Overview of CY 2007 HealthChoice Rates
Medicaid Advisory Committee MeetingOctober 26, 2006
Development of Rates CY07 HealthChoice rates were developed
based upon the CY04 audited financial reports submitted by the plans as well as reported diagnosis & utilization encounter data.
The actuary, Mercer, developed trend factors to project the CY04 historical costs to the payment period, and applied a series of actuarial adjustments as necessary.
Components of Rate Increase The level of the CY07 rate increase
will be influenced by the following factors: Changes in the financial base Medical expense trend Administrative cost allowance Modest Profit / Contingency Actuarial adjustments State-designated incentive payments
Financial Base –Medical Expenses
The 2007 HealthChoice rates are based upon CY04 financial experience of the Plans:
$ PMPM CY04
Families & Children $120.17
Disabled $669.00
Deliveries $9,081.58
Total $226.23
Medical Trend
The actuary developed their trend estimates evaluating plan financial reports, HSCRC datasets, and HealthChoice encounter data.
Trend factors recognize changes in cost and utilization from the base period to the payment period.

Some adjustments increase and some adjustments decrease the rates.

Adjustments applied having the impact of increasing the rates were as follows:
FY 05 physician fee increase FY 06 physician fee increase
Actuarial Adjustments
Adjustments applied having the impact of decreasing the rates were as follows:
Adult dental carve out Adult drug co-pays Lower than anticipated MCO savings
for third party liability Improve RAC assignments due to
better encounter data submissions
Incentive Payments CY07 rates included $7.6 million for
statewide incentive payments to plans that operated in at least 20 counties. This is approximately 75% of the statewide incentive pool in 2006.
New for CY07 was the implementation of a quality incentive pool of $2.53 million. This is approximately 25% of the statewide incentive pool in 2006.
