Bill > HB06098

This bill aims to restore the 2016 Medicaid payment rates for medication administration. Specifically, the legislation seeks to ensure that healthcare providers who administer medications are adequately compensated, with a particular focus on maintaining the quality of home-based care. Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that provides health coverage to millions of Americans, particularly those with low income, and this bill addresses the payment rates specifically related to the administration of medications. By reverting to the 2016 payment rates, the bill intends to support healthcare providers and maintain the accessibility and quality of medical services, especially for patients receiving care in their homes. The goal is to prevent potential reductions in compensation that might negatively impact healthcare providers' ability or willingness to deliver medication administration services.
