The IGT funds would be deposited into a Medicaid
|
|
|
Trust Fund. The Fund would entirely finance MA
|
|
|
provider increases recommended by the Governor.

The IGT program will likely be phased-out as a
|
|
|
funding option. The Federal government is working to
|
|
eliminate the ability of States to obtain federal
|
|
|
Medicaid matching funds using IGT mechanisms.

Securing the federal Medicaid matching IGT funds is
|
|
|
not a certainty. The State has submitted a change to
|
|
|
its Medicaid plan and the Federal government is
|
|
|
expected to approve or deny this change some time
|
|
|
prior to May 1, 2001. If this IGT program change is
|
|
|
denied, substantial GPR increases for nursing
|
|
|
facilities and other MA providers would be required.
