Illinois General Assembly - Bill Status for HB 5000

Amends the Disabled Persons Rehabilitation Act and the Developmental Disability and Mental Disability Services Act. Prohibits the Department of Human Services from implementing a request-for-proposals (RFP) process for contracts to provide services under those Acts for FY06 until the Department (i) completes a cost-benefit analysis of the contracts to provide services under those Acts that were entered into for FY05 and (ii) reports its findings to the Governor and the General Assembly. Provides that the analysis must include an evaluation of the degree to which the recipients of the services were satisfied with the provision of those services. Effective immediately.

Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Department of Human Services Act and the Community Services Act. Provides that the Department of Human Services may initiate a 2-year pilot project aimed at the improvement of delivery of community-based services by contract, which will increase the number of service contracts open to a competitive selection process, increase the number of programs contracted on a fee-for-service basis to attract federal Medicaid match dollars, and utilize performance-based contracts in the provision of such services. Limits the total amount of the contracts issued under the project or that are subject to fee-for-service requirements to $64,000,000. Requires the Department to establish an "ombudsman" system under the program. Requires an evaluation of the program by an independent contractor. Provides that the Department of Human Services must bill the Department of Public Aid separately for services provided to recipients of medical assistance under Article V of the Illinois Public Aid Code through the Division of Mental Health and for services provided to such recipients through the Division of Developmental Disabilities. Effective immediately.

Further amends the Department of Human Services Act. Requires the Department of Human Services to implement policies and procedures for the procurement of community services under its jurisdiction in a manner that will ensure the maximum amount of federal financial participation in the cost of such services. Provides that for the community services that may be eligible for federal financial participation, the Department may issue and execute contracts that include provisions for payment on a fee-for-service basis after July 1, 2004 under certain terms and conditions. Provides that for FY05, to ensure continuity of services for recipients of community services administered by the Department and to ensure a smooth transition from any payment methodology not based on fee-for-service contracts, the Department shall fund community services through a combination of grants and contracts at amounts at least equal to the amounts in effect for FY04. Requires the Department to conduct a cost survey by September 1, 2004 and at 3-year intervals thereafter. Makes other changes.
