All appropriations provided for the program
— MQ01.03 are to be used only for the
purposes herein appropriated, and there
shall be no budgetary transfer to any
other program or purpose, except that
general funds may be transferred to the
Subcabinet Fund for the purpose of
assisting local management boards in
returning or diverting children from
out-of-state placements. It is the intent of
the General Assembly that funds travel
with each child returned or diverted from
a Medicaid-funded out-of-state
placement in fiscal 2002 and 2003. Funds
transferred should be equivalent to the
number of days of in-state care provided
to each child returned or diverted from a
Medicaid-funded out-of-state placement
by local management boards during fiscal
2003 multiplied by the average per diem
general fund Medical Assistance cost of
maintaining the child in an out-of-state
placement. Funds should not be
transferred if the in-state placement still
qualifies for federal Medical Assistance
funding, with the exception of any general
fund savings generated by returning the
child to an in-state placement. To the
extent that Medicaid funds for children
placed out of state are included in the
Mental Hygiene Administration, those
funds, rather than Medical Care
Programs Administration funds, should
be transferred to the Subcabinet Fund
when a child is returned from out of state.
Further, it is the intent of the General
Assembly that the Medical Care Provider
Reimbursements budget be expended in
accordance with the budget detail
presented to and approved by the General
Assembly. Should the department wish to
make a regulatory, policy, or procedural
change which has an increase or decrease
