| Notes: | These are original and revised annual state "clawback" payments from CMS based on December 2005 actual enrollment of Medicaid and Medicare dual eligibles. They represent the payment amounts that states will be assessed to finance a portion of Medicare Part D for each dual eligible during 2006. The newly updated National Health Expenditures (NHE) growth rate in per capita prescription drug spending between 2003 and 2006 was used by CMS in the calculation of the new clawback figures. The total percentage reduction in annual payments is -9.66%. For more details about the Clawback, see KCMU''s "The ''Clawback:'' State Financing of Medicare Drug Coverage," available at http://www.kff.org/medicaid/7118a.cfm. |
