The Governor’s budget would replace the State’s
|
|
|
current IGT program, which uses county nursing
|
|
|
facility losses to capture Federal Medicaid matching
|
|
|
funds, with a new IGT program that relies on
|
|
|
borrowed county dollars annually transferred to the
|
|
|
State and matched by the federal government. Rock,
|
|
|
Sheboygan and Walworth have agreed to serve as the
|
|
|
transfer counties.
|
|
|
| • |
This change is necessary to address federal concerns
|
|
with the current IGT program and to capture
|
|
|
significantly more federal Medicaid funds.
|
|
|
| • |
An IGT program similar to that proposed by the
|
|
|
Governor is used by approximately 26 other states.
