Enactment of this bill may slightly lower provider reimbursement rates and could potentially reduce costs to Medicaid and public employee health insurance; however, the exact impact cannot currently be calculated. Enactment of this bill may also reduce recovery of Medicaid claims by the Office of Recovery Services, which would in turn reduce Medicaid revenue; however, the frequency of claims that would be impacted and the exact dollar impact in each case cannot currently be predicted.

Individual, Business and/or Local Impact:
Enactment of this bill may benefit certain individuals and businesses and may reduce revenues of other individuals and businesses. Local governments may benefit from provisions of this bill.
