Unsupported Price Increases
In one of a series of reports on Medicare+Choice organizations’ use of the additional funding provided by the Benefits Improvement and Protection Act of 2000 (BIPA), the Department of Health and Human Services sought to "determine whether Humana (1) supported the $7.8 million of additional capitation payments and used the funds in a manner consistent with BIPA requirements and (2) supported the $6.6 million cost increase that was not related to the BIPA funding increase. Of the $7.8 million BIPA capitation payment increase in Humana’s revised proposal, $2.6 million was properly supported and was used in a manner consistent with BIPA requirements. However, the remaining $5.2 million was unsupported; therefore, we could not determine whether it was used in a manner consistent with BIPA requirements. Additionally, of the $6.6 million increase in direct medical care costs that was not related to the BIPA funding increase, $1.3 million was supported. The remaining $5.3 million was unsupported.”
