How many people are anticipated to be able to enroll before a waiting list is created? Is there an estimate of eligibles or potential enrollees by county?
The number of persons to be enrolled in the program will depend upon the total funds available (appropriated at $77,778,000 Million for state fiscal year 2001-2002) and the per member per month rates negotiated with each contractor for their respective areas of service. The Department will be putting mechanisms in place to monitor monthly spending and projected spending against available funding balances. Contractors will be provided with advance notice if and when it becomes necessary to cease enrollment and to place prospective enrollees on a waiting list. Further, more detailed, instruction in regard to this issue will be issued subsequent to the execution of contracts. There is no estimate of eligibles or potential enrollees by county.
