in 
each year. CBO estimates that the delay between collecting and 
spending fees under the reauthorized programs would reduce net 
discretionary outlays by $14 million over the 2019-2023 period, 
assuming appropriation actions consistent with the bill.
    Enacting H.R. 5554 would increase the FDA's workload 
because the legislation would expand eligibility for 
conditional approval for certain drugs. The agency's 
administrative costs also would increase because of regulatory 
activities required by a provision concerning petitions for 
additives intended for use in animal food. H.R. 5554 also would 
require the FDA to publish guidance or produce regulations on a 
range of topics, transmit a report to the Congress, and hold 
public meetings. CBO expects that the costs associated with 
those activities would not be covered by fees, and it estimates 
that implementing such provisions would cost $6 million over 
the 2019-2023 period.
    H.R. 5582, the Abuse Deterrent Access Act of 2018, would 
require the Secretary of HHS to report to the Congress on 
existing barriers to access to ``abuse-deterrent opioid 
formulations'' by Medicare Part C and D beneficiaries. Such 
formulations make the drugs more difficult to dissolve for 
injection, for example, and thus can impede their abuse. 
Assuming the availability of appropriated funds and based on 
historical spending patterns for similar activities, CBO 
estimates that implementing the legislation would cost less 
than $500,000 over the 2019-2023 period.
    H.R. 5590, the Opioid Addiction Action Plan Act, would 
require the Secretary of HHS to develop an action plan by 
January 1, 2019, for increasing access to medication-assisted 
treatment among Medicare and Medicaid enrollees. The bill also 
would require HHS to convene a stakeholder meeting and issue a 
request for information within three months of enactment, and 
to submit a report to the Congress by June 1, 2019. Based on 
historical spending patterns for similar activities, CBO 
estimates that implementing H.R. 5590 would cost approximately 
$2 million over the 2019-2023 period.
    H.R. 5687, the Securing Opioids and Unused Narcotics with 
Deliberate Disposal and Packaging Act of 2018, would permit the 
FDA to require certain packaging and disposal technologies, 
controls, or measures to mitigate the risk of abuse and misuse 
of drugs. Based on information from the FDA, CBO estimates that 
implementing H.R. 5687 would not significantly affect spending 
over the 2019-2023 period. This bill would also require that 
the GAO study the effectiveness and use of packaging 
technologies for controlled substances--a provision that CBO 
estimates would cost less than $500,000.
    H.R. 5715, the Strengthening Partnerships to Prevent Opioid 
Abuse Act, would require the Secretary of HHS to establish a 
secure Internet portal to allow HHS, Medicare Advantage plans, 
and Medicare Part D plans to exchange information about fraud, 
waste, and abuse among providers and suppliers no later than 
two years after enactment. H.R. 5715 also would require 
organizations with Medicare Advantage contracts to submit 
information on investigations related to providers suspected of 
prescribing large volumes of opioids through a process 
established by the Secretary no later than January 2021. Based 
on historical spending patterns for similar activities, CBO 
estimates that implementing H.R. 5715 would cost approximately 
$9 million over the 2019-2023 period.
    H.R. 5789, a bill to require the Secretary of Health and 
Human Services to issue guidance to improve care for infants 
with neonatal abstinence syndrome and their mothers, and to 
require the Comptroller General of the United States to conduct 
a study on gaps in Medicaid coverage for pregnant and 
postpartum women with substance use disorder, would direct the 
Secretary of HHS to issue guidance to states on best practices 
under Medicaid and CHIP for treating infants with neonatal 
abstinence syndrome. H.R. 5789 also would direct the Government 
Accountability Office to study Medicaid coverage for pregnant 
and postpartum women with substance use disorders. Based on 
inforation from HHS and historical spending patterns for 
similar activities, CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 5789 would 
cost approximately $2 million over the 2019-2023 period.
    H.R. 5795, the Overdose Prevention and Patient Safety Act, 
would amend the Public Health Service Act so that requirements 
pertaining to the confidentiality and disclosure of medical 
records relating to substance use disorders align with the 
provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and 
Accountability Act of 1996. The bill would require the Office 
of the Secretary of HHS to issue regulations prohibiting 
discrimination based on data disclosed from such medical 
records, to issue regulations requiring covered entities to 
provide written notice of privacy practices, and to develop 
model training programs and materials for health care providers 
and patients and their families. Based on spending patterns for 
similar activities, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 5795 
would cost approximately $1 million over the 2019-2023 period.
    H.R. 5800, Medicaid IMD ADDITIONAL INFO Act, would direct 
the Medicaid and CHIP Payment and Access Commission to study 
institutions for mental diseases in a representative sample of 
states. Based on information from the commission about the cost 
of similar work, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 5800 
would cost about $1 million over the 2019-2023 period.
    H.R. 5804, the Post-Surgical Injections as an Opioid 
Alternative Act, would freeze the Medicare payment rate for 
certain analgesic injections provided in ambulatory surgical 
centers. The bill also would mandate two studies of Medicare 
coding and payments arising from enactment of this legislation. 
Based on the cost of similar activities, CBO estimates that 
those reports would cost $1 million over the 2019-2023 period. 
(If enacted, H.R. 5804 also would affect mandatory spending; 
see Table 1.)
    H.R. 5811, a bill to amend the Federal Food, Drug, and 
Cosmetic Act with respect to postapproval study requirements 
for certain controlled substances, and for other purposes, 
would allow the FDA to require that pharmaceutical 
manufacturers study certain drugs after they are approved to 
assess any potential reduction in those drugs' effectiveness 
for the conditions of use prescribed, recommended, or suggested 
in labeling. CBO anticipates that implementing H.R. 5811 would 
not significantly affect the FDA's costs over the 2019-2023 
period.
    Other Authorizations. The following nine bills would 
increase authorization levels, but CBO has not completed 
estimates of amounts. All authorizations would be subject to 
future appropriation action.
           H.R. 4284, Indexing Narcotics, Fentanyl, and 
        Opioids Act of 2017
           H.R. 5002, Advancing Cutting Edge Research 
        Act
           H.R. 5228, Stop Counterfeit Drugs by 
        Regulating and Enhancing Enforcement Now Act (see Table 
        1 for an estimate of the revenue effects of H.R. 5228)
           H.R. 5752, Stop Illicit Drug Importation Act 
        of 2018 (see Table 1 for an estimate of the revenue 
        effects of H.R. 5752)
           H.R. 5799, Medicaid DRUG Improvement Act 
        (see Table 1 for an estimate of the direct spending 
        effects of H.R. 5799)
           H.R. 5801, Medicaid Providers and 
        Pharmacists Are Required to Note Experiences in Record 
        Systems to Help In-Need Patients (PARTNERSHIP) Act (see 
        Table 1 for an estimate of the direct spending effects 
        of H.R. 5801)
           H.R. 5806, 21st Century Tools for Pain and 
        Addiction Treatments Act
           H.R. 5808, Medicaid Pharmaceutical Home Act 
        of 2018 (see Table 1 for an estimate of the direct 
        spending effects of H.R. 5808)
           H.R. 5812, Creating Opportunities that 
        Necessitate New and Enhanced Connections That Improve 
        Opioid Navigation Strategies Act (CONNECTIONS) Act
    Pay-As-You-Go considerations: The Statutory Pay-As-You-Go 
Act of 2010 establishes budget-reporting and enforcement 
procedures for legislation affecting direct spending or 
revenues. Twenty-two of the bills discussed in this document 
contain direct spending or revenues and are subject to pay-as-
you-go procedures. Details about the amount of direct spending 
and revenues in those bills can be found in Table 1.
    Increase in long-term direct spending and deficits: CBO 
estimates that enacting H.R. 4998, the Health Insurance for 
Former Foster Youth Act, would increase net direct spending by 
more than $2.5 billion and on-budget deficits by more than $5 
billion in at least one of the four consecutive 10-year periods 
beginning in 2029.
    CBO estimates that none of the remaining 58 bills included 
in this estimate would increase net direct spending by more 
than $2.5 billion or on-budget deficits by more than $5 billion 
in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 
2029.
    Mandates: One of the 59 bills included in this document, 
H.R. 5795, would impose both intergovernmental and private-
sector mandates as defined in UMRA. CBO estimates that the 
costs of that bill's mandates on public and private entities 
would fall below UMRA's thresholds ($80 million and $160 
million, respectively, for public- and private-sector entities 
in 2018, adjusted annually for inflation).
    In addition, five bills would impose private-sector 
mandates as defined in UMRA. CBO estimates that the costs of 
the mandates in three of those bills (H.R. 5333, H.R. 5554, and 
H.R. 5811) would fall below the UMRA threshold. Because CBO 
does not know how federal agencies would implement new 
authority granted in the other two of those five bills, H.R. 
5228 and 5687, CBO cannot determine whether the costs of their 
mandates would exceed the threshold.
    For large entitlement grant programs, including Medicaid 
and CHIP, UMRA defines an increase in the stringency of 
conditions on states or localities as an intergovernmental 
mandate if the affected governments lack authority to offset 
those costs while continuing to provide required services. 
Because states possess significant flexibility to alter their 
responsibilities within Medicaid and CHIP, the requirements 
imposed by various bills in the markup on state administration 
of those programs would not constitute mandates as defined in 
UMRA.

Mandates Affecting Public and Private Entities

    H.R. 5795, the Overdose Prevention and Patient Safety Act, 
would impose intergovernmental and private-sector mandates by 
requiring entities that provide treatment for substance use 
disorders to notify patients of their privacy rights and also 
to notify patients in the event that the confidentiality of 
their records is breached. In certain circumstances, H.R. 5795 
also would prohibit public and private entities from denying 
entry to treatment on the basis of information in patient 
health records. Those requirements would either supplant or 
narrowly expand responsibilities under existing law, and 
compliance with them would not impose significant additional 
costs. CBO estimates that the costs of the mandates would fall 
below the annual thresholds established in UMRA.

Mandates Affecting Private Entities

    Five bills included in this document would impose private-
sector mandates:
    H.R. 5228, the Stop Counterfeit Drugs by Regulating and 
Enhancing Enforcement Now Act, would require drug distributors 
to cease distributing any drug that the Secretary of HHS 
determines might present an imminent or substantial hazard to 
public health. CBO cannot determine what drugs could be subject 
to such an order nor can it determine how private entities 
would respond. Consequently, CBO cannot determine whether the 
aggregate cost of the mandate would exceed the annual threshold 
for private-sector mandates.
    H.R. 5333, the Over-the-Counter Monograph Safety, 
Innovation, and Reform Act of 2018, would require developers 
and manufacturers of OTC drugs to pay certain fees to the FDA. 
CBO estimates that about $30 million would be collected each 
year, on average, for a total of $147 million over the 2019-
2023 period. Those amounts would not exceed the annual 
threshold for private-sector mandates in any year during that 
period.
    H.R. 5554, the Animal Drug and Animal Generic Drug User Fee 
Amendments of 2018, would require developers and manufacturers 
of brand-name and generic veterinary drugs to pay application, 
product, establishment, and sponsor fees to the FDA. CBO 
estimates that about $51 million would be collected annually, 
on average, for a total of $257 million over the 2019-2023 
period. Those amounts would not exceed the annual threshold for 
private-sector mandates in any year during that period.
    H.R. 5687, the Securing Opioids and Unused Narcotics with 
Deliberate Disposal and Packaging Act of 2018, would permit the 
Secretary of HHS to require drug developers and manufacturers 
to implement new packaging and disposal technology for certain 
drugs. Based on information from the agency, CBO expects that 
the Secretary would use the new regulatory authority provided 
in the bill; however, it is uncertain how or when those 
requirements would be implemented. Consequently, CBO cannot 
determine whether the aggregate cost of the mandate would 
exceed the annual threshold for private entities.
    H.R. 5811, a bill to amend the Federal Food, Drug, and 
Cosmetic Act with respect to postapproval study requirements 
for certain controlled substances, and for other purposes, 
would expand an existing mandate that requires drug developers 
to conduct postapproval studies or clinical trials for certain 
drugs. Under current law, in certain instances, the FDA can 
require studies or clinical trials after a drug has been 
approved. H.R. 5811 would permit the FDA to use that authority 
if the reduction in a drug's effectiveness meant that its 
benefits no longer outweighed its costs. CBO estimates that the 
incremental cost of the mandate would fall below the annual 
threshold established in UMRA because of the small number of 
drugs affected and the narrow expansion of the authority that 
exists under current law.
    None of the remaining 53 bills included in this document 
would impose an intergovernmental or private-sector mandate.
    Previous CBO estimate: On June 6, 2018, CBO issued an 
estimate for seven opioid-related bills ordered reported by the 
House Committee on Ways and Means on May 16, 2018. Two of those 
bills contain provisions that are identical or similar to the 
legislation ordered reported by the Committee on Energy and 
Commerce, and for those provisions, CBO's estimates are the 
same.
    In particular, five bills listed in this estimate contain 
provisions that are identical or similar to those in several 
sections of H.R. 5773, the Preventing Addiction for Susceptible 
Seniors Act of 2018:
     H.R. 5675, which would require prescription drug 
plans to implement drug management programs, is identical to 
section 2 of H.R. 5773.
     H.R. 4841, regarding electronic prior 
authorization for prescriptions under Medicare's Part D, is 
similar to section 3 of H.R. 5773.
     H.R. 5715, which would mandate the creation of a 
new Internet portal to allow various stakeholders to exchange 
information, is identical to section 4 of H.R. 5773.
     H.R. 5684, which would expand medication therapy 
management, is the same as section 5 of H.R. 5773.
     H.R. 5716, regarding prescriber notification, is 
identical to section 6 of H.R. 5773.
    In addition, in this estimate, a provision related to 
Medicare beneficiary education in H.R. 5686, the Medicare Clear 
Health Options in Care for Enrollees Act of 2018, is the same 
as a provision in section 2 of H.R. 5775, the Providing 
Reliable Options for Patients and Educational Resources Act of 
2018, in CBO's estimate for the Committee on Ways and Means.

                       Federal Mandates Statement

    The Committee adopts as its own the estimate of Federal 
mandates prepared by the Director of the Congressional Budget 
Office pursuant to section 423 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform 
Act.

         Statement of General Performance Goals and Objectives

    Pursuant to clause 3(c)(4) of rule XIII, the general 
performance goal or objective of this legislation is to require 
states to ensure that former foster youth are able to keep 
their Medicaid coverage across state lines until the age of 26.

                    Duplication of Federal Programs

    Pursuant to clause 3(c)(5) of rule XIII, no provision of 
H.R. 4998 is known to be duplicative of another Federal 
program, including any program that was included in a report to 
Congress pursuant to section 21 of Public Law 111-139 or the 
most recent Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance.

