(a) The office of Vermont health access shall implement the following provisions relating to provider payments from the appropriations in this section.
(1)
The office of Vermont health access shall reduce base Medicaid spending for
hospital services by $16,500,000 $16,094,403. In fiscal year
2006, the reduction in spending may be accomplished through a reduction in
hospital reimbursement, an offset with payments from the hospitals made to the
office in anticipation of the final settlement of outpatient costs for prior
years, or a combination of both. The offset shall be the payment amount above
the anticipated settlement of $1,900,000, which the office has already included
in its fiscal year 2006 outpatient projection, but the offset shall not offset
spending reductions by more than $5,000,000. Payments by hospitals shall be
considered provisional and shall be adjusted as necessary based on final outpatient
cost settlements. In fiscal year 2006, Vermont hospitals shall be allowed to increase charges to the
extent necessary to offset the reduction in reimbursement that results from
this section. Psychiatric hospitals licensed by the state of Vermont
shall be exempt from this reduction.
(2) Home health agency fees shall be reduced by $500,000.
(3)
Dentists’ fees shall be amended, and other strategies, including a reduction
to the cap on adult services, may be employed to reduce spending by $243,309
reduced by six percent to lower spending by $105,000. To the extent
possible, the reduction shall be targeted to health services received by adults
to minimize the impact on dental services for children.
(4) The amount of $2,400,000 in reductions shall be made in reimbursement rates to providers who use Current Procedural Technology (CPT) codes, but shall be implemented to minimize impact on primary care services.

submit reports on any transfers made in accordance with this section to the
joint fiscal committee on July 1, September 1, and November 1 for committee

meetings. In order to account for the October 1, 2005 start date of the

approval from the secretary of administration, may make transfers among the
appropriations authorized in this act for Medicaid and Medicaid-waiver program
expenses under the global commitment waiver for fiscal year 2006. At least

of transfers to be made pursuant to this section to the joint fiscal office. A

Sec. 25a. MENS HEALTH RESOURCES
(a) Findings. The department of health has concluded that:
(1) A website is an appropriate and effective vehicle for reaching the target audience (sexually active young men age 18-24).
(2) The current “themanphone.org” website is text heavy and should be streamlined to make it easier for a person to quickly find health information.
(3) The current website “themanphone.org” has limited information on tobacco, alcohol and other drugs, and should be expanded in these areas.
(4) In 2004, a male dating site “manphone.com” was licensed and appeared on the internet. The two web addresses are easily confused, sending the wrong message to our target audience. To address this, the site should be renamed.
(b) Consistent with the memorandum from the commissioner of the department of health to the Senate appropriations committee on February 2, 2006, the General Assembly agrees with the department’s recommendation and hereby directs the department of health to activate a website dealing with young men’s health risk issues by March 1, 2006.

The establishment of seven (7) new classified community supervision and support
positions - four (4) caseworkers, two (2) community corrections officers, and
one (1) administrative position - is authorized as of October 1, 2005,
contingent upon the out-of-state bed census being, on average, at or below 400
during the months of May, June, and July, excluding the impact of the
renovations at the St. Albans correctional facility. These positions shall be
transferred and converted from existing vacant positions in the executive
branch of state government. Of the above appropriation, $318,750 shall be used
to support these new positions.
(e)
All other funds associated with a reduction of 45 out-of-state beds from the
total included in the submitted budget in this appropriation shall be used for
correctional services needs as directed by the commissioner of corrections
which may include hiring up to four (4) mental health counselors.
(d) The department shall not expand the use of uniforms in fiscal year 2006 beyond the southern state and northwest correctional facilities.
Sec. 47. Sec. 142a of No. 71 of the Acts of 2005 is amended to read:
Sec. 142a. INTENT FOR FUNDS FROM ADDITIONAL OUT-OF-STATE
BED SAVINGS
(a)
To the extent the number of out-of-state beds funded in Sec. 142 of this act
falls from the budgeted level of 399, the savings of allocated funds associated
with the first 50 out-of-state bed reduction shall be used first to fund
five (5) new community supervision positions: three (3) caseworkers and
two (2) community corrections officers, and the remaining funds shall be used
for corrections services.
(b)
For every additional increment of 50 beds that the out-of-state bed need is
reduced, the savings associated with the reduction shall be used equally to
fund additional community supports or supervision and other correctional
services needs which may include hiring up to four (4) mental health counselors
if they were not hired pursuant to Sec. 142(e) of this act.
(a) It is the intent of the legislature that should the projected need for out-of-state beds be reduced from the amount budgeted at any time during any fiscal year and this need is expected to remain at or below this new level for at least 12 months, the resources within the correctional services budget that would have been used for out-of-state bed capacity be reallocated first to community supervision to create and fill at least five community supervision positions including caseworkers and community corrections officers for each 50 bed reduction in long‑term projected out‑of‑state bed need. Projections of out-of-state bed need for at least the subsequent 12 months shall be made by the department of corrections for presentation at each meeting to the legislative joint corrections oversight committee.
