The HELP Entity Fee (HEF) is equal to the state’s share of the annual average cost per program participant split up over 12 months, multiplied by the number of individuals in the 26 U.S.C. 501(d) organization who are receiving Medicaid coverage, less the total annual amount the entity’s members have paid in premiums.
Help Entity Fee = (Average Cost per Participant/12 X Participating Members) - Total Premiums