                        Committee Cost Estimate

    Pursuant to clause 3(d)(1) of rule XIII, the Committee 
adopts as its own the cost estimate prepared by the Director of 
the Congressional Budget Office pursuant to section 402 of the

                   STATE PLANS FOR MEDICAL ASSISTANCE

  Sec. 1902. (a) A State plan for medical assistance must--
          (1) provide that it shall be in effect in all 
        political subdivisions of the State, and, if 
        administered by them, be mandatory upon them;
          (2) provide for financial participation by the State 
        equal to not less than 40 per centum of the non-Federal 
        share of the expenditures under the plan with respect 
        to which payments under section 1903 are authorized by 
        this title; and, effective July 1, 1969, provide for 
        financial participation by the State equal to all of 
        such non-Federal share or provide for distribution of 
        funds from Federal or State sources, for carrying out 
        the State plan, on an equalization or other basis which 
        will assure that the lack of adequate funds from local 
        sources will not result in lowering the amount, 
        duration, scope, or quality of care and services 
        available under the plan;
          (3) provide for granting an opportunity for a fair 
        hearing before the State agency to any individual whose 
        claim for medical assistance under the plan is denied 
        or is not acted upon with reasonable promptness;
          (4) provide (A) such methods of administration 
        (including methods relating to the establishment and 
        maintenance of personnel standards on a merit basis, 
        except that the Secretary shall exercise no authority 
        with respect to the selection, tenure of office, and 
        compensation of any individual employed in accordance 
        with such methods, and including provision for 
        utilization of professional medical personnel in the 
        administration and, where administered locally, 
        supervision of administration of the plan) as are found 
        by the Secretary to be necessary for the proper and 
        efficient operation of the plan, (B) for the training 
        and effective use of paid subprofessional staff, with 
        particular emphasis on the full-time or part-time 
        employment of recipients and other persons of low 
        income, as community service aides, in the 
        administration of the plan and for the use of nonpaid 
        or partially paid volunteers in a social service 
        volunteer program in providing services to applicants 
        and recipients and in assisting any advisory committees 
        established by the State agency, (C) that each State or 
        local officer, employee, or independent contractor who 
        is responsible for the expenditure of substantial 
        amounts of funds under the State plan, each individual 
        who formerly was such an officer, employee, or 
        contractor, and each partner of such an officer, 
        employee, or contractor shall be prohibited from 
        committing any act, in relation to any activity under 
        the plan, the commission of which, in connection with 
        any activity concerning the United States Government, 
        by an officer or employee of the United States 
        Government, an individual who was such an officer or 
        employee, or a partner of such an officer or employee 
        is prohibited by section 207 or 208 of title 18, United 
        States Code, and (D) that each State or local officer, 
        employee, or independent contractor who is responsible 
        for selecting, awarding, or otherwise obtaining items 
        and services under the State plan shall be subject to 
        safeguards against conflicts of interest that are at 
        least as stringent as the safeguards that apply under 
        section 27 of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy 
        Act (41 U.S.C. 423) to persons described in subsection 
        (a)(2) of such section of that Act;
          (5) either provide for the establishment or 
        designation of a single State agency to administer or 
        to supervise the administration of the plan; or provide 
        for the establishment or designation of a single State 
        agency to administer or to supervise the administration 
        of the plan, except that the determination of 
        eligibility for medical assistance under the plan shall 
        be made by the State or local agency administering the 
        State plan approved under title I or XVI (insofar as it 
        relates to the aged) if the State is eligible to 
        participate in the State plan program established under 
        title XVI, or by the agency or agencies administering 
        the supplemental security income program established 
        under title XVI or the State plan approved under part A 
        of title IV if the State is not eligible to participate 
        in the State plan program established under title XVI;
          (6) provide that the State agency will make such 
        reports, in such form and containing such information, 
        as the Secretary may from time to time require, and 
        comply with such provisions as the Secretary may from 
        time to time find necessary to assure the correctness 
        and verification of such reports;
          (7) provide--
                  (A) safeguards which restrict the use or 
                disclosure of information concerning applicants 
                and recipients to purposes directly connected 
                with--
                          (i) the administration of the plan; 
                        and
                          (ii) the exchange of information 
                        necessary to certify or verify the 
                        certification of eligibility of 
                        children for free or reduced price 
                        breakfasts under the Child Nutrition 
                        Act of 1966 and free or reduced price 
                        lunches under the Richard B. Russell 
                        National School Lunch Act, in 
                        accordance with section 9(b) of that 
                        Act, using data standards and formats 
                        established by the State agency; and
                  (B) that, notwithstanding the Express Lane 
                option under subsection (e)(13), the State may 
                enter into an agreement with the State agency 
                administering the school lunch program 
                established under the Richard B. Russell 
                National School Lunch Act under which the State 
                shall establish procedures to ensure that--
                          (i) a child receiving medical 
                        assistance under the State plan under 
                        this title whose family income does not 
                        exceed 133 percent of the poverty line 
                        (as defined in section 673(2) of the 
                        Community Services Block Grant Act, 
                        including any revision required by such 
                        section), as determined without regard

                        Child Nutrition Act of 1966 without 
                        further application; and
                          (ii) the State agencies responsible 
                        for administering the State plan under

        such services furnished by a person or entity convicted 
        of a felony under Federal or State law for an offense 
        which the State agency determines is inconsistent with

                reasonable measures to ascertain the legal 
                liability of third parties (including health 
                insurers, self-insured plans, group health 
                plans (as defined in section 607(1) of the

                of a claim for a health care item or service) 
                to pay for care and services available under 
                the plan, including--
                          (i) the collection of sufficient 
                        information (as specified by the 
                        Secretary in regulations) to enable the 
                        State to pursue claims against such 
                        third parties, with such information 
                        being collected at the time of any 
                        determination or redetermination of 
                        eligibility for medical assistance, and
                          (ii) the submission to the Secretary 
                        of a plan (subject to approval by the 
                        Secretary) for pursuing claims against 
                        such third parties, which plan shall be 
                        integrated with, and be monitored as a 
                        part of the Secretary's review of, the 
                        State's mechanized claims processing 
                        and information retrieval systems 
                        required under section 1903(r);
                  (B) that in any case where such a legal 
                liability is found to exist after medical 
                assistance has been made available on behalf of 
                the individual and where the amount of 
                reimbursement the State can reasonably expect 
                to recover exceeds the costs of such recovery, 
                the State or local agency will seek 
                reimbursement for such assistance to the extent 
                of such legal liability;
                  (C) that in the case of an individual who is 
                entitled to medical assistance under the State 
                plan with respect to a service for which a 
                third party is liable for payment, the person 
                furnishing the service may not seek to collect 
                from the individual (or any financially 
                responsible relative or representative of that 
                individual) payment of an amount for that 
                service (i) if the total of the amount of the 
                liabilities of third parties for that service 
                is at least equal to the amount payable for 
                that service under the plan (disregarding 
                section 1916), or (ii) in an amount which 
                exceeds the lesser of (I) the amount which may 
                be collected under section 1916, or (II) the 
                amount by which the amount payable for that 
                service under the plan (disregarding section 
                1916) exceeds the total of the amount of the 
                liabilities of third parties for that service;
                  (D) that a person who furnishes services and 
                is participating under the plan may not refuse 
                to furnish services to an individual (who is 
                entitled to have payment made under the plan 
                for the services the person furnishes) because 
                of a third party's potential liability for 
                payment for the service;
                  (E) that in the case of preventive pediatric 
                care (including early and periodic screening 
                and diagnosis services under section 
                1905(a)(4)(B)) covered under the State plan, 
                the State shall--
                          (i) make payment for such service in 
                        accordance with the usual payment 
                        schedule under such plan for such 
                        services without regard to the 
                        liability of a third party for payment 
                        for such services; and
                          (ii) seek reimbursement from such 
                        third party in accordance with 
                        subparagraph (B);
                  (F) that in the case of any services covered 
                under such plan which are provided to an 
                individual on whose behalf child support 
                enforcement is being carried out by the State 
                agency under part D of title IV of this Act, 
                the State shall--
                          (i) make payment for such service in 
                        accordance with the usual payment 
                        schedule under such plan for such 
                        services without regard to any third-
                        party liability for payment for such 
                        services, if such third-party liability 
                        is derived (through insurance or 
                        otherwise) from the parent whose 
                        obligation to pay support is being 
                        enforced by such agency, if payment has 
                        not been made by such third party 
                        within 30 days after such services are 
                        furnished;
                          (ii) seek reimbursement from such 
                        third party in accordance with 
                        subparagraph (B);
                  (G) that the State prohibits any health 
                insurer (including a group health plan, as 
                defined in section 607(1) of the Employee 
                Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, a self-
                insured plan, a service benefit plan, a managed 
                care organization, a pharmacy benefit manager, 
                or other party that is, by statute, contract, 
                or agreement, legally responsible for payment 
                of a claim for a health care item or service), 
                in enrolling an individual or in making any 
                payments for benefits to the individual or on 
                the individual's behalf, from taking into 
                account that the individual is eligible for or 
                is provided medical assistance under a plan 
                under this title for such State, or any other 
                State;
                  (H) that to the extent that payment has been 
                made under the State plan for medical 
                assistance in any case where a third party has 
                a legal liability to make payment for such 
                assistance, the State has in effect laws under 
                which, to the extent that payment has been made 
                under the State plan for medical assistance for 
                health care items or services furnished to an 
                individual, the State is considered to have 
                acquired the rights of such individual to 
                payment by any other party for such health care 
                items or services; and
                  (I) that the State shall provide assurances 
                satisfactory to the Secretary that the State 
                has in effect laws requiring health insurers, 
                including self-insured plans, group health 
                plans (as defined in section 607(1) of the 
                Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 
                1974), service benefit plans, managed care 
                organizations, pharmacy benefit managers, or 
                other parties that are, by statute, contract, 
                or agreement, legally responsible for payment 
                of a claim for a health care item or service, 
                as a condition of doing business in the State, 
                to--
                          (i) provide, with respect to 
                        individuals who are eligible (and, at 
                        State option, individuals who apply or 
                        whose eligibility for medical 
                        assistance is being evaluated in

                        and child health assistance under title 
                        XXI, upon the request of the State, 
                        information to determine during what 
                        period the individual or their spouses 
                        or their dependents may be (or may have 
                        been) covered by a health insurer and 
                        the nature of the coverage that is or 
                        was provided by the health insurer 
                        (including the name, address, and 
                        identifying number of the plan) in a 
                        manner prescribed by the Secretary;
                          (ii) accept the State's right of 
                        recovery and the assignment to the 
                        State of any right of an individual or 
                        other entity to payment from the party 
                        for an item or service for which 
                        payment has been made under the State 
                        plan;
                          (iii) respond to any inquiry by the 
                        State regarding a claim for payment for

                          (iv) agree not to deny a claim 
                        submitted by the State solely on the 
                        basis of the date of submission of the

                                which the item or service was 
                                furnished; and
                                  (II) any action by the State 
                                to enforce its rights with 
                                respect to such claim is

