Bill > HB2268

This bill introduces a new section of law in the Oklahoma Statutes related to Medicaid reimbursements for cognitive assessment and care planning services. The bill defines key terms, including "cognitive assessment and care planning services" (specifically referencing Current Procedural Terminology billing code 99483 from the American Medical Association), "contracted entity" (as previously defined in existing statute), and "Oklahoma Medicaid Program" (the state program administered by the Oklahoma Health Care Authority). The primary provision mandates that the Oklahoma Medicaid Program or its contracted entities must provide reimbursement for benefits delivered through cognitive assessment and care planning services. This legislation aims to ensure that specific medical services related to cognitive assessment and care planning are financially covered under the state's Medicaid program. The bill is set to become effective on November 1, 2025, giving healthcare providers and the Medicaid system time to prepare for the new reimbursement requirement.
