The results of the initial proposed model would likely lead to about 2/3 of people getting reductions with many of these having large reductions (over 40% reduction in cost plan compared to current cost plan). The initial proposed model could result in about 45%of people not having enoughin their budgets to fund their current core services. iBudget ImplementationChallenges and Impacts
Models’ Impact on Individuals Note: The initial proposed model would set aside about $100 million for extraordinary needs as well as other required costs not in the algorithm such as waiver support coordination.
Uses current cost plan and initial proposed iBudget amount as starting point. Does not increase any cost plan. Does not decrease any cost plan more than 50%. Uses core services to approximate “extraordinary needs.” Additional savings from other cost-containment strategies and individual cost plan reviews would continue. Model AKey Features