        institution providing services under the State plan 
        under which such person or institution agrees (A) to 
        keep such records as are necessary fully to disclose 
        the extent of the services provided to individuals 
        receiving assistance under the State plan, and (B) to 
        furnish the State agency or the Secretary with such 
        information, regarding any payments claimed by such 
        person or institution for providing services under the 
        State plan, as the State agency or the Secretary may 
        from time to time request;
          (28) provide--
                  (A) that any nursing facility receiving 
                payments under such plan must satisfy all the 
                requirements of subsections (b) through (d) of 
                section 1919 as they apply to such facilities;
                  (B) for including in ``nursing facility 
                services'' at least the items and services 
                specified (or deemed to be specified) by the 
                Secretary under section 1919(f)(7) and making 
                available upon request a description of the 
                items and services so included;
                  (C) for procedures to make available to the 
                public the data and methodology used in 
                establishing payment rates for nursing 
                facilities under this title; and
                  (D) for compliance (by the date specified in 
                the respective sections) with the requirements 
                of--
                          (i) section 1919(e);
                          (ii) section 1919(g) (relating to 
                        responsibility for survey and 
                        certification of nursing facilities); 
                        and
                          (iii) sections 1919(h)(2)(B) and 
                        1919(h)(2)(D) (relating to 
                        establishment and application of 
                        remedies);
          (29) include a State program which meets the 
        requirements set forth in section 1908, for the 
        licensing of administrators of nursing homes;
          (30)(A) provide such methods and procedures relating 
        to the utilization of, and the payment for, care and 
        services available under the plan (including but not 
        limited to utilization review plans as provided for in 
        section 1903(i)(4)) as may be necessary to safeguard 
        against unnecessary utilization of such care and 
        services and to assure that payments are consistent 
        with efficiency, economy, and quality of care and are 
        sufficient to enlist enough providers so that care and 
        services are available under the plan at least to the 
        extent that such care and services are available to the 
        general population in the geographic area; and
          (B) provide, under the program described in 
        subparagraph (A), that--
                  (i) each admission to a hospital, 
                intermediate care facility for the mentally 
                retarded, or hospital for mental diseases is 
                reviewed or screened in accordance with 
                criteria established by medical and other 
                professional personnel who are not themselves 
                directly responsible for the care of the 
                patient involved, and who do not have a 
                significant financial interest in any such 
                institution and are not, except in the case of 
                a hospital, employed by the institution 
                providing the care involved, and
                  (ii) the information developed from such 
                review or screening, along with the data 
                obtained from prior reviews of the necessity 
                for admission and continued stay of patients by 
                such professional personnel, shall be used as 
                the basis for establishing the size and 
                composition of the sample of admissions to be 
                subject to review and evaluation by such 
                personnel, and any such sample may be of any 
                size up to 100 percent of all admissions and 
                must be of sufficient size to serve the purpose 
                of (I) identifying the patterns of care being 
                provided and the changes occurring over time in 
                such patterns so that the need for modification 
                may be ascertained, and (II) subjecting 
                admissions to early or more extensive review 
                where information indicates that such 
                consideration is warranted to a hospital, 
                intermediate care facility for the mentally 
                retarded, or hospital for mental diseases;
          (31) with respect to services in an intermediate care 
        facility for the mentally retarded (where the State 
        plan includes medical assistance for such services) 
        provide, with respect to each patient receiving such 
        services, for a written plan of care, prior to 
        admission to or authorization of benefits in such 
        facility, in accordance with regulations of the 
        Secretary, and for a regular program of independent 
        professional review (including medical evaluation) 
        which shall periodically review his need for such 
        services;
          (32) provide that no payment under the plan for any 
        care or service provided to an individual shall be made 
        to anyone other than such individual or the person or 
        institution providing such care or service, under an 
        assignment or power of attorney or otherwise; except 
        that--
                  (A) in the case of any care or service 
                provided by a physician, dentist, or other 
                individual practitioner, such payment may be 
                made (i) to the employer of such physician, 
                dentist, or other practitioner if such 
                physician, dentist, or practitioner is required 
                as a condition of his employment to turn over 
                his fee for such care or service to his 
                employer, or (ii) (where the care or service 
                was provided in a hospital, clinic, or other 
                facility) to the facility in which the care or 
                service was provided if there is a contractual 
                arrangement between such physician, dentist, or 
                practitioner and such facility under which such 
                facility submits the bill for such care or 
                service;
                  (B) nothing in this paragraph shall be 
                construed (i) to prevent the making of such a 
                payment in accordance with an assignment from 
                the person or institution providing the care or 
                service involved if such assignment is made to 
                a governmental agency or entity or is 
                established by or pursuant to the order of a 
                court of competent jurisdiction, or (ii) to 
                preclude an agent of such person or institution 
                from receiving any such payment if (but only 
                if) such agent does so pursuant to an agency 
                agreement under which the compensation to be 
                paid to the agent for his services for or in 
                connection with the billing or collection of 
                payments due such person or institution under 
                the plan is unrelated (directly or indirectly) 
                to the amount of such payments or the billings 
                therefor, and is not dependent upon the actual 
                collection of any such payment;
                  (C) in the case of services furnished (during 
                a period that does not exceed 14 continuous 
                days in the case of an informal reciprocal 
                arrangement or 90 continuous days (or such 
                longer period as the Secretary may provide) in 
                the case of an arrangement involving per diem 
                or other fee-for-time compensation) by, or 
                incident to the services of, one physician to 
                the patients of another physician who submits 
                the claim for such services, payment shall be 
                made to the physician submitting the claim (as 
                if the services were furnished by, or incident 
                to, the physician's services), but only if the 
                claim identifies (in a manner specified by the 
                Secretary) the physician who furnished the 
                services; and
                  (D) in the case of payment for a childhood 
                vaccine administered before October 1, 1994, to 
                individuals entitled to medical assistance 
                under the State plan, the State plan may make 
                payment directly to the manufacturer of the 
                vaccine under a voluntary replacement program 
                agreed to by the State pursuant to which the 
                manufacturer (i) supplies doses of the vaccine 
                to providers administering the vaccine, (ii) 
                periodically replaces the supply of the 
                vaccine, and (iii) charges the State the 
                manufacturer's price to the Centers for Disease 
                Control and Prevention for the vaccine so 
                administered (which price includes a reasonable 
                amount to cover shipping and the handling of 
                returns);
          (33) provide--
                  (A) that the State health agency, or other 
                appropriate State medical agency, shall be 
                responsible for establishing a plan, consistent 
                with regulations prescribed by the Secretary, 
                for the review by appropriate professional 
                health personnel of the appropriateness and 
                quality of care and services furnished to 
                recipients of medical assistance under the plan 
                in order to provide guidance with respect 
                thereto in the administration of the plan to 
                the State agency established or designated 
                pursuant to paragraph (5) and, where 
                applicable, to the State agency described in 
                the second sentence of this subsection; and
                  (B) that, except as provided in section 
                1919(g), the State or local agency utilized by 
                the Secretary for the purpose specified in the 
                first sentence of section 1864(a), or, if such 
                agency is not the State agency which is 
                responsible for licensing health institutions, 
                the State agency responsible for such 
                licensing, will perform for the State agency 
                administering or supervising the administration 
                of the plan approved under this title the 
                function of determining whether institutions 
                and agencies meet the requirements for 
                participation in the program under such plan, 
                except that, if the Secretary has cause to 
                question the adequacy of such determinations, 
                the Secretary is authorized to validate State 
                determinations and, on that basis, make 
                independent and binding determinations 
                concerning the extent to which individual 
                institutions and agencies meet the requirements 
                for participation;
          (34) provide that in the case of any individual who 
        has been determined to be eligible for medical 
        assistance under the plan, such assistance will be made 
        available to him for care and services included under 
        the plan and furnished in or after the third month 
        before the month in which he made application (or 
        application was made on his behalf in the case of a 
        deceased individual) for such assistance if such 
        individual was (or upon application would have been) 
        eligible for such assistance at the time such care and 
        services were furnished;
          (35) provide that any disclosing entity (as defined 
        in section 1124(a)(2)) receiving payments under such 
        plan complies with the requirements of section 1124;
          (36) provide that within 90 days following the 
        completion of each survey of any health care facility, 
        laboratory, agency, clinic, or organization, by the 
        appropriate State agency described in paragraph (9), 
        such agency shall (in accordance with regulations of 
        the Secretary) make public in readily available form 
        and place the pertinent findings of each such survey 
        relating to the compliance of each such health care 
        facility, laboratory, clinic, agency, or organization 
        with (A) the statutory conditions of participation 
        imposed under this title, and (B) the major additional 
        conditions which the Secretary finds necessary in the 
        interest of health and safety of individuals who are 
        furnished care or services by any such facility, 
        laboratory, clinic, agency, or organization;
          (37) provide for claims payment procedures which (A) 
        ensure that 90 per centum of claims for payment (for 
        which no further written information or substantiation 
        is required in order to make payment) made for services 
        covered under the plan and furnished by health care 
        practitioners through individual or group practices or 
        through shared health facilities are paid within 30 
        days of the date of receipt of such claims and that 99 
        per centum of such claims are paid within 90 days of 
        the date of receipt of such claims, and (B) provide for 
        procedures of prepayment and postpayment claims review, 
        including review of appropriate data with respect to 
        the recipient and provider of a service and the nature 
        of the service for which payment is claimed, to ensure 
        the proper and efficient payment of claims and 
        management of the program;
          (38) require that an entity (other than an individual 
        practitioner or a group of practitioners) that 
        furnishes, or arranges for the furnishing of, items or 
        services under the plan, shall supply (within such 
        period as may be specified in regulations by the 
        Secretary or by the single State agency which 
        administers or supervises the administration of the 
        plan) upon request specifically addressed to such 
        entity by the Secretary or such State agency, the 
        information described in section 1128(b)(9);
          (39) provide that the State agency shall exclude any 
        specified individual or entity from participation in

        specified by the Secretary, when required by him to do 
        so pursuant to section 1128 or section 1128A, terminate 
        the participation of any individual or entity in such 
        program if (subject to such exceptions as are permitted 
        with respect to exclusion under sections 1128(c)(3)(B) 
        and 1128(d)(3)(B)) participation of such individual or 
        entity is terminated under title XVIII, any other State 
        plan under this title (or waiver of the plan), or any 
        State child health plan under title XXI (or waiver of 
        the plan) and such termination is included by the 
        Secretary in any database or similar system developed 
        pursuant to section 6401(b)(2) of the Patient 
        Protection and Affordable Care Act, and provide that no 
        payment may be made under the plan with respect to any 
        item or service furnished by such individual or entity 
        during such period;
          (40) require each health services facility or 
        organization which receives payments under the plan and 
        of a type for which a uniform reporting system has been 
        established under section 1121(a) to make reports to 
        the Secretary of information described in such section 
        in accordance with the uniform reporting system 
        (established under such section) for that type of 
        facility or organization;
          (41) provide, in accordance with subsection (kk)(8) 
        (as applicable), that whenever a provider of services 
        or any other person is terminated, suspended, or 
        otherwise sanctioned or prohibited from participating 
        under the State plan, the State agency shall promptly 
        notify the Secretary and, in the case of a physician 
        and notwithstanding paragraph (7), the State medical 
        licensing board of such action;
          (42) provide that--
                  (A) the records of any entity participating 
                in the plan and providing services reimbursable 
                on a cost-related basis will be audited as the 
                Secretary determines to be necessary to insure 
                that proper payments are made under the plan; 
                and
                  (B) not later than December 31, 2010, the 
                State shall--
                          (i) establish a program under which 
                        the State contracts (consistent with 
                        State law and in the same manner as the 
                        Secretary enters into contracts with 
                        recovery audit contractors under 
                        section 1893(h), subject to such 
                        exceptions or requirements as the 
                        Secretary may require for purposes of 
                        this title or a particular State) with 
                        1 or more recovery audit contractors 
                        for the purpose of identifying 
                        underpayments and overpayments and 
                        recouping overpayments under the State 
                        plan and under any waiver of the State 
                        plan with respect to all services for 
                        which payment is made to any entity 
                        under such plan or waiver; and
                          (ii) provide assurances satisfactory 
                        to the Secretary that--
                                  (I) under such contracts, 
                                payment shall be made to such a 
                                contractor only from amounts 
                                recovered;
                                  (II) from such amounts 
                                recovered, payment--

