Basic Health Program: Proposed Federal Funding Methodology for Program Year 2015
In this recent release, CMS proposes the methodology and data sources necessary to determine federal payment amounts made to states that elect to establish a Basic Health Program (BHP). The BHP program, which is scheduled to begin in January 2015, will offer health benefits coverage to low-income individuals otherwise eligible to purchase coverage through the health insurance marketplaces. Comments on the proposed funding methodology are due by January 22, 2014.
