208.477. Medicaid eligibility, criteria used, effect when more restrictive than FY2003. — For each state fiscal year, if the criteria used to determine eligibility for Medicaid coverage under a Section 1115 waiver are more restrictive than those in place in state fiscal year 2003, the MO HealthNet division shall:
(1) Reduce the federal reimbursement allowance assessment for that fiscal year. The reduction shall equal the amount of federal reimbursement allowance appropriated to fund the Section 1115 waiver in state fiscal year 2002 multiplied by the percentage decrease in Medicaid waiver enrollment as a result of using the more restrictive waiver eligibility standards; and
(2) Increase cost of the uninsured payments for that fiscal year. The increased payments shall offset the higher uninsured costs resulting from the use of more restrictive Medicaid waiver eligibility criteria, as determined by the department of social services.
