The state department is required to publish this medical loss ratio data on the state department's website on an annual basis.</strike></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <i>The bill requires the state department to collect direct care service cost to administrative cost ratio information from home- and community-based service provider agencies that serve 30 or fewer members and submit a report to the general assembly detailing the information collected.</i></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The bill repeals the state medical assistance and services advisory council.<br/></p><p><br/><i>(Note: Italicized words indicate new material added to the original summary; dashes through words indicate deletions from the original summary.)</i><br/><br/><br/><i>(Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.)</i></p></body></html>",
