Medicaid transplant services.

FISCAL NOTE

 

 

The fiscal impact, in the form of a potential expenditure decrease, is indeterminable due to an unknown number of cases.

 

Source of Expenditure Decrease:

 

Deletion of potential transplant

 

Assumptions:

 

This bill may have an impact on expenditures, but a specific dollar figure cannot be calculated because the number and type of adult organ transplants varies widely year to year.  To date, the Wyoming Department of Health has not paid for any adult liver transplants.  It is estimated Medicaid would pay approximately $172,000 for one liver transplant per year.  Any expenditure would be funded at approximately 54 percent from federal funds and 46 percent from the General Fund.
