HCS 550 Week 3 Budget Impact Evaluation Presentation
The board of directors at your health care organization need some
background on the budgetary process, and more specifically the
Medicaid budget.
Create a 15- to 20-slide impact evaluation presentation that considers
the following issue:
Medicaid is an entitlement program based on specific criteria and
income levels, which means it is a mandatory program that must be
provided in each of the states. Traditionally, both the states and the
federal government together pay for the program. In times when the
U.S. economy suffers challenges, such as high rates of unemployment
or when a major crisis like Hurricane Katrina occurs, more
individuals and families become eligible for Medicaid. This forces
states to make difficult budgetary decisions, like shifting dollars from
programs that are not mandatory, such as K-12 school funding, into
Medicaid Match dollars.
Choose a specific state and analyze the budgetary impact of the
Medicaid program in that state.
Address the following in your impact evaluation:
§ What process do budgetary policies follow at the federal level
and in the selected state? What legislative committee is assigned to
each part?
§ How do budgetary changes (increases or decreases) affect the
community?
§ How does the policy budget process in your selected state
impact the health care environment? Give specific examples
Cite at least five references.
Format your analysis consistent with APA guidelines.
