Summary

This document proposes the methodology and data sources necessary to determine federal payment amounts to be made in program years 2019 and 2020 to states that elect to establish a Basic Health Program under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act to offer health benefits coverage to low-income individuals otherwise eligible to purchase coverage through Affordable Insurance Exchanges. Prior to the final notice being published, Basic Health Program (BHP) payments will be made using the methodology described in the Final Administrative Order published on August 24, 2018. Payments for 2019 will be conformed to the finalized 2019 payment methodology through reconciliation.
