Section 560-X-20-.08 - Payment Of Health Insurance Premiums

Universal Citation: AL Admin Code R 560-X-20-.08

Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 02, November 27, 2024

(1) The Alabama Medicaid Agency may pay health insurance premiums of certain Medicaid eligibles or recipients when the agency determines that payment of the premium would be cost effective. The primary objective of paying certain health insurance premiums is to reduce Medicaid expenditures by enrolling Medicaid eligibles in or continuing existing health insurance coverage so that Medicaid becomes a secondary payor.

(2) Cost effectiveness is defined as meaning the expenditure of Medicaid funds for a set of services is likely to be greater than the cost of paying the health insurance premium. Criteria for determining cost effectiveness will be determined by the Alabama Medicaid Agency.
