An act relating to health care reform implementation. This bill proposes to create additional reporting, certification, and budget requirements for accountable care organizations; direct hospitals to report certain rate increases to the Green Mountain Care Board; and impose new requirements on contracting between health plans and health care providers. It would require the Green Mountain Care Board to review annually the budgets of designated and specialized service agencies and preferred provider organizations. The bill would specify that the Green Mountain Care Board’s membership must include a health care professional, require the Board to begin exercising its rate-setting authority and to establish site-neutral reimbursement amounts, and direct the Board to review and approve contracts between health plans and health care providers. The bill would also impose limits on health insurance rate increases attributable to administrative expenses and require the Agency of Human Services to report on two-year accountable care organization budget and reporting cycles and on the likely effects of attributing or not attributing State employees and public school employees to an accountable care organization.