                        under section 1877 and such other

                        assistance under this title.
Notwithstanding paragraph (5), if on January 1, 1965, and on 
the date on which a State submits its plan for approval under 
this title, the State agency which administered or supervised 
the administration of the plan of such State approved under 
title X (or title XVI, insofar as it relates to the blind) was 
different from the State agency which administered or 
supervised the administration of the State plan approved under 
title I (or title XVI, insofar as it relates to the aged), the 
State agency which administered or supervised the 
administration of such plan approved under title X (or title 
XVI, insofar as it relates to the blind) may be designated to 
administer or supervise the administration of the portion of 
the State plan for medical assistance which relates to blind 
individuals and a different State agency may be established or 
designated to administer or supervise the administration of the 
rest of the State plan for medical assistance; and in such case 
the part of the plan which each such agency administers, or the 
administration of which each such agency supervises, shall be 
regarded as a separate plan for purposes of this title (except 
for purposes of paragraph (10)). The provisions of paragraphs 
(9)(A), (31), and (33) and of section 1903(i)(4) shall not 
apply to a religious nonmedical health care institution (as 
defined in section 1861(ss)(1)).
For purposes of paragraph (10) any individual who, for the 
month of August 1972, was eligible for or receiving aid or 
assistance under a State plan approved under title I, X, XIV, 
or XVI, or part A of title IV and who for such month was 
entitled to monthly insurance benefits under title II shall for 
purposes of this title only be deemed to be eligible for 
financial aid or assistance for any month thereafter if such 
individual would have been eligible for financial aid or 
assistance for such month had the increase in monthly insurance 
benefits under title II resulting from enactment of Public Law 
92-336 not been applicable to such individual.
The requirement of clause (A) of paragraph (37) with respect to 
a State plan may be waived by the Secretary if he finds that 
the State has exercised good faith in trying to meet such 
requirement. For purposes of this title, any child who meets 
the requirements of paragraph (1) or (2) of section 473(b) 
shall be deemed to be a dependent child as defined in section 
406 and shall be deemed to be a recipient of aid to families 
with dependent children under part A of title IV in the State 
where such child resides. Notwithstanding paragraph (10)(B) or 
any other provision of this subsection, a State plan shall 
provide medical assistance with respect to an alien who is not 
lawfully admitted for permanent residence or otherwise 
permanently residing in the United States under color of law 
only in accordance with section 1903(v).
  (b) The Secretary shall approve any plan which fulfills the 
conditions specified in subsection (a) of this section, except 
that he shall not approve any plan which imposes, as a 
condition of eligibility for medical assistance under the 
plan--
          (1) an age requirement of more than 65 years; or
          (2) any residence requirement which excludes any 
        individual who resides in the State, regardless of 
        whether or not the residence is maintained permanently 
        or at a fixed address; or
          (3) any citizenship requirement which excludes any 
        citizen of the United States.
  (c) Notwithstanding subsection (b), the Secretary shall not 
approve any State plan for medical assistance if the State 
requires individuals described in subsection (l)(1) to apply 
for assistance under the State program funded under part A of 
title IV as a condition of applying for or receiving medical 
assistance under this title.
  (d) If a State contracts with an entity which meets the 
requirements of section 1152, as determined by the Secretary, 
or a utilization and quality control peer review organization 
having a contract with the Secretary under part B of title XI 
for the performance of medical or utilization review functions 
(including quality review functions described in subsection 
(a)(30)(C)) required under this title of a State plan with 
respect to specific services or providers (or services or 
providers in a geographic area of the State), such requirements 
shall be deemed to be met for those services or providers (or 
services or providers in that area) by delegation to such an 
entity or organization under the contract of the State's 
authority to conduct such review activities if the contract 
provides for the performance of activities not inconsistent 
with part B of title XI and provides for such assurances of 
satisfactory performance by such an entity or organization as 
the Secretary may prescribe.
  (e)(1) Beginning April 1, 1990, for provisions relating to 
the extension of eligibility for medical assistance for certain 
families who have received aid pursuant to a State plan 
approved under part A of title IV and have earned income, see 
section 1925.
  (2)(A) In the case of an individual who is enrolled with a 
medicaid managed care organization (as defined in section 
1903(m)(1)(A)), with a primary care case manager (as defined in 
section 1905(t)), or with an eligible organization with a 
contract under section 1876 and who would (but for this 
paragraph) lose eligibility for benefits under this title 
before the end of the minimum enrollment period (defined in 
subparagraph (B)), the State plan may provide, notwithstanding 
any other provision of this title, that the individual shall be 
deemed to continue to be eligible for such benefits until the 
end of such minimum period, but, except for benefits furnished 
under section 1905(a)(4)(C), only with respect to such benefits 
provided to the individual as an enrollee of such organization 
or entity or by or through the case manager.
  (B) For purposes of subparagraph (A), the term ``minimum 
enrollment period'' means, with respect to an individual's 
enrollment with an organization or entity under a State plan, a 
period, established by the State, of not more than six months 
beginning on the date the individual's enrollment with the 
organization or entity becomes effective.
  (3) At the option of the State, any individual who--
          (A) is 18 years of age or younger and qualifies as a 
        disabled individual under section 1614(a);
          (B) with respect to whom there has been a 
        determination by the State that--
                  (i) the individual requires a level of care 
                provided in a hospital, nursing facility, or 
                intermediate care facility for the mentally 
                retarded,
                  (ii) it is appropriate to provide such care 
                for the individual outside such an institution, 
                and
                  (iii) the estimated amount which would be 
                expended for medical assistance for the 
                individual for such care outside an institution 
                is not greater than the estimated amount which 
                would otherwise be expended for medical 
                assistance for the individual within an 
                appropriate institution; and
          (C) if the individual were in a medical institution, 
        would be eligible for medical assistance under the 
        State plan under this title,
        shall be deemed, for purposes of this title only, to be 
        an individual with respect to whom a supplemental 
        security income payment, or State supplemental payment, 
        respectively, is being paid under title XVI.
  (4) A child born to a woman eligible for and receiving 
medical assistance under a State plan on the date of the 
child's birth shall be deemed to have applied for medical 
assistance and to have been found eligible for such assistance 
under such plan on the date of such birth and to remain 
eligible for such assistance for a period of one year. During 
the period in which a child is deemed under the preceding 
sentence to be eligible for medical assistance, the medical 
assistance eligibility identification number of the mother 
shall also serve as the identification number of the child, and 
all claims shall be submitted and paid under such number 
(unless the State issues a separate identification number for 
the child before such period expires). Notwithstanding the 
preceding sentence, in the case of a child who is born in the 
United States to an alien mother for whom medical assistance 
for the delivery of the child is made available pursuant to 
section 1903(v), the State immediately shall issue a separate 
identification number for the child upon notification by the 
facility at which such delivery occurred of the child's birth.
  (5) A woman who, while pregnant, is eligible for, has applied 
for, and has received medical assistance under the State plan, 
shall continue to be eligible under the plan, as though she 
were pregnant, for all pregnancy-related and postpartum medical 
assistance under the plan, through the end of the month in 
which the 60-day period (beginning on the last day of her 
pregnancy) ends.
  (6) In the case of a pregnant woman described in subsection 
(a)(10) who, because of a change in income of the family of 
which she is a member, would not otherwise continue to be 
described in such subsection, the woman shall be deemed to 
continue to be an individual described in subsection 
(a)(10)(A)(i)(IV) and subsection (l)(1)(A) without regard to 
such change of income through the end of the month in which the 
60-day period (beginning on the last day of her pregnancy) 
ends. The preceding sentence shall not apply in the case of a 
woman who has been provided ambulatory prenatal care pursuant 
to section 1920 during a presumptive eligibility period and is 
then, in accordance with such section, determined to be 
ineligible for medical assistance under the State plan.
  (7) In the case of an infant or child described in 
subparagraph (B), (C), or (D) of subsection (l)(1) or paragraph 
(2) of section 1905(n)--
          (A) who is receiving inpatient services for which 
        medical assistance is provided on the date the infant 
        or child attains the maximum age with respect to which 
        coverage is provided under the State plan for such 
        individuals, and
          (B) who, but for attaining such age, would remain 
        eligible for medical assistance under such subsection,
the infant or child shall continue to be treated as an 
individual described in such respective provision until the end 
of the stay for which the inpatient services are furnished.
  (8) If an individual is determined to be a qualified medicare 
beneficiary (as defined in section 1905(p)(1)), such 
determination shall apply to services furnished after the end 
of the month in which the determination first occurs. For 
purposes of payment to a State under section 1903(a), such 
determination shall be considered to be valid for an individual 
for a period of 12 months, except that a State may provide for 
such determinations more frequently, but not more frequently 
than once every 6 months for an individual.
  (9)(A) At the option of the State, the plan may include as 
medical assistance respiratory care services for any individual 
who--
          (i) is medically dependent on a ventilator for life 
        support at least six hours per day;
          (ii) has been so dependent for at least 30 
        consecutive days (or the maximum number of days 
        authorized under the State plan, whichever is less) as 
        an inpatient;
          (iii) but for the availability of respiratory care 
        services, would require respiratory care as an 
        inpatient in a hospital, nursing facility, or 
        intermediate care facility for the mentally retarded 
        and would be eligible to have payment made for such 
        inpatient care under the State plan;
          (iv) has adequate social support services to be cared 
        for at home; and
          (v) wishes to be cared for at home.
  (B) The requirements of subparagraph (A)(ii) may be satisfied 
by a continuous stay in one or more hospitals, nursing 
facilities, or intermediate care facilities for the mentally 
retarded.
  (C) For purposes of this paragraph, respiratory care services 
means services provided on a part-time basis in the home of the 
individual by a respiratory therapist or other health care 
professional trained in respiratory therapy (as determined by 
the State), payment for which is not otherwise included within 
other items and services furnished to such individual as 
medical assistance under the plan.
  (10)(A) The fact that an individual, child, or pregnant woman 
may be denied aid under part A of title IV pursuant to section 
402(a)(43) shall not be construed as denying (or permitting a 
State to deny) medical assistance under this title to such 
individual, child, or woman who is eligible for assistance 
under this title on a basis other than the receipt of aid under 
such part.
  (B) If an individual, child, or pregnant woman is receiving 
aid under part A of title IV and such aid is terminated 
pursuant to section 402(a)(43), the State may not discontinue 
medical assistance under this title for the individual, child, 
or woman until the State has determined that the individual, 
child, or woman is not eligible for assistance under this title 
on a basis other than the receipt of aid under such part.
  (11)(A) In the case of an individual who is enrolled with a 
group health plan under section 1906 and who would (but for 
this paragraph) lose eligibility for benefits under this title 
before the end of the minimum enrollment period (defined in 
subparagraph (B)), the State plan may provide, notwithstanding 
any other provision of this title, that the individual shall be 
deemed to continue to be eligible for such benefits until the 
end of such minimum period, but only with respect to such 
benefits provided to the individual as an enrollee of such 
plan.
  (B) For purposes of subparagraph (A), the term ``minimum 
enrollment period'' means, with respect to an individual's 
enrollment with a group health plan, a period established by 
the State, of not more than 6 months beginning on the date the 
individual's enrollment under the plan becomes effective.
  (12) At the option of the State, the plan may provide that an 
individual who is under an age specified by the State (not to 
exceed 19 years of age) and who is determined to be eligible 
for benefits under a State plan approved under this title under 
subsection (a)(10)(A) shall remain eligible for those benefits 
until the earlier of--
          (A) the end of a period (not to exceed 12 months) 
        following the determination; or
          (B) the time that the individual exceeds that age.
  (13) Express Lane Option.--
          (A) In general.--
                  (i) Option to use a finding from an express 
                lane agency.--At the option of the State, the 
                State plan may provide that in determining 
                eligibility under this title for a child (as 
                defined in subparagraph (G)), the State may 
                rely on a finding made within a reasonable 
                period (as determined by the State) from an 
                Express Lane agency (as defined in subparagraph 
                (F)) when it determines whether a child 
                satisfies one or more components of eligibility 
                for medical assistance under this title. The 
                State may rely on a finding from an Express 
                Lane agency notwithstanding sections 
                1902(a)(46)(B) and 1137(d) or any differences 
                in budget unit, disregard, deeming or other 
                methodology, if the following requirements are 
                met:
                          (I) Prohibition on determining 
                        children ineligible for coverage.--If a 
                        finding from an Express Lane agency 
                        would result in a determination that a 
                        child does not satisfy an eligibility 
                        requirement for medical assistance 
                        under this title and for child health 
                        assistance under title XXI, the State 
                        shall determine eligibility for 
                        assistance using its regular 
                        procedures.
                          (II) Notice requirement.--For any 
                        child who is found eligible for medical 
                        assistance under the State plan under 
                        this title or child health assistance 
                        under title XXI and who is subject to 
                        premiums based on an Express Lane 
                        agency's finding of such child's income 
                        level, the State shall provide notice 
                        that the child may qualify for lower 
                        premium payments if evaluated by the 
                        State using its regular policies and of 
                        the procedures for requesting such an 
                        evaluation.
                          (III) Compliance with screen and 
                        enroll requirement.--The State shall 
                        satisfy the requirements under 
                        subparagraphs (A) and (B) of section 
                        2102(b)(3) (relating to screen and 
                        enroll) before enrolling a child in 
                        child health assistance under title 
                        XXI. At its option, the State may 
                        fulfill such requirements in accordance 
                        with either option provided under 
                        subparagraph (C) of this paragraph.
                          (IV) Verification of citizenship or 
                        nationality status.--The State shall 
                        satisfy the requirements of section 
                        1902(a)(46)(B) or 2105(c)(9), as 
                        applicable for verifications of 
                        citizenship or nationality status.
                          (V) Coding.--The State meets the 
                        requirements of subparagraph (E).
                  (ii) Option to apply to renewals and 
                redeterminations.--The State may apply the 
                provisions of this paragraph when conducting 
                initial determinations of eligibility, 
                redeterminations of eligibility, or both, as 
                described in the State plan.
          (B) Rules of construction.--Nothing in this paragraph 
        shall be construed--
                  (i) to limit or prohibit a State from taking 
                any actions otherwise permitted under this 
                title or title XXI in determining eligibility 
                for or enrolling children into medical 
                assistance under this title or child health 
                assistance under title XXI; or
                  (ii) to modify the limitations in section 
                1902(a)(5) concerning the agencies that may 
                make a determination of eligibility for medical 
                assistance under this title.
          (C) Options for satisfying the screen and enroll 
        requirement.--
                  (i) In general.--With respect to a child 
                whose eligibility for medical assistance under 
                this title or for child health assistance under 
                title XXI has been evaluated by a State agency 
                using an income finding from an Express Lane 
                agency, a State may carry out its duties under 
                subparagraphs (A) and (B) of section 2102(b)(3) 
                (relating to screen and enroll) in accordance 
                with either clause (ii) or clause (iii).
                  (ii) Establishing a screening threshold.--
                          (I) In general.--Under this clause, 
                        the State establishes a screening 
                        threshold set as a percentage of the 
                        Federal poverty level that exceeds the 
                        highest income threshold applicable 
                        under this title to the child by a 
                        minimum of 30 percentage points or, at 
                        State option, a higher number of 
                        percentage points that reflects the 
                        value (as determined by the State and 
                        described in the State plan) of any 
                        differences between income 
                        methodologies used by the program 
                        administered by the Express Lane agency 
                        and the methodologies used by the State 
                        in determining eligibility for medical 
                        assistance under this title.
                          (II) Children with income not above 
                        threshold.--If the income of a child 
                        does not exceed the screening 
                        threshold, the child is deemed to 
                        satisfy the income eligibility criteria 
                        for medical assistance under this title 
                        regardless of whether such child would 
                        otherwise satisfy such criteria.
                          (III) Children with income above 
                        threshold.--If the income of a child 
                        exceeds the screening threshold, the 
                        child shall be considered to have an 
                        income above the Medicaid applicable 
                        income level described in section 
                        2110(b)(4) and to satisfy the 
                        requirement under section 2110(b)(1)(C) 
                        (relating to the requirement that CHIP 
                        matching funds be used only for 
                        children not eligible for Medicaid). If 
                        such a child is enrolled in child 
                        health assistance under title XXI, the 
                        State shall provide the parent, 
                        guardian, or custodial relative with 
                        the following:
                                  (aa) Notice that the child 
                                may be eligible to receive 
                                medical assistance under the 
                                State plan under this title if 
                                evaluated for such assistance 
                                under the State's regular 
                                procedures and notice of the 
                                process through which a parent, 
                                guardian, or custodial relative 
                                can request that the State 
                                evaluate the child's 
                                eligibility for medical 
                                assistance under this title 
                                using such regular procedures.
                                  (bb) A description of 
                                differences between the medical 
                                assistance provided under this 
                                title and child health 
                                assistance under title XXI, 
                                including differences in cost-
                                sharing requirements and 
                                covered benefits.
                  (iii) Temporary enrollment in chip pending 
                screen and enroll.--
                          (I) In general.--Under this clause, a 
                        State enrolls a child in child health 
                        assistance under title XXI for a 
                        temporary period if the child appears 
                        eligible for such assistance based on 
                        an income finding by an Express Lane 
                        agency.
                          (II) Determination of eligibility.--
                        During such temporary enrollment 
                        period, the State shall determine the 
                        child's eligibility for child health 
                        assistance under title XXI or for 
                        medical assistance under this title in 
                        accordance with this clause.
                          (III) Prompt follow up.--In making 
                        such a determination, the State shall 
                        take prompt action to determine whether 
                        the child should be enrolled in medical 
                        assistance under this title or child 
                        health assistance under title XXI 
                        pursuant to subparagraphs (A) and (B) 
                        of section 2102(b)(3) (relating to 
                        screen and enroll).
                          (IV) Requirement for simplified 
                        determination.--In making such a 
                        determination, the State shall use 
                        procedures that, to the maximum 
                        feasible extent, reduce the burden 
                        imposed on the individual of such 
                        determination. Such procedures may not 
                        require the child's parent, guardian, 
                        or custodial relative to provide or 
                        verify information that already has 
                        been provided to the State agency by an 
                        Express Lane agency or another source 
                        of information unless the State agency 
                        has reason to believe the information 
                        is erroneous.
                          (V) Availability of chip matching 
                        funds during temporary enrollment 
                        period.--Medical assistance for items 
                        and services that are provided to a 
                        child enrolled in title XXI during a 
                        temporary enrollment period under this 
                        clause shall be treated as child health 
                        assistance under such title.
          (D) Option for automatic enrollment.--
                  (i) In general.--The State may initiate and 
                determine eligibility for medical assistance 
                under the State Medicaid plan or for child 
                health assistance under the State CHIP plan 
                without a program application from, or on 
                behalf of, the child based on data obtained 
                from sources other than the child (or the 
                child's family), but a child can only be 
                automatically enrolled in the State Medicaid 
                plan or the State CHIP plan if the child or the 
                family affirmatively consents to being enrolled 
                through affirmation in writing, by telephone, 
                orally, through electronic signature, or 
                through any other means specified by the 
                Secretary or by signature on an Express Lane 
                agency application, if the requirement of 
                clause (ii) is met.
                  (ii) Information requirement.--The 
                requirement of this clause is that the State 
                informs the parent, guardian, or custodial 
                relative of the child of the services that will 
                be covered, appropriate methods for using such 
                services, premium or other cost sharing charges 
                (if any) that apply, medical support 
                obligations (under section 1912(a)) created by 
                enrollment (if applicable), and the actions the 
                parent, guardian, or relative must take to 
                maintain enrollment and renew coverage.
          (E) Coding; application to enrollment error rates.--
                  (i) In general.--For purposes of subparagraph 
                (A)(iv), the requirement of this subparagraph 
                for a State is that the State agrees to--
                          (I) assign such codes as the 
                        Secretary shall require to the children 
                        who are enrolled in the State Medicaid 
                        plan or the State CHIP plan through 
                        reliance on a finding made by an 
                        Express Lane agency for the duration of 
                        the State's election under this 
                        paragraph;
                          (II) annually provide the Secretary 
                        with a statistically valid sample (that 
                        is approved by Secretary) of the 
                        children enrolled in such plans through 
                        reliance on such a finding by 
                        conducting a full Medicaid eligibility 
                        review of the children identified for 
                        such sample for purposes of determining 
                        an eligibility error rate (as described 
                        in clause (iv)) with respect to the 
                        enrollment of such children (and shall 
                        not include such children in any data 
                        or samples used for purposes of 
                        complying with a Medicaid Eligibility 
                        Quality Control (MEQC) review or a 
                        payment error rate measurement (PERM) 
                        requirement);
                          (III) submit the error rate 
                        determined under subclause (II) to the 
                        Secretary;
                          (IV) if such error rate exceeds 3 
                        percent for either of the first 2 
                        fiscal years in which the State elects 
                        to apply this paragraph, demonstrate to 
                        the satisfaction of the Secretary the 
                        specific corrective actions implemented 
                        by the State to improve upon such error 
                        rate; and
                          (V) if such error rate exceeds 3 
                        percent for any fiscal year in which 
                        the State elects to apply this 
                        paragraph, a reduction in the amount 
                        otherwise payable to the State under 
                        section 1903(a) for quarters for that 
                        fiscal year, equal to the total amount 
                        of erroneous excess payments determined 
                        for the fiscal year only with respect 
                        to the children included in the sample 
                        for the fiscal year that are in excess 
                        of a 3 percent error rate with respect 
                        to such children.
                  (ii) No punitive action based on error 
                rate.--The Secretary shall not apply the error 
                rate derived from the sample under clause (i) 
                to the entire population of children enrolled 
                in the State Medicaid plan or the State CHIP 
                plan through reliance on a finding made by an 
                Express Lane agency, or to the population of 
                children enrolled in such plans on the basis of 
                the State's regular procedures for determining 
                eligibility, or penalize the State on the basis 
                of such error rate in any manner other than the 
                reduction of payments provided for under clause 
                (i)(V).
                  (iii) Rule of construction.--Nothing in this 
                paragraph shall be construed as relieving a 
                State that elects to apply this paragraph from 
                being subject to a penalty under section 
                1903(u), for payments made under the State 
                Medicaid plan with respect to ineligible 
                individuals and families that are determined to 
                exceed the error rate permitted under that 
                section (as determined without regard to the 
                error rate determined under clause (i)(II)).
                  (iv) Error rate defined.--In this 
                subparagraph, the term ``error rate'' means the 
                rate of erroneous excess payments for medical 
                assistance (as defined in section 
                1903(u)(1)(D)) for the period involved, except 
                that such payments shall be limited to 
                individuals for which eligibility 
                determinations are made under this paragraph 
                and except that in applying this paragraph 
                under title XXI, there shall be substituted for 
                references to provisions of this title 
                corresponding provisions within title XXI.
          (F) Express lane agency.--

                ``Express Lane agency'' means a public agency

                                shall be disclosed in

                                  (bb) that the information 
                                disclosed will be used solely 
                                for purposes of determining 
                                eligibility for medical 
                                assistance under the State

                plan or under a waiver of the plan on the date

                  (C) No assets test.--A State shall not apply 
                any assets or resources test for purposes of 
                determining eligibility for medical assistance 
                under the State plan or under a waiver of the 
                plan.

