PROJECTED NON-BENEFIT COSTS. A. Changes in Data Sources, Assumptions, or Methodologies Since Last Certification Cost report data, including non-benefit costs, was available for CY 2016. We used this information to evaluate the reasonableness of our non-benefit expense assumptions for the Extension population. As reported non-benefit expenses in the CY 2016 cost reports did not differ significantly between the CFC Adult and Extension populations, the non-benefit expense percentage loads have been set equal for the two populations in the development of the CY 2018 rates. This assumption is consistent with the prior certification. B. Assumption Differences Relative to Other Medicaid Populations As stated previously, non-benefit expense assumptions for the Extension population were set equal to the CFC Adult population.

PROJECTED NON-BENEFIT COSTS. A. RATE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS ii. PMPM Versus Percentage The non-benefit cost was developed as a percentage of the capitation rate. iii. Basis for Variation in Assumptions Any assumption variation between covered populations is the result of program differences and is in no way based on the rate of federal financial participation associated with the population. iv.

PROJECTED NON-BENEFIT COSTS. ‌ I.5.A. Rate Development Standards‌ This section of the 2025 Guide provides information on the non-benefit component of the capitation rates. I.5.B. Appropriate Documentation‌ I.5.B.i. Description of the Development of Projected Non-Benefit Costs I.5.B.i.(a) Data, Assumptions, and Methodology‌‌‌ The primary data source used to develop the administrative component of the CYE 25 capitation rates for the ACC populations was the historical and projected administrative expense data submitted by the Contractors per a supplemental data request, as noted in Section I.2.B.ii.(b)(ii). The primary data source used to develop the administrative component of the CYE 25 capitation rates for the RBHA populations was the administrative expense PMPM submitted by the Offerors during the CYE 24 CCE, as noted in Section I.2.B.ii.(b)(ii). As part of the CCE, the Offerors were required to bid actuarially sound administrative costs by GSA and risk group with detailed administrative COS information for five years (CYE 23 through CYE 27) as well as provide the projected member months assumed for each of the years by GSA and risk group. The ACC and ACC-RBHA Contractors’ supplemental administrative data request included amounts for administrative expenses for CYE 24 Q1 (through December 31, 2023) actuals, actual/projected amounts for CYE 24, and projected amounts for CYE 25. The Contractors also provided CYE 23 actuals for the ACC risk groups. This data request included administrative breakouts into different categories, breakdowns of fixed and variable administrative costs for the ACC populations, and the ACC and ACC-RBHA Contractors’ member months for each of the time frames. The CYE 23 financial statements and CYE 24 Q1 financial statements for all ACC and ACC-RBHA risk groups were also reviewed. Other sources of data reviewed and utilized in the development of the non-benefit cost projections were trends and forecasts for various Consumer Price Indices (CPI) and Employment Cost Indices (ECI) data from S&P Global Market Intelligence Healthcare Cost Review. The ACC population administrative PMPMs included in the capitation rates were developed primarily using the Contractors’ supplemental administrative data and CYE 25 projected member months from both the Contractors and AHCCCS. For the fixed administrative expenses, the PMPM was developed by using each Contractor’s projected costs, plus some added adjustments for increased contract requirements not known at the time of the Cont...
