Bill > SB00440

This bill would require the Commissioner of Social Services to ensure that Medicaid reimbursement rates are set at no less than 90% of the corresponding Medicare reimbursement rates. In other words, healthcare providers who treat Medicaid patients would be guaranteed to receive payment that is at least 90% of what they would receive for treating Medicare patients. The goal of this legislation is to make participation in the Medicaid program more financially attractive for healthcare providers, which could help increase the number of providers willing to accept Medicaid patients. By potentially improving provider participation, the bill aims to expand access to healthcare services and improve the overall quality of care for Medicaid recipients, who are typically low-income individuals, families, and people with disabilities who rely on government-funded health insurance.
