  • Title: Medicaid program; State share of financial participation--HCFA. Interim final rule with comment.
    Journal: Fed Regist; 1991 Sep 12; 56(177):46380-7. PubMed ID: 10113848.
    Abstract:
    Under certain circumstances, States are currently permitted to use voluntary contributions (donated funds) from providers and all revenues from State-imposed taxes, as the State share of the costs of the Medicaid program. There is now widespread use of State donations or other voluntary provider payment programs that unfairly affect the Federal share of Federal Financial Participation (FFP). This practice circumvents the States' statutory obligation to expend funds for medical assistance. Therefore, effective January 1, 1992, this interim final rule requires that the amount of funds donated from Medicaid providers be offset from Medicaid expenditures incurred on or after this date before calculating the amount of FFP in Medicaid expenditures. It also interprets section 4701(b)(2) of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990, which added section 1903(i)(10) to the Social Security Act. Section 1903(i)(10), precludes Federal Financial Participation (FFP) in State payments to hospitals, nursing facilities, and intermediate care facilities for the mentally retarded for facility expenditures that are attributable to provider-specific State taxes.
