	The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) will require General Fund appropriations of $4,217,096 in fiscal year 2016-17, $66,242,717 in fiscal year 2017-18 and $69,554,855 in fiscal year 2018-19 to increase reimbursement rates in Chapter 101: MaineCare Benefits Manual, Chapter III, Sections 13, 17, 21, 28, 29, 65 and 97 to reflect the increase in minimum wage. Federal Expenditures Fund allocations will also be required for the FMAP match and Other Special Revenue Funds allocations for the service provider tax.
	This fiscal note assumes the required rulemaking is accomplished by the bill's required deadline of June 1, 2017. If the DHHS does not meet this deadline the increase to reimbursement rates will be delayed and the fiscal impact will need to be adjusted.
