Medical capitation payment withhold related to verification of coverage establishment

This bill requires Minnesota's health insurance plans serving medical assistance recipients to meet specific performance targets before receiving 5% of their monthly payments. It directly affects managed care plans and county-based purchasing plans that provide health services through Minnesota's medical assistance program. Key provisions include setting measurable targets for cost containment, service quality, and data accuracy, with withheld funds returned no earlier than July 1 of the following year if targets are met. The bill also mandates that plans verify coverage for recipients and report rate increases to the legislature.
