Insurance: other; allocation of revenue under the insurance provider assessment act; modify. Amends sec. 13 of 2018 PA 175 (MCL 550.1763). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4037'25
HB 4038 amends Michigan's Insurance Provider Assessment Act to redirect funds collected from insurance companies. It specifies that money must be used for: (1) paying Medicaid managed care organizations up to $14 million annually for capitation rates; (2) offsetting lost revenue from health insurance claims assessments ($315 million for 2018-19, $240 million for 2019-20); and (3) funding a health data utility with $6 million in 2026, increasing to $8 million annually starting in 2028 (adjusted for inflation via the Consumer Price Index). The bill ensures these funds remain in a dedicated account and do not lapse to the general fund. This directly affects Medicaid providers, the state treasury, and the health data utility managing public health information.

MODERATE
The bill was amended to add a new provision allowing the state treasurer to receive and invest funds from any source. The funding schedule for the health data utility was restructured to include specific annual allocations for fiscal years 2025 through 2028, with a new automatic inflation adjustment mechanism starting in 2029. A reference to a related Senate bill was removed, leaving the enactment of House Bill 4037 as the sole condition for the bill to take effect.