                        individuals, and individuals eligible

                for medical assistance under the State plan or 
                under a waiver of the plan on the date of

                for any other purpose applicable under the plan 
                or waiver for which a determination of income 
                is required shall not be construed as affecting 
                or limiting the application of--
                          (i) the requirement under this title 
                        and under the State plan or a waiver of 
                        the plan to determine an individual's 
                        income as of the point in time at which 
                        an application for medical assistance 
                        under the State plan or a waiver of the 
                        plan is processed; or

                        title or under the State plan or a 
                        waiver of the plan regarding sources of 
                        countable income.
                  (I) Treatment of portion of modified adjusted 
                gross income.--For purposes of determining the 
                income eligibility of an individual for medical 
                assistance whose eligibility is determined 
                based on the application of modified adjusted 
                gross income under subparagraph (A), the State 
                shall--
                          (i) determine the dollar equivalent 
                        of the difference between the upper 
                        income limit on eligibility for such an 
                        individual (expressed as a percentage 
                        of the poverty line) and such upper 
                        income limit increased by 5 percentage 
                        points; and
                          (ii) notwithstanding the requirement 
                        in subparagraph (A) with respect to use 
                        of modified adjusted gross income, 
                        utilize as the applicable income of 
                        such individual, in determining such 
                        income eligibility, an amount equal to 
                        the modified adjusted gross income 
                        applicable to such individual reduced 
                        by such dollar equivalent amount.
                  (J) Exclusion of parent mentor compensation 
                from income determination.--Any nominal amount 
                received by an individual as compensation, 
                including a stipend, for participation as a 
                parent mentor (as defined in paragraph (5) of 
                section 2113(f)) in an activity or program 
                funded through a grant under such section shall 
                be disregarded for purposes of determining the 
                income eligibility of such individual for 
                medical assistance under the State plan or any 
                waiver of such plan.
                  (K) Treatment of certain lottery winnings and 
                income received as a lump sum.--
                          (i) In general.--In the case of an 
                        individual who is the recipient of 
                        qualified lottery winnings (pursuant to 
                        lotteries occurring on or after January 
                        1, 2018) or qualified lump sum income 
                        (received on or after such date) and 
                        whose eligibility for medical 
                        assistance is determined based on the 
                        application of modified adjusted gross 
                        income under subparagraph (A), a State

                                applicable) is received if the 
                                amount of such winnings or 
                                income is less than $80,000;

                                months if the amount of such 
                                winnings or income (as 
                                applicable) is greater than or 
                                equal to $90,000 but less than

                                months plus 1 additional month 
                                for each increment of $10,000 
                                of such winnings or income (as 
                                applicable) received, not to 
                                exceed a period of 120 months 
                                (for winnings or income of 
                                $1,260,000 or more), if the 
                                amount of such winnings or 
                                income is greater than or equal 
                                to $100,000.
                          (ii) Counting in equal 
                        installments.--For purposes of 
                        subclauses (II), (III), and (IV) of 
                        clause (i), winnings or income to which 
                        such subclause applies shall be counted 
                        in equal monthly installments over the 
                        period of months specified under such 
                        subclause.

