Bill > HB865

This bill amends Mississippi's Medicaid law to add neonatal circumcision procedures to the list of medical services covered under the state's Medicaid program. The bill specifically inserts a new paragraph (61) into the existing Medicaid services section, which will allow Medicaid to provide coverage for circumcisions performed on newborns. By adding this provision, the bill ensures that families enrolled in Medicaid can have neonatal circumcision procedures covered without additional out-of-pocket expenses. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, giving state healthcare administrators time to update their policies and procedures to implement the new coverage. While the bill does not provide extensive details about the specific circumstances or limitations of the coverage, it represents an expansion of medical services available to Medicaid recipients in Mississippi.
