Coverage of Medicaid beneficiaries by integrated care networks.

(a) The Medicaid Agency shall determine by rule which groups of Medicaid beneficiaries to include for coverage by an integrated care network. The Medicaid Agency, without the approval of the Governor, shall not make a coverage decision that would affect Medicaid beneficiaries who are directly served by another state agency.

(b) Notwithstanding subsection (a), the current Medicaid long-term care programs shall continue as currently administered by the Medicaid Agency until one or more integrated care networks are fully operational and has entered into a risk contract as provided herein.
