Title: MEDICAID AND THE STATE CHILDREN'S HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM (SCHIP): PROVISIONS IN THE CONSOLIDATED APPROPRIATIONS ACT FOR FY2000
Authors: Jean Hearne and Elicia Herz, Domestic Social Policy Division 
Abstract: This report summarizes the Medicaid and SCHIP provisions of H.R. 3426, the Medicare, Medicaid and SCHIP Balanced Budget Refinement Act of 1999 (BBRA 99) that was incorporated by reference into the conference agreement (H.R. 3194) on the Consolidated Appropriations Act for FY2000 (P.L. 106-113). While the majority of the provisions of BBRA 99 are intended to mitigate the impact of Medicare provisions in the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (BBA 97) on health care providers, the new law includes a number of changes to Medicaid and SCHIP.