                        individual whose income, by application 
                        of clause (i), exceeds the applicable 
                        eligibility threshold established by 
                        the State, shall continue to be 
                        eligible for medical assistance to the 
                        extent that the State determines, under 
                        procedures established by the State (in 
                        accordance with standards specified by 
                        the Secretary), that the denial of 
                        eligibility of the individual would 
                        cause an undue medical or financial 
                        hardship as determined on the basis of 
                        criteria established by the Secretary.
                          (iv) Notifications and assistance 
                        required in case of loss of 
                        eligibility.--A State shall, with 
                        respect to an individual who loses 
                        eligibility for medical assistance 
                        under the State plan (or a waiver of 
                        such plan) by reason of clause (i)--
                                  (I) before the date on which 
                                the individual loses such 
                                eligibility, inform the 
                                individual--
                                          (aa) of the 
                                        individual's 
                                        opportunity to enroll 
                                        in a qualified health 
                                        plan offered through an 
                                        Exchange established 
                                        under title I of the 
                                        Patient Protection and 
                                        Affordable Care Act 
                                        during the special 
                                        enrollment period 
                                        specified in section 
                                        9801(f)(3) of the 
                                        Internal Revenue Code 
                                        of 1986 (relating to 
                                        loss of Medicaid or 
                                        CHIP coverage); and
                                          (bb) of the date on 
                                        which the individual 
                                        would no longer be 
                                        considered ineligible 
                                        by reason of clause (i) 
                                        to receive medical 
                                        assistance under the 
                                        State plan or under any 
                                        waiver of such plan and 
                                        be eligible to reapply 
                                        to receive such medical 
                                        assistance; and
                                  (II) provide technical 
                                assistance to the individual 
                                seeking to enroll in such a 
                                qualified health plan.
                          (v) Qualified lottery winnings 
                        defined.--In this subparagraph, the 
                        term ``qualified lottery winnings'' 
                        means winnings from a sweepstakes, 
                        lottery, or pool described in paragraph 
                        (3) of section 4402 of the Internal 
                        Revenue Code of 1986 or a lottery 
                        operated by a multistate or 
                        multijurisdictional lottery 
                        association, including amounts awarded 
                        as a lump sum payment.
                          (vi) Qualified lump sum income 
                        defined.--In this subparagraph, the 
                        term ``qualified lump sum income'' 
                        means income that is received as a lump 
                        sum from monetary winnings from 
                        gambling (as defined by the Secretary 
                        and including gambling activities 
                        described in section 1955(b)(4) of 
                        title 18, United States Code).
          (15) Exclusion of compensation for participation in a 
        clinical trial for testing of treatments for a rare 
        disease or condition.--The first $2,000 received by an 
        individual (who has attained 19 years of age) as 
        compensation for participation in a clinical trial 
        meeting the requirements of section 1612(b)(26) shall 
        be disregarded for purposes of determining the income 
        eligibility of such individual for medical assistance 
        under the State plan or any waiver of such plan.
  (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this title, except 
as provided in subsection (e) and section 1619(b)(3) and 
section 1924, except with respect to qualified disabled and 
working individuals (described in section 1905(s)), and except 
with respect to qualified medicare beneficiaries, qualified 
severely impaired individuals, and individuals described in 
subsection (m)(1), no State not eligible to participate in the 
State plan program established under title XVI shall be 
required to provide medical assistance to any aged, blind, or 
disabled individual (within the meaning of title XVI) for any 
month unless such State would be (or would have been) required 
to provide medical assistance to such individual for such month 
had its plan for medical assistance approved under this title 
and in effect on January 1, 1972, been in effect in such month, 
except that for this purpose any such individual shall be 
deemed eligible for medical assistance under such State plan if 
(in addition to meeting such other requirements as are or may 
be imposed under the State plan) the income of any such 
individual as determined in accordance with section 1903(f) 
(after deducting any supplemental security income payment and 
State supplementary payment made with respect to such 
individual, and incurred expenses for medical care as 
recognized under State law regardless of whether such expenses 
are reimbursed under another public program of the State or 
political subdivision thereof) is not in excess of the standard 
for medical assistance established under the State plan as in 
effect on January 1, 1972. In States which provide medical 
assistance to individuals pursuant to paragraph (10)(C) of 
subsection (a) of this section, an individual who is eligible 
for medical assistance by reason of the requirements of this 
section concerning the deduction of incurred medical expenses 
from income shall be considered an individual eligible for 
medical assistance under paragraph (10)(A) of that subsection 
if that individual is, or is eligible to be (1) an individual 
with respect to whom there is payable a State supplementary 
payment on the basis of which similarly situated individuals 
are eligible to receive medical assistance equal in amount, 
duration, and scope to that provided to individuals eligible 
under paragraph (10)(A), or (2) an eligible individual or 
eligible spouse, as defined in title XVI, with respect to whom 
supplemental security income benefits are payable; otherwise 
that individual shall be considered to be an individual 
eligible for medical assistance under paragraph (10)(C) of that 
subsection. In States which do not provide medical assistance 
to individuals pursuant to paragraph (10)(C) of that 
subsection, an individual who is eligible for medical 
assistance by reason of the requirements of this section 
concerning the deduction of incurred medical expenses from 
income shall be considered an individual eligible for medical 
assistance under paragraph (10)(A) of that subsection.
  (g) In addition to any other sanction available to a State, a 
State may provide for a reduction of any payment amount 
otherwise due with respect to a person who furnishes services 
under the plan in an amount equal to up to three times the 
amount of any payment sought to be collected by that person in 
violation of subsection (a)(25)(C).
  (h) Nothing in this title (including subsections (a)(13) and 
(a)(30) of this section) shall be construed as authorizing the 
Secretary to limit the amount of payment that may be made under 
a plan under this title for home and community care.
  (i)(1) In addition to any other authority under State law, 
where a State determines that a intermediate care facility for 
the mentally retarded which is certified for participation 
under its plan no longer substantially meets the requirements 
for such a facility under this title and further determines 
that the facility's deficiencies--
          (A) immediately jeopardize the health and safety of 
        its patients, the State shall provide for the 
        termination of the facility's certification for 
        participation under the plan and may provide, or
          (B) do not immediately jeopardize the health and 
        safety of its patients, the State may, in lieu of 
        providing for terminating the facility's certification 
        for participation under the plan, establish alternative 
        remedies if the State demonstrates to the Secretary's 
        satisfaction that the alternative remedies are 
        effective in deterring noncompliance and correcting 
        deficiencies, and may provide
that no payment will be made under the State plan with respect 
to any individual admitted to such facility after a date 
specified by the State.
  (2) The State shall not make such a decision with respect to 
a facility until the facility has had a reasonable opportunity, 
following the initial determination that it no longer 
substantially meets the requirements for such a facility under 
this title, to correct its deficiencies, and, following this 
period, has been given reasonable notice and opportunity for a 
hearing.
  (3) The State's decision to deny payment may be made 
effective only after such notice to the public and to the 
facility as may be provided for by the State, and its 
effectiveness shall terminate (A) when the State finds that the 
facility is in substantial compliance (or is making good faith 
efforts to achieve substantial compliance) with the 
requirements for such a facility under this title, or (B) in 
the case described in paragraph (1)(B), with the end of the 
eleventh month following the month such decision is made 
effective, whichever occurs first. If a facility to which 
clause (B) of the previous sentence applies still fails to 
substantially meet the provisions of the respective section on 
the date specified in such clause, the State shall terminate 
such facility's certification for participation under the plan 
effective with the first day of the first month following the 
month specified in such clause.
  (j) Notwithstanding any other requirement of this title, the 
Secretary may waive or modify any requirement of this title 
with respect to the medical assistance program in American 
Samoa and the Northern Mariana Islands, other than a waiver of 
the Federal medical assistance percentage, the limitation in 
section 1108(f), or the requirement that payment may be made 
for medical assistance only with respect to amounts expended by 
American Samoa or the Northern Mariana Islands for care and 
services described in a numbered paragraph of section 1905(a).
  (k)(1) The medical assistance provided to an individual 
described in subclause (VIII) of subsection (a)(10)(A)(i) shall 
consist of benchmark coverage described in section 1937(b)(1) 
or benchmark equivalent coverage described in section 
1937(b)(2). Such medical assistance shall be provided subject 
to the requirements of section 1937, without regard to whether 
a State otherwise has elected the option to provide medical 
assistance through coverage under that section, unless an 
individual described in subclause (VIII) of subsection 
(a)(10)(A)(i) is also an individual for whom, under 
subparagraph (B) of section 1937(a)(2), the State may not 
require enrollment in benchmark coverage described in 
subsection (b)(1) of section 1937 or benchmark equivalent 
coverage described in subsection (b)(2) of that section.
  (2) Beginning with the first day of any fiscal year quarter 
that begins on or after April 1, 2010, and before January 1, 
2014, a State may elect through a State plan amendment to 
provide medical assistance to individuals who would be 
described in subclause (VIII) of subsection (a)(10)(A)(i) if 
that subclause were effective before January 1, 2014. A State 
may elect to phase-in the extension of eligibility for medical 
assistance to such individuals based on income, so long as the 
State does not extend such eligibility to individuals described 
in such subclause with higher income before making individuals 
described in such subclause with lower income eligible for 
medical assistance.
  (3) If an individual described in subclause (VIII) of 
subsection (a)(10)(A)(i) is the parent of a child who is under 
19 years of age (or such higher age as the State may have 
elected) who is eligible for medical assistance under the State 
plan or under a waiver of such plan (under that subclause or 
under a State plan amendment under paragraph (2), the 
individual may not be enrolled under the State plan unless the 
individual's child is enrolled under the State plan or under a 
waiver of the plan or is enrolled in other health insurance 
coverage. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the term 
``parent'' includes an individual treated as a caretaker 
relative for purposes of carrying out section 1931.
  (l)(1) Individuals described in this paragraph are--
          (A) women during pregnancy (and during the 60-day 
        period beginning on the last day of the pregnancy),
          (B) infants under one year of age,
          (C) children who have attained one year of age but 
        have not attained 6 years of age, and
          (D) children born after September 30, 1983 (or, at 
        the option of a State, after any earlier date), who 
        have attained 6 years of age but have not attained 19 
        years of age,
who are not described in any of subclauses (I) through (III) of 
subsection (a)(10)(A)(i) and whose family income does not 
exceed the income level established by the State under 
paragraph (2) for a family size equal to the size of the 
family, including the woman, infant, or child.
  (2)(A)(i) For purposes of paragraph (1) with respect to 
individuals described in subparagraph (A) or (B) of that 
paragraph, the State shall establish an income level which is a 
percentage (not less than the percentage provided under clause 
(ii) and not more than 185 percent) of the income official 
poverty line (as defined by the Office of Management and 
Budget, and revised annually in accordance with section 673(2) 
of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981) applicable to 
a family of the size involved.
  (ii) The percentage provided under this clause, with respect 
to eligibility for medical assistance on or after--
          (I) July 1, 1989, is 75 percent, or, if greater, the 
        percentage provided under clause (iii), and
          (II) April 1, 1990, 133 percent, or, if greater, the 
        percentage provided under clause (iv).
  (iii) In the case of a State which, as of the date of the 
enactment of this clause, has elected to provide, and provides, 
medical assistance to individuals described in this subsection 
or has enacted legislation authorizing, or appropriating funds, 
to provide such assistance to such individuals before July 1, 
1989, the percentage provided under clause (ii)(I) shall not be 
less than--
          (I) the percentage specified by the State in an 
        amendment to its State plan (whether approved or not) 
        as of the date of the enactment of this clause, or
          (II) if no such percentage is specified as of the 
        date of the enactment of this clause, the percentage 
        established under the State's authorizing legislation 
        or provided for under the State's appropriations;
but in no case shall this clause require the percentage 
provided under clause (ii)(I) to exceed 100 percent.
  (iv) In the case of a State which, as of the date of the 
enactment of this clause, has established under clause (i), or 
has enacted legislation authorizing, or appropriating funds, to 
provide for, a percentage (of the income official poverty line) 
that is greater than 133 percent, the percentage provided under 
clause (ii) for medical assistance on or after April 1, 1990, 
shall not be less than--
          (I) the percentage specified by the State in an 
        amendment to its State plan (whether approved or not) 
        as of the date of the enactment of this clause, or
          (II) if no such percentage is specified as of the 
        date of the enactment of this clause, the percentage 
        established under the State's authorizing legislation 
        or provided for under the State's appropriations.
  (B) For purposes of paragraph (1) with respect to individuals 
described in subparagraph (C) of such paragraph, the State 
shall establish an income level which is equal to 133 percent 
of the income official poverty line described in subparagraph 
(A) applicable to a family of the size involved.
  (C) For purposes of paragraph (1) with respect to individuals 
described in subparagraph (D) of that paragraph, the State 
shall establish an income level which is equal to 100 percent 
(or, beginning January 1, 2014, 133 percent) of the income 
official poverty line described in subparagraph (A) applicable 
to a family of the size involved.
  (3) Notwithstanding subsection (a)(17), for individuals who 
are eligible for medical assistance because of subsection 
(a)(10)(A)(i)(IV), (a)(10)(A)(i)(VI), (a)(10)(A)(i)(VII), or 
(a)(10)(A)(ii)(IX)--
          (A) application of a resource standard shall be at 
        the option of the State;
          (B) any resource standard or methodology that is 
        applied with respect to an individual described in 
        subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1) may not be more 
        restrictive than the resource standard or methodology 
        that is applied under title XVI;
          (C) any resource standard or methodology that is 
        applied with respect to an individual described in 
        subparagraph (B), (C), or (D) of paragraph (1) may not 
        be more restrictive than the corresponding methodology 
        that is applied under the State plan under part A of 
        title IV;
          (D) the income standard to be applied is the 
        appropriate income standard established under paragraph 
        (2); and
          (E) family income shall be determined in accordance 
        with the methodology employed under the State plan 
        under part A or E of title IV (except to the extent 
        such methodology is inconsistent with clause (D) of 
        subsection (a)(17)), and costs incurred for medical 
        care or for any other type of remedial care shall not 
        be taken into account.
Any different treatment provided under this paragraph for such 
individuals shall not, because of subsection (a)(17), require 
or permit such treatment for other individuals.
  (4)(A) In the case of any State which is providing medical 
assistance to its residents under a waiver granted under 
section 1115, the Secretary shall require the State to provide 
medical assistance for pregnant women and infants under age 1 
described in subsection (a)(10)(A)(i)(IV) and for children 
described in subsection (a)(10)(A)(i)(VI) or subsection 
(a)(10)(A)(i)(VII) in the same manner as the State would be 
required to provide such assistance for such individuals if the 
State had in effect a plan approved under this title.
  (B) In the case of a State which is not one of the 50 States 
or the District of Columbia, the State need not meet the 
requirement of subsection (a)(10)(A)(i)(IV), (a)(10)(A)(i)(VI), 
or (a)(10)(A)(i)(VII) and, for purposes of paragraph (2)(A), 
the State may substitute for the percentage provided under 
clause (ii) of such paragraph any percentage.
  (m)(1) Individuals described in this paragraph are 
individuals--
          (A) who are 65 years of age or older or are disabled 
        individuals (as determined under section 1614(a)(3)),
          (B) whose income (as determined under section 1612 
        for purposes of the supplemental security income 
        program, except as provided in paragraph (2)(C)) does 
        not exceed an income level established by the State 
        consistent with paragraph (2)(A), and
          (C) whose resources (as determined under section 1613 
        for purposes of the supplemental security income 
        program) do not exceed (except as provided in paragraph 
        (2)(B)) the maximum amount of resources that an 
        individual may have and obtain benefits under that 
        program.
  (2)(A) The income level established under paragraph (1)(B) 
may not exceed a percentage (not more than 100 percent) of the 
official poverty line (as defined by the Office of Management 
and Budget, and revised annually in accordance with section 
673(2) of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981) 
applicable to a family of the size involved.
  (B) In the case of a State that provides medical assistance 
to individuals not described in subsection (a)(10)(A) and at 
the State's option, the State may use under paragraph (1)(C) 
such resource level (which is higher than the level described 
in that paragraph) as may be applicable with respect to 
individuals described in paragraph (1)(A) who are not described 
in subsection (a)(10)(A).
  (C) The provisions of section 1905(p)(2)(D) shall apply to 
determinations of income under this subsection in the same 
manner as they apply to determinations of income under section 
1905(p).
  (3) Notwithstanding subsection (a)(17), for individuals 
described in paragraph (1) who are covered under the State plan 
by virtue of subsection (a)(10)(A)(ii)(X)--
          (A) the income standard to be applied is the income 
        standard described in paragraph (1)(B), and
          (B) except as provided in section 1612(b)(4)(B)(ii), 
        costs incurred for medical care or for any other type 
        of remedial care shall not be taken into account in 
        determining income.
Any different treatment provided under this paragraph for such 
individuals shall not, because of subsection (a)(17), require 
or permit such treatment for other individuals.
  (4) Notwithstanding subsection (a)(17), for qualified 
medicare beneficiaries described in section 1905(p)(1)--
          (A) the income standard to be applied is the income 
        standard described in section 1905(p)(1)(B), and
          (B) except as provided in section 1612(b)(4)(B)(ii), 
        costs incurred for medical care or for any other type 
        of remedial care shall not be taken into account in 
        determining income.
Any different treatment provided under this paragraph for such 
individuals shall not, because of subsection (a)(17), require 
or permit such treatment for other individuals.
  (n)(1) In the case of medical assistance furnished under this 
title for medicare cost-sharing respecting the furnishing of a 
service or item to a qualified medicare beneficiary, the State 
plan may provide payment in an amount with respect to the 
service or item that results in the sum of such payment amount 
and any amount of payment made under title XVIII with respect 
to the service or item exceeding the amount that is otherwise 
payable under the State plan for the item or service for 
eligible individuals who are not qualified medicare 
beneficiaries.
  (2) In carrying out paragraph (1), a State is not required to 
provide any payment for any expenses incurred relating to 
payment for deductibles, coinsurance, or copayments for 
medicare cost-sharing to the extent that payment under title 
XVIII for the service would exceed the payment amount that 
otherwise would be made under the State plan under this title 
for such service if provided to an eligible recipient other 
than a medicare beneficiary.
  (3) In the case in which a State's payment for medicare cost-
sharing for a qualified medicare beneficiary with respect to an 
item or service is reduced or eliminated through the 
application of paragraph (2)--
          (A) for purposes of applying any limitation under 
        title XVIII on the amount that the beneficiary may be 
        billed or charged for the service, the amount of 
        payment made under title XVIII plus the amount of 
        payment (if any) under the State plan shall be 
        considered to be payment in full for the service;
          (B) the beneficiary shall not have any legal 
        liability to make payment to a provider or to an 
        organization described in section 1903(m)(1)(A) for the 
        service; and
          (C) any lawful sanction that may be imposed upon a 
        provider or such an organization for excess charges 
        under this title or title XVIII shall apply to the 
        imposition of any charge imposed upon the individual in 
        such case.
This paragraph shall not be construed as preventing payment of 
any medicare cost-sharing by a medicare supplemental policy or 
an employer retiree health plan on behalf of an individual.
  (o) Notwithstanding any provision of subsection (a) to the 
contrary, a State plan under this title shall provide that any 
supplemental security income benefits paid by reason of 
subparagraph (E) or (G) of section 1611(e)(1) to an individual 
who--
          (1) is eligible for medical assistance under the 
        plan, and
          (2) is in a hospital, skilled nursing facility, or 
        intermediate care facility at the time such benefits 
        are paid,
will be disregarded for purposes of determining the amount of 
any post-eligibility contribution by the individual to the cost 
of the care and services provided by the hospital, skilled 
nursing facility, or intermediate care facility.
  (p)(1) In addition to any other authority, a State may 
exclude any individual or entity for purposes of participating 
under the State plan under this title for any reason for which 
the Secretary could exclude the individual or entity from 
participation in a program under title XVIII under section 
1128, 1128A, or 1866(b)(2).
  (2) In order for a State to receive payments for medical 
assistance under section 1903(a), with respect to payments the 
State makes to a medicaid managed care organization (as defined 
in section 1903(m)) or to an entity furnishing services under a 
waiver approved under section 1915(b)(1), the State must 
provide that it will exclude from participation, as such an 
organization or entity, any organization or entity that--
          (A) could be excluded under section 1128(b)(8) 
        (relating to owners and managing employees who have 
        been convicted of certain crimes or received other 
        sanctions),
          (B) has, directly or indirectly, a substantial 
        contractual relationship (as defined by the Secretary) 
        with an individual or entity that is described in 
        section 1128(b)(8)(B), or
          (C) employs or contracts with any individual or 
        entity that is excluded from participation under this 
        title under section 1128 or 1128A for the provision of 
        health care, utilization review, medical social work, 
        or administrative services or employs or contracts with 
        any entity for the provision (directly or indirectly) 
        through such an excluded individual or entity of such 
        services.
  (3) As used in this subsection, the term ``exclude'' includes 
the refusal to enter into or renew a participation agreement or 
the termination of such an agreement.
  (q)(1)(A) In order to meet the requirement of subsection 
(a)(50), the State plan must provide that, in the case of an 
institutionalized individual or couple described in 
subparagraph (B), in determining the amount of the individual's 
or couple's income to be applied monthly to payment for the 
cost of care in an institution, there shall be deducted from 
the monthly income (in addition to other allowances otherwise 
provided under the State plan) a monthly personal needs 
allowance--
          (i) which is reasonable in amount for clothing and 
        other personal needs of the individual (or couple) 
        while in an institution, and
          (ii) which is not less (and may be greater) than the 
        minimum monthly personal needs allowance described in 
        paragraph (2).
  (B) In this subsection, the term ``institutionalized 
individual or couple'' means an individual or married couple--
          (i) who is an inpatient (or who are inpatients) in a 
        medical institution or nursing facility for which 
        payments are made under this title throughout a month, 
        and
          (ii) who is or are determined to be eligible for 
        medical assistance under the State plan.
  (2) The minimum monthly personal needs allowance described in 
this paragraph is $30 for an institutionalized individual and 
$60 for an institutionalized couple (if both are aged, blind, 
or disabled, and their incomes are considered available to each 
other in determining eligibility).
  (r)(1)(A) For purposes of sections 1902(a)(17) and 
1924(d)(1)(D) and for purposes of a waiver under section 1915, 
with respect to the post-eligibility treatment of income of 
individuals who are institutionalized or receiving home or 
community-based services under such a waiver, the treatment 
described in subparagraph (B) shall apply, there shall be 
disregarded reparation payments made by the Federal Republic of 
Germany, and there shall be taken into account amounts for 
incurred expenses for medical or remedial care that are not 
subject to payment by a third party, including--
          (i) medicare and other health insurance premiums, 
        deductibles, or coinsurance, and
          (ii) necessary medical or remedial care recognized 
        under State law but not covered under the State plan 
        under this title, subject to reasonable limits the 
        State may establish on the amount of these expenses.
  (B)(i) In the case of a veteran who does not have a spouse or 
a child, if the veteran--
          (I) receives, after the veteran has been determined 
        to be eligible for medical assistance under the State 
        plan under this title, a veteran's pension in excess of 
        $90 per month, and
          (II) resides in a State veterans home with respect to 
        which the Secretary of Veterans Affairs makes per diem 
        payments for nursing home care pursuant to section 
        1741(a) of title 38, United States Code,
any such pension payment, including any payment made due to the 
need for aid and attendance, or for unreimbursed medical 
expenses, that is in excess of $90 per month shall be counted 
as income only for the purpose of applying such excess payment 
to the State veterans home's cost of providing nursing home 
care to the veteran.
  (ii) The provisions of clause (i) shall apply with respect to 
a surviving spouse of a veteran who does not have a child in 
the same manner as they apply to a veteran described in such 
clause.
  (2)(A) The methodology to be employed in determining income 
and resource eligibility for individuals under subsection 
(a)(10)(A)(i)(III), (a)(10)(A)(i)(IV), (a)(10)(A)(i)(VI), 
(a)(10)(A)(i)(VII), (a)(10)(A)(ii), (a)(10)(C)(i)(III), or (f) 
or under section 1905(p) may be less restrictive, and shall be 
no more restrictive, than the methodology--
          (i) in the case of groups consisting of aged, blind, 
        or disabled individuals, under the supplemental 
        security income program under title XVI, or
          (ii) in the case of other groups, under the State 
        plan most closely categorically related.
  (B) For purposes of this subsection and subsection (a)(10), 
methodology is considered to be ``no more restrictive'' if, 
using the methodology, additional individuals may be eligible 
for medical assistance and no individuals who are otherwise 
eligible are made ineligible for such assistance.
  (s) In order to meet the requirements of subsection (a)(55), 
the State plan must provide that payments to hospitals under 
the plan for inpatient hospital services furnished to infants 
who have not attained the age of 1 year, and to children who 
have not attained the age of 6 years and who receive such 
services in a disproportionate share hospital described in 
section 1923(b)(1), shall--
          (1) if made on a prospective basis (whether per diem, 
        per case, or otherwise) provide for an outlier 
        adjustment in payment amounts for medically necessary 
        inpatient hospital services involving exceptionally 
        high costs or exceptionally long lengths of stay,
          (2) not be limited by the imposition of day limits 
        with respect to the delivery of such services to such 
        individuals, and
          (3) not be limited by the imposition of dollar limits 
        (other than such limits resulting from prospective 
        payments as adjusted pursuant to paragraph (1)) with 
        respect to the delivery of such services to any such 
        individual who has not attained their first birthday 
        (or in the case of such an individual who is an 
        inpatient on his first birthday until such individual 
        is discharged).
  (t) Nothing in this title (including sections 1903(a) and 
1905(a)) shall be construed as authorizing the Secretary to 
deny or limit payments to a State for expenditures, for medical 
assistance for items or services, attributable to taxes of 
general applicability imposed with respect to the provision of 
such items or services.
  (u)(1) Individuals described in this paragraph are 
individuals--
          (A) who are entitled to elect COBRA continuation 
        coverage (as defined in paragraph (3)),
          (B) whose income (as determined under section 1612 
        for purposes of the supplemental security income 
        program) does not exceed 100 percent of the official 
        poverty line (as defined by the Office of Management 
        and Budget, and revised annually in accordance with 
        section 673(2) of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act 
        of 1981) applicable to a family of the size involved,
          (C) whose resources (as determined under section 1613 
        for purposes of the supplemental security income 
        program) do not exceed twice the maximum amount of 
        resources that an individual may have and obtain 
        benefits under that program, and
          (D) with respect to whose enrollment for COBRA 
        continuation coverage the State has determined that the 
        savings in expenditures under this title resulting from 
        such enrollment is likely to exceed the amount of 
        payments for COBRA premiums made.
  (2) For purposes of subsection (a)(10)(F) and this 
subsection, the term ``COBRA premiums'' means the applicable 
premium imposed with respect to COBRA continuation coverage.
  (3) In this subsection, the term ``COBRA continuation 
coverage'' means coverage under a group health plan provided by 
an employer with 75 or more employees provided pursuant to 
title XXII of the Public Health Service Act, section 4980B of 
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or title VI of the Employee 
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
  (4) Notwithstanding subsection (a)(17), for individuals 
described in paragraph (1) who are covered under the State plan 
by virtue of subsection (a)(10)(A)(ii)(XI)--
          (A) the income standard to be applied is the income 
        standard described in paragraph (1)(B), and
          (B) except as provided in section 1612(b)(4)(B)(ii), 
        costs incurred for medical care or for any other type 
        of remedial care shall not be taken into account in 
        determining income.
Any different treatment provided under this paragraph for such 
individuals shall not, because of subsection (a)(10)(B) or 
(a)(17), require or permit such treatment for other 
individuals.
  (v) A State plan may provide for the making of determinations 
of disability or blindness for the purpose of determining 
eligibility for medical assistance under the State plan by the 
single State agency or its designee, and make medical 
assistance available to individuals whom it finds to be blind 
or disabled and who are determined otherwise eligible for such 
assistance during the period of time prior to which a final 
determination of disability or blindness is made by the Social 
Security Administration with respect to such an individual. In 
making such determinations, the State must apply the 
definitions of disability and blindness found in section 
1614(a) of the Social Security Act.
  (w)(1) For purposes of subsection (a)(57) and sections 
1903(m)(1)(A) and 1919(c)(2)(E), the requirement of this 
subsection is that a provider or organization (as the case may 
be) maintain written policies and procedures with respect to 
all adult individuals receiving medical care by or through the 
provider or organization--
          (A) to provide written information to each such 
        individual concerning--
                  (i) an individual's rights under State law 
                (whether statutory or as recognized by the 
                courts of the State) to make decisions 
                concerning such medical care, including the 
                right to accept or refuse medical or surgical 
                treatment and the right to formulate advance 
                directives (as defined in paragraph (3)), and
                  (ii) the provider's or organization's written 
                policies respecting the implementation of such 
                rights;
          (B) to document in the individual's medical record 
        whether or not the individual has executed an advance 
        directive;
          (C) not to condition the provision of care or 
        otherwise discriminate against an individual based on 
        whether or not the individual has executed an advance 
        directive;
          (D) to ensure compliance with requirements of State 
        law (whether statutory or as recognized by the courts 
        of the State) respecting advance directives; and
          (E) to provide (individually or with others) for 
        education for staff and the community on issues 
        concerning advance directives.
Subparagraph (C) shall not be construed as requiring the 
provision of care which conflicts with an advance directive.
  (2) The written information described in paragraph (1)(A) 
shall be provided to an adult individual--
          (A) in the case of a hospital, at the time of the 
        individual's admission as an inpatient,
          (B) in the case of a nursing facility, at the time of 
        the individual's admission as a resident,
          (C) in the case of a provider of home health care or 
        personal care services, in advance of the individual 
        coming under the care of the provider,
          (D) in the case of a hospice program, at the time of 
        initial receipt of hospice care by the individual from 
        the program, and
          (E) in the case of a medicaid managed care 
        organization, at the time of enrollment of the 
        individual with the organization.
  (3) Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit 
the application of a State law which allows for an objection on 
the basis of conscience for any health care provider or any 
agent of such provider which as a matter of conscience cannot 
implement an advance directive.
  (4) In this subsection, the term ``advance directive'' means 
a written instruction, such as a living will or durable power 
of attorney for health care, recognized under State law 
(whether statutory or as recognized by the courts of the State) 
and relating to the provision of such care when the individual 
is incapacitated.
  (5) For construction relating to this subsection, see section 
7 of the Assisted Suicide Funding Restriction Act of 1997 
(relating to clarification respecting assisted suicide, 
euthanasia, and mercy killing).
  (x) The Secretary shall establish a system, for 
implementation by not later than July 1, 1991, which provides 
for a unique identifier for each physician who furnishes 
services for which payment may be made under a State plan 
approved under this title.
  (y)(1) In addition to any other authority under State law, 
where a State determines that a psychiatric hospital which is 
certified for participation under its plan no longer meets the 
requirements for a psychiatric hospital (referred to in section 
1905(h)) and further finds that the hospital's deficiencies--
          (A) immediately jeopardize the health and safety of 
        its patients, the State shall terminate the hospital's 
        participation under the State plan; or
          (B) do not immediately jeopardize the health and 
        safety of its patients, the State may terminate the 
        hospital's participation under the State plan, or 
        provide that no payment will be made under the State 
        plan with respect to any individual admitted to such 
        hospital after the effective date of the finding, or 
        both.
  (2) Except as provided in paragraph (3), if a psychiatric 
hospital described in paragraph (1)(B) has not complied with 
the requirements for a psychiatric hospital under this title--
          (A) within 3 months after the date the hospital is 
        found to be out of compliance with such requirements, 
        the State shall provide that no payment will be made 
        under the State plan with respect to any individual 
        admitted to such hospital after the end of such 3-month 
        period, or
          (B) within 6 months after the date the hospital is 
        found to be out of compliance with such requirements, 
        no Federal financial participation shall be provided 
        under section 1903(a) with respect to further services 
        provided in the hospital until the State finds that the 
        hospital is in compliance with the requirements of this 
        title.
  (3) The Secretary may continue payments, over a period of not 
longer than 6 months from the date the hospital is found to be 
out of compliance with such requirements, if--
          (A) the State finds that it is more appropriate to 
        take alternative action to assure compliance of the 
        hospital with the requirements than to terminate the 
        certification of the hospital,
          (B) the State has submitted a plan and timetable for 
        corrective action to the Secretary for approval and the 
        Secretary approves the plan of corrective action, and
          (C) the State agrees to repay to the Federal 
        Government payments received under this paragraph if 
        the corrective action is not taken in accordance with 
        the approved plan and timetable.
  (z)(1) Individuals described in this paragraph are 
individuals not described in subsection (a)(10)(A)(i)--
          (A) who are infected with tuberculosis;
          (B) whose income (as determined under the State plan 
        under this title with respect to disabled individuals) 
        does not exceed the maximum amount of income a disabled 
        individual described in subsection (a)(10)(A)(i) may 
        have and obtain medical assistance under the plan; and
          (C) whose resources (as determined under the State 
        plan under this title with respect to disabled 
        individuals) do not exceed the maximum amount of 
        resources a disabled individual described in subsection 
        (a)(10)(A)(i) may have and obtain medical assistance 
        under the plan.
  (2) For purposes of subsection (a)(10), the term ``TB-related 
services'' means each of the following services relating to 
treatment of infection with tuberculosis:
          (A) Prescribed drugs.
          (B) Physicians' services and services described in 
        section 1905(a)(2).

