Provides that for the development of rates for new rate years, the Department shall: (i) take into account emerging experience in the development of the annual MCO base rates; (ii) meet with MCOs, no less than 6 months prior to submission of the new rates to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, to review data and the Department's written draft assumptions to be used in the development of base rates for the following year; (iii) provide the MCOs with draft capitated base rates no less than 2 months prior to the submission of the new rates to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services; and (iv) provide the MCOs with a final actuarial report regarding the final base rates for the following year prior to the submission of final rates to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
