Healthy Families Program


CURRENT YEAR
 The May Revision projects an overall expenditure increase of $5.6 million ($2.3 million General Fund and $3.3 million other funds), to $1.1 billion ($395.8 million General Fund), from the level anticipated in the Governor's Budget. The Healthy Families Program (HFP) is expected to serve a total of 880,999 children by June 30, 2008, a decrease of 27,913, or 3.1 percent, from June 30, 2007. Funding increases are primarily due to an increase in the average statewide capitation rate paid per enrollee. The average statewide rate may vary as enrollees shift among the 21 health plans available to subscribers, as some plans have higher capitation rates than others.


BUDGET YEAR
 Between June 2008 and June 2009, enrollment in the HFP is projected to grow from 880,999 children to 935,482 children, a 6.2-percent increase. This is a decrease of 18,770 children compared to the projection at Governor's Budget. The May Revision projects an overall expenditure increase of $5.8 million ($2.1 million General Fund), to $1.1 billion ($389.9 million General Fund), from the level anticipated in the Governor's Budget. The General Fund increase from the Governor's Budget level includes the following significant adjustments:

  • $4.8 million increase due to the loss of savings associated with the delay of the enactment of the HFP Budget Balancing Reductions.
  • $1.9 million decrease related to delaying implementation of Chapter 328, Statutes 2006. Upon implementation, HFP beneficiaries will be able to self-certify their income at annual eligibility redetermination.