        Act (42 U.S.C. 300k et seq.) in accordance with the 
        requirements of section 1504 of that Act (42 U.S.C. 
        300n) and need treatment for breast or cervical cancer; 
        and

  (bb) Payment for Services Provided by Federally-Qualified 
Health Centers and Rural Health Clinics.--
          (1) In general.--Beginning with fiscal year 2001 with 
        respect to services furnished on or after January 1, 
        2001, and each succeeding fiscal year, the State plan 
        shall provide for payment for services described in 
        section 1905(a)(2)(C) furnished by a Federally-
        qualified health center and services described in 
        section 1905(a)(2)(B) furnished by a rural health 
        clinic in accordance with the provisions of this 
        subsection.
          (2) Fiscal year 2001.--Subject to paragraph (4), for 
        services furnished on and after January 1, 2001, during 
        fiscal year 2001, the State plan shall provide for 
        payment for such services in an amount (calculated on a 
        per visit basis) that is equal to 100 percent of the 
        average of the costs of the center or clinic of 
        furnishing such services during fiscal years 1999 and 
        2000 which are reasonable and related to the cost of 
        furnishing such services, or based on such other tests 
        of reasonableness as the Secretary prescribes in 
        regulations under section 1833(a)(3), or, in the case 
        of services to which such regulations do not apply, the 
        same methodology used under section 1833(a)(3), 
        adjusted to take into account any increase or decrease 
        in the scope of such services furnished by the center 
        or clinic during fiscal year 2001.
          (3) Fiscal year 2002 and succeeding fiscal years.--
        Subject to paragraph (4), for services furnished during 
        fiscal year 2002 or a succeeding fiscal year, the State 
        plan shall provide for payment for such services in an 
        amount (calculated on a per visit basis) that is equal 
        to the amount calculated for such services under this 
        subsection for the preceding fiscal year--
                  (A) increased by the percentage increase in 
                the MEI (as defined in section 1842(i)(3)) 
                applicable to primary care services (as defined 
                in section 1842(i)(4)) for that fiscal year; 
                and
                  (B) adjusted to take into account any 
                increase or decrease in the scope of such 
                services furnished by the center or clinic 
                during that fiscal year.
          (4) Establishment of initial year payment amount for 
        new centers or clinics.--In any case in which an entity 
        first qualifies as a Federally-qualified health center 
        or rural health clinic after fiscal year 2000, the 
        State plan shall provide for payment for services 
        described in section 1905(a)(2)(C) furnished by the 
        center or services described in section 1905(a)(2)(B) 
        furnished by the clinic in the first fiscal year in 
        which the center or clinic so qualifies in an amount 
        (calculated on a per visit basis) that is equal to 100 
        percent of the costs of furnishing such services during 
        such fiscal year based on the rates established under 
        this subsection for the fiscal year for other such 
        centers or clinics located in the same or adjacent area 
        with a similar case load or, in the absence of such a 
        center or clinic, in accordance with the regulations 
        and methodology referred to in paragraph (2) or based 
        on such other tests of reasonableness as the Secretary 
        may specify. For each fiscal year following the fiscal 
        year in which the entity first qualifies as a 
        Federally-qualified health center or rural health 
        clinic, the State plan shall provide for the payment 
        amount to be calculated in accordance with paragraph 
        (3).
          (5) Administration in the case of managed care.--
                  (A) In general.--In the case of services 
                furnished by a Federally-qualified health 
                center or rural health clinic pursuant to a 
                contract between the center or clinic and a 
                managed care entity (as defined in section 
                1932(a)(1)(B)), the State plan shall provide 
                for payment to the center or clinic by the 
                State of a supplemental payment equal to the 
                amount (if any) by which the amount determined 
                under paragraphs (2), (3), and (4) of this 
                subsection exceeds the amount of the payments 
                provided under the contract.
                  (B) Payment schedule.--The supplemental 
                payment required under subparagraph (A) shall 
                be made pursuant to a payment schedule agreed 
                to by the State and the Federally-qualified 
                health center or rural health clinic, but in no 
                case less frequently than every 4 months.
          (6) Alternative payment methodologies.--
        Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, 
        the State plan may provide for payment in any fiscal 
        year to a Federally-qualified health center for 
        services described in section 1905(a)(2)(C) or to a 
        rural health clinic for services described in section 
        1905(a)(2)(B) in an amount which is determined under an 
        alternative payment methodology that--
                  (A) is agreed to by the State and the center 
                or clinic; and
                  (B) results in payment to the center or 
                clinic of an amount which is at least equal to 
                the amount otherwise required to be paid to the 
                center or clinic under this section.
  (cc)(1) Individuals described in this paragraph are 
individuals--
          (A) who are children who have not attained 19 years 
        of age and are born--
                  (i) on or after January 1, 2001 (or, at the 
                option of a State, on or after an earlier 
                date), in the case of the second, third, and 
                fourth quarters of fiscal year 2007;
                  (ii) on or after October 1, 1995 (or, at the 
                option of a State, on or after an earlier 
                date), in the case of each quarter of fiscal 
                year 2008; and
                  (iii) after October 1, 1989, in the case of 
                each quarter of fiscal year 2009 and each 
                quarter of any fiscal year thereafter;
          (B) who would be considered disabled under section 
        1614(a)(3)(C) (as determined under title XVI for 
        children but without regard to any income or asset 
        eligibility requirements that apply under such title 
        with respect to children); and
          (C) whose family income does not exceed such income 
        level as the State establishes and does not exceed--
                  (i) 300 percent of the poverty line (as 
                defined in section 2110(c)(5)) applicable to a 
                family of the size involved; or
                  (ii) such higher percent of such poverty line 
                as a State may establish, except that--
                          (I) any medical assistance provided 
                        to an individual whose family income 
                        exceeds 300 percent of such poverty 
                        line may only be provided with State 
                        funds; and
                          (II) no Federal financial 
                        participation shall be provided under 
                        section 1903(a) for any medical 
                        assistance provided to such an 
                        individual.
  (2)(A) If an employer of a parent of an individual described 
in paragraph (1) offers family coverage under a group health 
plan (as defined in section 2791(a) of the Public Health 
Service Act), the State shall--
          (i) notwithstanding section 1906, require such parent 
        to apply for, enroll in, and pay premiums for such 
        coverage as a condition of such parent's child being or 
        remaining eligible for medical assistance under 
        subsection (a)(10)(A)(ii)(XIX) if the parent is 
        determined eligible for such coverage and the employer 
        contributes at least 50 percent of the total cost of 
        annual premiums for such coverage; and
          (ii) if such coverage is obtained--
                  (I) subject to paragraph (2) of section 
                1916(h), reduce the premium imposed by the 
                State under that section in an amount that 
                reasonably reflects the premium contribution 
                made by the parent for private coverage on 
                behalf of a child with a disability; and
                  (II) treat such coverage as a third party 
                liability under subsection (a)(25).
  (B) In the case of a parent to which subparagraph (A) 
applies, a State, notwithstanding section 1906 but subject to 
paragraph (1)(C)(ii), may provide for payment of any portion of 
the annual premium for such family coverage that the parent is 
required to pay. Any payments made by the State under this 
subparagraph shall be considered, for purposes of section 
1903(a), to be payments for medical assistance.
  (dd) Electronic Transmission of Information.--If the State 
agency determining eligibility for medical assistance under 
this title or child health assistance under title XXI verifies 
an element of eligibility based on information from an Express 
Lane Agency (as defined in subsection (e)(13)(F)), or from 
another public agency, then the applicant's signature under 
penalty of perjury shall not be required as to such element. 
Any signature requirement for an application for medical 
assistance may be satisfied through an electronic signature, as 
defined in section 1710(1) of the Government Paperwork 
Elimination Act (44 U.S.C. 3504 note). The requirements of 
subparagraphs (A) and (B) of section 1137(d)(2) may be met 
through evidence in digital or electronic form.
  (ee)(1) For purposes of subsection (a)(46)(B)(ii), the 
requirements of this subsection with respect to an individual 
declaring to be a citizen or national of the United States for 
purposes of establishing eligibility under this title, are, in 
lieu of requiring the individual to present satisfactory 
documentary evidence of citizenship or nationality under 
section 1903(x) (if the individual is not described in 
paragraph (2) of that section), as follows:
          (A) The State submits the name and social security 
        number of the individual to the Commissioner of Social 
        Security as part of the program established under 
        paragraph (2).
          (B) If the State receives notice from the 
        Commissioner of Social Security that the name or social 
        security number, or the declaration of citizenship or 
        nationality, of the individual is inconsistent with 
        information in the records maintained by the 
        Commissioner--
                  (i) the State makes a reasonable effort to 
                identify and address the causes of such 
                inconsistency, including through typographical 
                or other clerical errors, by contacting the 
                individual to confirm the accuracy of the name 
                or social security number submitted or 
                declaration of citizenship or nationality and 
                by taking such additional actions as the 
                Secretary, through regulation or other 
                guidance, or the State may identify, and 
                continues to provide the individual with 
                medical assistance while making such effort; 
                and
                  (ii) in the case such inconsistency is not 
                resolved under clause (i), the State--
                          (I) notifies the individual of such 
                        fact;
                          (II) provides the individual with a 
                        period of 90 days from the date on 
                        which the notice required under 
                        subclause (I) is received by the 
                        individual to either present 
                        satisfactory documentary evidence of 
                        citizenship or nationality (as defined 
                        in section 1903(x)(3)) or resolve the 
                        inconsistency with the Commissioner of 
                        Social Security (and continues to 
                        provide the individual with medical 
                        assistance during such 90-day period); 
                        and
                          (III) disenrolls the individual from 
                        the State plan under this title within 
                        30 days after the end of such 90-day 
                        period if no such documentary evidence 
                        is presented or if such inconsistency 
                        is not resolved.
  (2)(A) Each State electing to satisfy the requirements of 
this subsection for purposes of section 1902(a)(46)(B) shall 
establish a program under which the State submits at least 
monthly to the Commissioner of Social Security for comparison 
of the name and social security number, of each individual 
newly enrolled in the State plan under this title that month 
who is not described in section 1903(x)(2) and who declares to 
be a United States citizen or national, with information in 
records maintained by the Commissioner.
  (B) In establishing the State program under this paragraph, 
the State may enter into an agreement with the Commissioner of 
Social Security--
          (i) to provide, through an on-line system or 
        otherwise, for the electronic submission of, and 
        response to, the information submitted under 
        subparagraph (A) for an individual enrolled in the 
        State plan under this title who declares to be citizen 
        or national on at least a monthly basis; or
          (ii) to provide for a determination of the 
        consistency of the information submitted with the 
        information maintained in the records of the 
        Commissioner through such other method as agreed to by 
        the State and the Commissioner and approved by the 
        Secretary, provided that such method is no more 
        burdensome for individuals to comply with than any 
        burdens that may apply under a method described in 
        clause (i).
  (C) The program established under this paragraph shall 
provide that, in the case of any individual who is required to 
submit a social security number to the State under subparagraph 
(A) and who is unable to provide the State with such number, 
shall be provided with at least the reasonable opportunity to 
present satisfactory documentary evidence of citizenship or 
nationality (as defined in section 1903(x)(3)) as is provided 
under clauses (i) and (ii) of section 1137(d)(4)(A) to an 
individual for the submittal to the State of evidence 
indicating a satisfactory immigration status.
  (3)(A) The State agency implementing the plan approved under 
this title shall, at such times and in such form as the 
Secretary may specify, provide information on the percentage 
each month that the inconsistent submissions bears to the total 
submissions made for comparison for such month. For purposes of 
this subparagraph, a name, social security number, or 
declaration of citizenship or nationality of an individual 
shall be treated as inconsistent and included in the 
determination of such percentage only if--
          (i) the information submitted by the individual is 
        not consistent with information in records maintained 
        by the Commissioner of Social Security;
          (ii) the inconsistency is not resolved by the State;
          (iii) the individual was provided with a reasonable 
        period of time to resolve the inconsistency with the 
        Commissioner of Social Security or provide satisfactory 
        documentation of citizenship status and did not 
        successfully resolve such inconsistency; and
          (iv) payment has been made for an item or service 
        furnished to the individual under this title.
  (B) If, for any fiscal year, the average monthly percentage 
determined under subparagraph (A) is greater than 3 percent--
          (i) the State shall develop and adopt a corrective 
        plan to review its procedures for verifying the 
        identities of individuals seeking to enroll in the 
        State plan under this title and to identify and 
        implement changes in such procedures to improve their 
        accuracy; and
          (ii) pay to the Secretary an amount equal to the 
        amount which bears the same ratio to the total payments 
        under the State plan for the fiscal year for providing 
        medical assistance to individuals who provided 
        inconsistent information as the number of individuals 
        with inconsistent information in excess of 3 percent of 
        such total submitted bears to the total number of 
        individuals with inconsistent information.
  (C) The Secretary may waive, in certain limited cases, all or 
part of the payment under subparagraph (B)(ii) if the State is 
unable to reach the allowable error rate despite a good faith 
effort by such State.
  (D) Subparagraphs (A) and (B) shall not apply to a State for 
a fiscal year if there is an agreement described in paragraph 
(2)(B) in effect as of the close of the fiscal year that 
provides for the submission on a real-time basis of the 
information described in such paragraph.
  (4) Nothing in this subsection shall affect the rights of any 
individual under this title to appeal any disenrollment from a 
State plan.
  (ff) Notwithstanding any other requirement of this title or 
any other provision of Federal or State law, a State shall 
disregard the following property from resources for purposes of 
determining the eligibility of an individual who is an Indian 
for medical assistance under this title:
          (1) Property, including real property and 
        improvements, that is held in trust, subject to Federal 
        restrictions, or otherwise under the supervision of the

