The department of human services shall annually prepare a public-health-access-beneficiary employer report. A "public-health-access-program beneficiary" means any person who receives medical benefits from RIte Care, RIte Share, or Medicaid. Any applicant for public health-benefits through RIte-Care, RIte Share, and/or Medicaid shall identify the employer, or the employers, of the proposed beneficiary of the healthcare benefits. The report shall provide the following information for each employer of fifty (50) or more public-health-access beneficiaries:
In determining whether the fifty-employee threshold is met, the department of human services shall include all public-health-access-program beneficiaries employed by the employer and its subsidiaries throughout the state. The report shall not include the names of any individual public-health-access-program beneficiaries and shall be subject to privacy standards pursuant to Pub. L. No. 104-91, and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. The report shall be submitted annually on the third Tuesday in January to the joint committee on health care oversight, the house finance committee, and the senate finance committee.
