Bill > HB2834

This bill directs the Oklahoma Health Care Authority to expand Medicaid coverage for in-home therapy services, specifically physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, to a level that is ninety-six percent of what Medicare currently pays. The proposed legislation would create a new section of law in Title 56 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which would require the state's Medicaid program to increase reimbursement rates for these home-based therapeutic services. By setting the reimbursement rate at 96% of Medicare rates, the bill aims to potentially improve access to essential therapy services for Medicaid recipients by making these services more financially viable for healthcare providers. The bill appears to be part of an effort to enhance healthcare coverage and support for individuals who require in-home rehabilitation and therapeutic interventions.
