Fiscal Note
Potential current biennium savings - General Fund
Fiscal Detail and Notes
	PL 2011, c. 380 (the 2012-2013 Biennial Budget) assumed $1.3 million in 2012-13 General Fund savings "as a result of recoveries from Maine's' recently approved state plan amendment to use a recovery audit contractor to address overpayments to providers". This bill authorizes the Department of Health and Human Services to enter into an agreement with a MaineCare recovery audit contractor on a contingency basis consistent with the assumed savings proposal in the biennial budget. While there is the potential for MaineCare savings in addition to those assumed in the biennial budget, these are not quantifiable at the present time and will depend on actual experience with the contractor.
