Washington SB5258 implements recommendations to reduce improper Medicaid payments by addressing concurrent enrollments and out-of-state residency.

Washington SB5258 aims to reduce improper Medicaid payments by addressing concurrent enrollments and out-of-state residency. The bill mandates collaboration between the authority and the department to notify the authority of individuals enrolled in both Medicaid and other income-based programs, such as food stamps, who have moved out of state. It requires managed care organizations to analyze enrollment records monthly to identify concurrent enrollments and report these findings. The authority must analyze Medicaid client addresses quarterly to identify those who have moved out of state.
