AHCA set the following goals for the development of these rates by Milliman and Robertson, Inc.:
- Establishing an upper payment limit as an estimate of the cost of providing care for the HMO population in a fee-for-service setting;
- Setting capitation rates less than the upper payment limit;
- Developing rates acceptable to HCFA;
- Providing fair reimbursement to the HMOs;
- Fostering an increase in rural HMO participation; and
- Minimizing the impact of year-to-year fluctutation.
Capitation rates were created in 4 eligibility groups in these categories:
- Hospital/Medical
- Dental
- Transportation
- Prescription Drug Rebates.
These dollars have not been subtracted from the overall rates. A pharmacy cost reduction of 5.29% was achieved for all districts and eligibility categories, to total the legislatively-mandated $11 million reduction.
