In developing their recommendations, the Department will note any additional administrative costs associated with changing systems to track caseload data in this manner and to compile and report on the data.
Governor's Response - Do not comply. I am directing the Department not to comply with this request for information for three reasons. First, the Medicaid mental health budget was transferred to the department in FY 2005-06 with the passage of House Bill 04 -1265. Second, the executive maintains the flexibility to adapt budgeting methodology as it best sees fit to ensure accuracy as needed. Finally the department has an impending request for proposal to re-procure the delivery of mental health services. Responses to the request are to be based on the current methodology for caseload and rates which would be invalidated if changes to the methodology occur.
