Number of physical therapy visits available to children under medical assistance increased.

Summary

The bill raises the cap on reimbursable physical therapy sessions for children receiving medical assistance who have had inpatient or outpatient surgery from 14 to 30 visits per year, effective Jan. 1, 2027 (or later if federal approval is required). All other medical‑assistance recipients keep the existing 14‑visit limit, and the current reimbursement rules for physical therapy assistants remain unchanged. This change aims to give children better post‑surgical rehab support.
