ROBERT L. EHRLICH, JR., Governor                            S.B. 716 (2) The purposes of the computerized system are to: (i) enroll eligible individuals more efficiently in the Medicaid
Program;
(ii) refer eligible individuals to the Maryland Health Insurance
Plan; and
(iii) if practicable, make referrals to other available State- and
federally-sponsored programs that provide inpatient hospital coverage for uninsured
individuals and other health care services that have the potential to reduce
uncompensated care at Maryland hospitals.
(b)     (1) Before issuing a request for proposals for the development of a
computerized eligibility system under this section, the Department shall report to the
Board of the Maryland Health Insurance Plan on a plan to implement the proposed
eligibility system, including a design draft and a description of how the system will
function.
(2) The report required under paragraph (1) of this subsection shall: (i) enumerate the specifications of any request for proposals to
develop the eligibility system;
(ii) demonstrate how the proposed computerized eligibility system
will be more efficient and effective than the existing system;
(iii) estimate the reduction in hospital uncompensated care that
would result from the appropriate use of the proposed computerized eligibility system;
and
(iv) demonstrate how the proposed computerized eligibility system
will improve enrollment of eligible individuals in the Maryland Health Insurance
Plan.
(c)      (1) After reviewing the report required under subsection (b) of this section,
the Board of the Maryland Health Insurance Plan:
(i) may make comments and suggest changes to the proposed plan;
and
(ii) shall submit a copy of the report to the Chief of Information
Technology in the Department of Budget and Management.
(2) The Department may not proceed in implementing the proposed
computerized eligibility system until the Board of the Maryland Health Insurance
Plan:
(i) is satisfied with the functional capabilities of the proposed
computerized eligibility system as described in the request for proposals;
