Bill Summary

Relative to the reimbursement rates for out-of-state providers that contract with MassHealth. Health Care Financing.

AI Summary

This bill requires that the reimbursement rates for out-of-state providers that contract with MassHealth, the Massachusetts Medicaid program, be no higher than the rates established under the provider's own state Medicaid program for services of the same acuity. This applies to both inpatient and outpatient services provided by out-of-state acute hospitals. The bill aims to ensure equivalent Medicaid reimbursement for these out-of-state providers, rather than allowing higher rates to be set.
