Fiscal Note - State of Utah - 2014 General Session

HB0141S02 - Health Reform Amendments

State Government (UCA 36-12-13(2)(b)):
The risk adjustment program could cost the Insurance Department $265,500 annually. Federal grants could cover first year costs and then fee revenue from the Small Employer Risk Adjustment Enterprise Fund would take over payments. The Insurance Department will likely have $2,300 in one-time rule making costs. Spending from the Insurance Department Restricted Account affects the annual revenue transfer to the General Fund. Beginning in FY 2015, Medicaid Inspector General gathered enrollment data may result in an ongoing $1,000,000 General Fund recovery increase.
