Bill > HB3550

This bill amends the Health and Safety Code to establish standards for prescribed pediatric extended care centers, including requirements for transportation services, restrictions on interfering with parental decision-making, and guidance on nursing services and admission forms. It also adds a new section to the Human Resources Code to specify Medicaid reimbursement requirements for these centers, prohibiting the combination of transportation documentation with other services and conditioning reimbursement on the use of transportation services. The bill directs the executive commissioner of the Health and Human Services Commission to adopt the necessary rules and update relevant manuals to implement these changes.
