Texas is the second-largest state in the country, in terms of population. Managing public health and related matters for this large and fast-growing population is the responsibility of the the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (“HHSC”). HHSC has about 12,800 employees, and a 2016 all-funds budget of $29 Billion. HHSC provides direct administration of Medicaid, the Children`s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and SNAP food benefits, and also provides administrative oversight of other state agencies, including: * Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS) , * Department of State Health Services (DSHS) , * Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services (DARS) , and, * Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) . The HHS System consolidated budget, including HHSC and the four agencies under it, is about $42 Billion per year all funds, with about 58,000 employees. In dollar terms, the single-largest component of HHSC is Medicaid/CHIP. By the fall of 2016, about 90% of all Texas Medicaid/CHIP beneficiaries will be enrolled under full-risk capitated managed care. Including Federal dollars, managed care in Texas Medicaid/CHIP is presently about $20 Billion per year in premiums, covering some 4 million beneficiaries, and contracting with over 20 managed care organizations.
The Office of the Commissioner of Insurance (OCI) was created by the legislature in 1870. The original intent of OCI has not changed drastically over the past 125 years. In 1870, OCI was vested with broad powers to ensure that the insurance industry responsibly and adequately met the insurance needs of Wisconsin citizens. Today, OCI`s mission is to lead the way in informing and protecting the public and responding to its insurance needs. OCI performs a variety of tasks to protect insurance consumers and ensure a competitive insurance environment. OCI`s major functions include: • Reviewing insurance policies that are sold in Wisconsin to make sure they meet the requirements set forth in Wisconsin law; • Conducting examinations of domestic and foreign insurers to ensure compliance with Wisconsin laws and rules; • Monitoring the financial solvency of licensed companies to make sure that consumers have the insurance coverage they expect when they need it; • Issuing licenses to the various parties involved in selling and marketing insurance products; • Assisting insurance consumers with their insurance problems; • Researching special insurance issues to understand and assess their impact on Wisconsin; • Providing technical assistance on legislation and promulgating administrative rules to interpret insurance laws; • Creating and distributing public information and consumer education pieces to educate people about insurance; and • Operating a state life insurance fund, a property fund for the property owned by local units of government, and a patients compensation fund insuring health care providers for medical malpractice.
