For a plan year beginning on or after January 1, 2018, notwithstanding any other provision of law, a Medicaid buy-in State may offer to eligible individuals with respect to a plan year a Medicaid buy-in plan in the individual market through an Exchange established under title I of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act for such plan year. A Medicaid buy-in State that offers a Medicaid buy-in plan under paragraph
(1)shall establish premium rates under such plan at a level calculated to produce revenue equal to the sum of— the costs of health benefits provided by the plan; plus 10 percent of the administrative costs related to operating the plan. In the case of a Medicaid buy-in plan, premiums may only vary to the extent permitted under section 2701(a)(1) of the Public Health Service Act. The enrollment period for a Medicaid buy-in plan offered under paragraph
(1)shall, to the extent practicable, conform with the enrollment period for qualified health plans offered through an Exchange. In the case of a Medicaid buy-in State that offers a Medicaid buy-in plan under paragraph (1), the Secretary of Health and Human Services shall pay to such State for each calendar quarter beginning on or after January 1, 2018, an amount equal to 90 percent of so much of the sums expended during such quarter as are attributable to administering the Medicaid buy-in plan in such State. Section 36B of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is amended by adding at the end the following new subsection: In the case of any individual enrolled in a Medicaid buy-in plan subsection

Section 36B(f) is amended by adding at the end the following new paragraph: For purposes of this subsection, advance payments under section 2(b)(4)(A) of the Health Care Choice and Affordability Act shall be treated as advance payments under section 1412 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. .
