Children's Medical Security Plan Premiums

SECTION 18.   Section 10F of said chapter 118E, as appearing in the 2004 Official Edition, is hereby amended by striking out subsection (d) and inserting in place thereof the following subsection:-

          (d) The cost of this program shall be funded in part by premiums contributed by enrollees. These premiums shall be set forth in regulations of the executive office of health and human services.
 
 

Summary:
This section removes the premium structure in effect through FY05 from statute, and allows MassHealth to set premiums through regulation. In FY06 and FY07, a new premium structure included in line-item language had superseded the statutory premium structure.
