Effective July 1, 2003.Fiscal Note (Department of Aging) House Bill 1178 amends the Illinois Act on Aging to require that the reimbursement rate for homemaker vendors be increased by $1.37 per hour, effective July 1, 2003. As such, the Illinois Department on Aging's reimbursement rate for Community Care Program homemaker services would increase from $11.06 per hour to $12.43 per hour. Based on estimate of total units (hours) of homemaker service that will be provided during FY04, the gross general revenue cost of this rate increase would be approximately $23.3 million. The net cost to the state, based on recent Medicaid claiming data, is estimated at $18.4 million.
