Bill > SB00171

This bill proposes to amend title 17b of the general statutes to require the Commissioner of Social Services to increase Medicaid payment rates for radiological services. Medicaid is a joint federal and state health insurance program that provides medical coverage for low-income individuals and families. Radiological services typically include medical imaging procedures like X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, and ultrasounds. By raising the reimbursement rates for these services, the bill aims to potentially improve access to diagnostic imaging for Medicaid patients by making it more financially attractive for healthcare providers to offer these services. The specific details of how much the rates will be increased are not provided in this bill text, leaving the exact implementation to the discretion of the Commissioner of Social Services.
