State intent regarding appropriations for medicaid rates for mental health providers
Indefinitely postponed
Summary
The bill would allocate $1.5 million from a hospital quality fund to the Department of Health and Human Services to reimburse mental‑health providers who are not based in hospitals and who treat patients eligible for both Medicaid and Medicare, when Medicare pays a lower rate. It aims to keep Medicaid reimbursement levels for those providers unchanged.
