Public Policy Issues Agenda Issues Updates Electronic Library Issues Agenda Issues Agenda - Medicaid Health Plans of America Actuarial Soundness MHPA shall continue to work with all stakeholders, including the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and states, in coming up with a consistent, sustainable standard regarding the application of the actuarial soundness standard in the rate setting process. This effort is vital to the sustainability of Medicaid managed care. MHPA principles regarding actuarial soundness are: MHPA encourages CMS to disseminate best practices by states that have implemented the actuarial soundness requirement, focusing on how states can strengthen the overall process in each particular state. Best practices should include how states have established ongoing dialogue with Medicaid managed care organizations as part of the rate setting process. MHPA encourages openness and transparency, to the best extent possible, in the rate setting process. The preamble of the BBA indicated that CMS encourages sharing of relevant rate setting information between the states and participating health plans. MHPA encourages CMS to conduct joint training for Regional Office reviewers, states, Medicaid managed care organizations, actuaries and other key parties to promote a common understanding and consistent application of the actuarial soundness requirements.

Taking Stock of Natural Capital Ask yourself, how much would I pay for a sip of water? What about a breath of fresh air or a handful of fertile soil? What's a warm breeze or a blue sky worth in dollars and cents? As populations grow and global resources become strained, a few scientists are starting to ponder just such questions. Their goal is to understand the value of natural systems like air and water in terms of the human economy. Some writers have suggested that the ecosystem provides a range of free services that we take for granted, and that we may be in the process of squandering.