        including any federally recognized Indian Tribe's 
        reservation, pueblo, or colony, including former 
        reservations in Oklahoma, Alaska Native regions 
        established by the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, 
        and Indian allotments on or near a reservation as 
        designated and approved by the Bureau of Indian Affairs

        in paragraph (1), property located within the most 
        recent boundaries of a prior Federal reservation.
          (3) Ownership interests in rents, leases, royalties, 
        or usage rights related to natural resources (including 
        extraction of natural resources or harvesting of 
        timber, other plants and plant products, animals, fish, 
        and shellfish) resulting from the exercise of federally 
        protected rights.
          (4) Ownership interests in or usage rights to items 
        not covered by paragraphs (1) through (3) that have 
        unique religious, spiritual, traditional, or cultural

        traditional lifestyle according to applicable tribal 
        law or custom.
  (gg) Maintenance of Effort.--
          (1) General requirement to maintain eligibility 
        standards until state exchange is fully operational.--

        subsection, during the period that begins on the date 
        of enactment of the Patient Protection and Affordable 
        Care Act and ends on the date on which the Secretary 
        determines that an Exchange established by the State 
        under section 1311 of the Patient Protection and 
        Affordable Care Act is fully operational, as a 
        condition for receiving any Federal payments under 
        section 1903(a) for calendar quarters occurring during 
        such period, a State shall not have in effect 
        eligibility standards, methodologies, or procedures 
        under the State plan under this title or under any 
        waiver of such plan that is in effect during that 
        period, that are more restrictive than the eligibility 
        standards, methodologies, or procedures, respectively, 
        under the plan or waiver that are in effect on the date 
        of enactment of the Patient Protection and Affordable 
        Care Act.
          (2) Continuation of eligibility standards for 
        children through september 30, 2027.--The requirement 
        under paragraph (1) shall continue to apply to a State 
        through September 30, 2027 (but during the period that 
        begins on October 1, 2019, and ends on September 30, 
        2027 only with respect to children in families whose 
        income does not exceed 300 percent of the poverty line 
        (as defined in section 2110(c)(5)) applicable to a 
        family of the size involved) with respect to the 
        eligibility standards, methodologies, and procedures 
        under the State plan under this title or under any 
        waiver of such plan that are applicable to determining 
        the eligibility for medical assistance of any child who 
        is under 19 years of age (or such higher age as the 
        State may have elected).
          (3) Nonapplication.--During the period that begins on 
        January 1, 2011, and ends on December 31, 2013, the 
        requirement under paragraph (1) shall not apply to a 
        State with respect to nonpregnant, nondisabled adults 
        who are eligible for medical assistance under the State 
        plan or under a waiver of the plan at the option of the 
        State and whose income exceeds 133 percent of the 
        poverty line (as defined in section 2110(c)(5)) 
        applicable to a family of the size involved if, on or 
        after December 31, 2010, the State certifies to the 
        Secretary that, with respect to the State fiscal year 
        during which the certification is made, the State has a 
        budget deficit, or with respect to the succeeding State 
        fiscal year, the State is projected to have a budget 
        deficit. Upon submission of such a certification to the 
        Secretary, the requirement under paragraph (1) shall 
        not apply to the State with respect to any remaining 
        portion of the period described in the preceding 
        sentence.
          (4) Determination of compliance.--
                  (A) States shall apply modified adjusted 
                gross income.--A State's determination of 
                income in accordance with subsection (e)(14) 
                shall not be considered to be eligibility 
                standards, methodologies, or procedures that 
                are more restrictive than the standards, 
                methodologies, or procedures in effect under 
                the State plan or under a waiver of the plan on 
                the date of enactment of the Patient Protection 
                and Affordable Care Act for purposes of 
                determining compliance with the requirements of 
                paragraph (1), (2), or (3).
                  (B) States may expand eligibility or move 
                waivered populations into coverage under the 
                state plan.--With respect to any period 
                applicable under paragraph (1), (2), or (3), a 
                State that applies eligibility standards, 
                methodologies, or procedures under the State 
                plan under this title or under any waiver of 
                the plan that are less restrictive than the 
                eligibility standards, methodologies, or 
                procedures, applied under the State plan or 
                under a waiver of the plan on the date of 
                enactment of the Patient Protection and 
                Affordable Care Act, or that makes individuals 
                who, on such date of enactment, are eligible 
                for medical assistance under a waiver of the 
                State plan, after such date of enactment 
                eligible for medical assistance through a State 
                plan amendment with an income eligibility level 
                that is not less than the income eligibility 
                level that applied under the waiver, or as a 
                result of the application of subclause (VIII) 
                of section 1902(a)(10)(A)(i), shall not be 
                considered to have in effect eligibility 
                standards, methodologies, or procedures that 
                are more restrictive than the standards, 
                methodologies, or procedures in effect under 
                the State plan or under a waiver of the plan on 
                the date of enactment of the Patient Protection 
                and Affordable Care Act for purposes of 
                determining compliance with the requirements of 
                paragraph (1), (2), or (3).
  (hh)(1) A State may elect to phase-in the extension of 
eligibility for medical assistance to individuals described in 
subclause (XX) of subsection (a)(10)(A)(ii) based on the 
categorical group (including nonpregnant childless adults) or 
income, so long as the State does not extend such eligibility 
to individuals described in such subclause with higher income 
before making individuals described in such subclause with 
lower income eligible for medical assistance.
  (2) If an individual described in subclause (XX) of 
subsection (a)(10)(A)(ii) is the parent of a child who is under 
19 years of age (or such higher age as the State may have 
elected) who is eligible for medical assistance under the State 
plan or under a waiver of such plan, the individual may not be 
enrolled under the State plan unless the individual's child is 
enrolled under the State plan or under a waiver of the plan or 
is enrolled in other health insurance coverage. For purposes of 
the preceding sentence, the term ``parent'' includes an 
individual treated as a caretaker relative for purposes of

                level established under the State plan under 
                this title (or under its State child health 
                plan under title XXI) for pregnant women; and
                  (B) who are not pregnant.
          (2) At the option of a State, individuals described 
        in this subsection may include individuals who, had 
        individuals applied on or before January 1, 2007, would 
        have been made eligible pursuant to the standards and 
        processes imposed by that State for benefits described 
        in clause (XVI) of the matter following subparagraph 
        (G) of section subsection (a)(10) pursuant to a waiver 
        granted under section 1115.
          (3) At the option of a State, for purposes of 
        subsection (a)(17)(B), in determining eligibility for 
        services under this subsection, the State may consider 
        only the income of the applicant or recipient.

        as subsequently modified); and

        90466, 90467, 90468, 90471, 90472, 90473, or 90474 (as 
        subsequently modified) apply under such System.

the requirements of this subsection are the following:
          (1) Screening.--The State complies with the process 
        for screening providers and suppliers under this title, 
        as established by the Secretary under section 
        1866(j)(2).
          (2) Provisional period of enhanced oversight for new

                                in clause (i) if the State 
                                determines that the imposition 
                                of such temporary moratorium 
                                would adversely impact 
                                beneficiaries' access to 
                                medical assistance.
                                  (II) FFP available.--
                                Notwithstanding section 
                                1903(i)(2)(E), payment may be 
                                made to a State under this 
                                title with respect to amounts 
                                expended for items and services

                                the Secretary, in consultation 
                                with the State agency 
                                administering the State plan 
                                under this title (or a waiver 
                                of the plan), determines that 
                                denying payment to the State 
                                pursuant to such section would 
                                adversely impact beneficiaries' 
                                access to medical assistance. 
                          (iii) Limitation on charges to 
                        beneficiaries.--With respect to any 
                        amount expended for items or services 
                        furnished during calendar quarters 
                        beginning on or after October 1, 2017, 
                        the State prohibits, during the period 
                        of a temporary moratorium described in 
                        clause (i), a provider meeting the 
                        requirements specified in subparagraph 
                        (C)(iii) of section 1866(j)(7) from 
                        charging an individual or other person 
                        eligible to receive medical assistance 
                        under the State plan under this title 
                        (or a waiver of the plan) for an item 
                        or service described in section 
                        1903(i)(2)(E) furnished to such an 
                        individual.
                  (B) Moratorium on enrollment of providers and 
                suppliers.--At the option of the State, the 
                State imposes, for purposes of entering into 
                participation agreements with providers or 
                suppliers under the State plan or under a 
                waiver of the plan, periods of enrollment 
                moratoria, or numerical caps or other limits, 
                for providers or suppliers identified by the
